well, i mean obviously it doesn't include women who are regulating their own periods. For the others, in theory, their cycles vary until they are in sync

You are talking ****e about periods.

because you said "For those who are on the pill, how would they all start their 'first' pill on the same day to end up having their withdrawal bleed at the same time?"
I was just saying the 'myth' was never meant to include women who were on the pill

True, and ILYV clearly has a PHD from both

The myth doesn't include anybody. It's simple bolloxology.

On the contrary, it's sort of true....in that it does happen with female mice grouped together (it's called the Whitten Effect) if exposed to male pheromones. No evidence for it in humans though.

All claims by Hulk Hogan all bulls**t

* he once had a tryout with Metallica
* Elvis used to sit ringside at his matches in Memphis. Hogan debuted in Memphis in 79, Elvis died in 1977.
* he drank John Belushi under the table at Wrestlemania 2 in 1986. John Belushi died 1982.
* he fought George Foreman in a boxing match
* Dwayne 'Rock' Johnson broke all Hogan's ribs when performing his finishing move at Wrestlemania 18.

Birds are living dinosaurs of the suborder Theropoda.

I was going to add him ever being in the WWE hall of fame, but it looks like he
was re-instated a while ago...

I believed they originated in the Mesozoic era.

or were they sufficiently evolved from dinosaurs before the meteor hit 65 million years ago to be classed as 'bird' not 'dinosaur' ...?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegavis

The discovery of the type species, Vegavis iaai, demonstrates that the major groups of bird alive today had already diversified in the Cretaceous. This supports the longstanding phylogenetic inferences of paleornithologists.[citation needed] It has been hailed as the first definitive physical proof that representatives of some of the groups of modern birds lived in the Mesozoic

Regardless of their evolutionary state 67 million years ago, birds - both those living then and now - are classified as being part of the clade Dinosauria.

Might there not be something in that or is it complete BS? I was told "homeostasis" when I was in school, and not knowing what homeostasis was, made no further enquiries.

Hot tea killed my father in his 60s. A lifetime of swilling very hot tea gave him esophageal cancer.

The conservation of energy would be the thing to consider. If you introduce heat to something its temperature increases not decreases. I suspect that the resulting sweating, from drinking hot tea when you're already feeling warm, might give people the impression they're cooling but sweating is a consequence of overheating.

That they used Milk in the filming of 'singing in the rain'. I've been telling that to people for years until some guy in film production explained the whole process. Mind was blown.

Little bit off topic but seems to be an increase on people falling for fake news mixed in with a bit of subtle xenophobia. Most recent was sharing an artice about Australia prime minister states if you don't want to abide by our law then go home'. Simple search showed the 'prime minister' named was never prime minister, also not a politician any more and actually never even said it.

Also a lot of stories of US Marines saving toddlers in kindergartens close to the Pentagon during 9/11 attacks. Never happened.

Because of the cameras at the time they had to use “milk” for the rain scene in ‘Singin’ in the Rain’.

The use of inverted commas around "milk" raises a lot of questions....

Dunno. I used to believe it but this humid summer just passed, I couldn’t cope with hot tea during the day. Maybe in lower humidity hot weather?

I seen a thing on twitter before saying that given the higher prevalence of conditions like aspergers in scientific circles, it's actually technically more correct to state that autism causes vaccines
