THAT SHIZ

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

haven't had that much time to ask questions besides "how the eff do i do mmss hw?"

I was in a Chi O new member meeting...
Q:
Is our 4th finger the ring finger for a reason?
WIKIED THAT SHIZ.
A: "the wedding ring is worn on the left ring finger because the vein in the left ring finger, referred to as the vena amoris was believed to be directly connected to the heart, a symbol of love."

I was eating grapes...
Q:
Are those big grapes that have seeds in them and inedible skins Japanese or Korean?
WIKIED THAT SHIZ.
A: Japanese. Kyoho grapes originated in the Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan. However, they're grown in other regions of Japan, Chile, and California. I googled "Korean grapes" and these grapes came up, so the source of confusion is legit.

I was looking at Chris' keys...
Q:
What are those camping keychains that attach things called?
GOOGLED THAT SHIZ. WIKIED THAT SHIZ.
A: Carabiner. But "biner" was the word that escaped me.

I was reading Native Son...
Q:
Why does the KKK burn the cross if they're Christian?
GOOGLED THAT SHIZ. WIKIED THAT SHIZ. TWIZE.
A: 3 different answers. Google: because the media brought the idea from Scottish tradition. Wiki: they were "lighting" the cross to show their faith or to intimidate its victims and show its power.

We were prepping for Green Cup...
Q:
Does turning on and off lights use more energy than just leaving it on?
GOOGLED THAT SHIZ. TWIZE.
A: Not completely. While there is a temporary spike of energy usage, you'll probably save more energy turning the light off. It may reduce their life though. There weren't that many legit sources for this answer. Just don't flick lights on and off repeatedly while singing the Spiderman song.

Everyday when I walk to class...
Q:
How many different North Face backpack names are there?
GOOGLED THAT SHIZ.
A: Way to effing many. There's at least 100. The most common ones I see at NU are Jester, Recon, Surge, Isabella and Hotshot.

I was talking to Steven...
Q:
What is the avg number of sexual partners for gay men vs. straight men?
GOOGLED THAT SHIZ. TWIZE.
A: Who knows? There's no official data. Steven told me 200 for homosexuals, 20 for straight. May or may not be true...
"The average number of sex partners for straight white men is 35. (N = 2991)
The average number of sex partners for gay men is 42. (N = 87)"

"In their study of the sexual profiles of 2,583 older homosexuals published in Journal of Sex Research, Paul Van de Ven et al. found that "the modal range for number of sexual partners ever [of homosexuals] was 101–500." In addition, 10.2 percent to 15.7 percent had between 501 and 1000 partners. A further 10.2 percent to 15.7 percent reported having had more than 1000 lifetime sexual partners. Paul Van de Ven et al., "A Comparative Demographic and Sexual Profile of Older Homosexually Active Men," Journal of Sex Research 34 (1997): 354."

I got a text from AMY LEE!
Q:
Does scolisis affect your height?
GOOGLED THAT SHIZ. TWIZE.
A:
yes. "A formula for the height loss caused by the lateral curves, and that caused by thoracic kyphosis, was derived" "Adults, who have not suspected that they have a curvature of the spine, may realize that they are rapidly losing height which could be an indication of a progressive curvature of the spine" Sorry Amy :(
