maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted April 6, 2023 So, just reading this delightful compilation of random questions and erudite answers (from the pages of New Scientist magazine) One question asks whether you could - literally - eat yourself bulletproof, the answer apparently is no, taking a typical measure of the way police 9mm weapons are tested on packs of lard you could be covered in enough fat to ensure a bullet wouldn't reach your heart but the average man would need to weigh a shade over 102 stone to achieve that and would likely die in an attempt to reach that body mass.

Greek PASOK politician and Deputy PM 2009-2012 known for his quote "We ate them together" (meaning "We are all responsible for the debt", according to wikipedia. Whatever else he ate, he ate alone) When Mikis Theodorakis died last year, he said that he'll "meet you (Theodorakis) again soon". He's 83 now. Theodoros Pangalos has reportedly died as predicted: https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1212314/former-foreign-minister-theodoros-pangalos-dies/ 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Update from DES after a few weeks' radio silence. Trying to parse his garbled syntax, I think he's saying he was in the ICU for a week or so, and is still in hospice. Looks like absolute shit, will not see 2025. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
