Once youre done with riding them they make great braziers as well.

I have a theory that mail carriers have the highest tolerance to viruses and bacteria given their handling of letters and packages on a daily basis.

I'm gonna see your mail carriers, and raise you preschool teacher. Kids are pretty much just big bags of germs.

Add in anyone who handles a lot of cash transactions (money is gross yo) and shopping trolly guys (surprisingly shopping trolleys/carts are right up there with toilet seats).

What in the holy hell are shopping trollies?

I almost got run over by one the other day at Target. Not a fan.

There should be a law against that.

I have a theory that I'm the most important person in the world, that everything is about me but others are acting as if it was not the case so I don't learn that I'm the owner of planet earth and put them all to work for me.

[Lootifer]

That can be easily tested. Order me to do something.

Not final proof, because you are acting and can act as I'm not the boss of everyone.

Me being free to act implies you arent actually the boss of everyone; QED motherfucker.

It's a plot. And I must somehow go to a court and claim my right by birth, meanwhile everybody is free. If I discover the truth I can go to that court and everyone will then be my slaves.

I have a theory that autism, schozophrenia, allergies and asthma are primarily caused by epigenetic effects and that we will be able to prevent them within 10 years.

I have a theory that since the advent of transposons in mammals and grasses occured simultaneously with the spread of mammals and grasses went from being fringe plants to having entire ecosystems named after them, that transposons were a major evolutionary force during those years. Furthermore, I have a theory that the most recent mass extinction is a result of this incredible diversification, since it corresponded with the time that mammal transposons were silenced.

I don't know the meaning of transposons and I'm not willing to google it.

I have a theory that since the advent of transposons in men and donkeys occured simultaneously with the spread of dildos and chains went from being fringe benefits to having entire pasttimes named after them, that transposons were a major evolutionary playtime during those years. Furthermore, I have a theory that the most recent mass orgasm is a result of this incredible tranposonification, since it corresponded with the time that male transposons were satiated.

I have a theory that BBS aims to maintain an average word size above 5 letters in all his posts - including single letter words. I have begun testing and the above post confirms I am correct: 5.25.

Evolution anyone?

I think its possible, that as you age, as a man, your DNA changes subtly along the way, and you help pass on different traits to your offspring depending upon your age, and the environmental/social forces you encounter along the way.

I feel it accounts for the evolutionary changes one finds in environments that suit those environments. In other words, if I spend my life as a swimmer, and then have a child, he/she is slightly more likely to pick up swimming easier, all other things being equal. The female eggs I believe are made at birth, so I don't believe they can change internally as such, except to say the older ones, and random ones, may be more likely to pass on particular genetic diseases, and/or mutations.

I also theorize everyone will agree with me.

Sorry for the double theory but:

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

A new study actually links schizophrenia to people who have no sense of smell, in that they are far more likely to develop the disease.

As far as asthma goes. I had it very bad as a child. I was told I would never run or play sports. At one point I was getting weekly epi shots. It was easily the most unhealthy drug taking time of my life. My parents enrolled me in swim classes, and I swear I swam the disease out of me. Since high school, Ive never had any symptoms since, and in my age bracket, I'm pretty damn healthy, and not many would want to bike, swim or ski against me now. Maybe when I get older the symptoms will return, as they did for my maternal grandmother, but I can't fathom I am not fully cured of the disease.

I know people who had it at my age too, and I am astonished they still suffer. I chalk it up to luck, but I know the swimming was a catalyst, as well as a very active lifestyle in my college years.

Still can't run for a damn though. Its the only thing that still gets me winded.

I can top that...I read it as transspoons.

This, as well as Fitz's theory are definitely up for debate in the causation vs. correlation department but hey, anything's possible.

Oh, I fully agree and don't suggest any direct correlation, especially when there is only one test subject, but if you have asthma, or a child with asthma, I think getting them to swim as much as possible, taking all safety precautions of course, would at worst, make them good swimmers, and if any benefit was attained, all the better.

[DoomYoshi]

Swimming is a pretty incredible workout.

I fully support your theory that swimming is good for you.
I remember one summer where I literally swam nearly every day. The average day brought probably at least a half a mile, some days miles (swimming back and forth across a local lake). I would definitely say I was the most fit I've been in my life and had basically zero body fat.
