I also need a little help though: I need a list of rhetorical questions, about 10 in all. The more ridiculous, the better.

"Do I look like an idiot?"

"Do you mind?"

"Do pigs love mud?"

"How many roads must a man walk down?"

[Helgoland]

Last one's not exactly a rhetorical question, but mmore of a koan...

"Is the pope Catholic?"

Is it wrong that I get upset when thread titles don't update often enough? *looks at current thread title that's been hanging around for months and months*

[BFEL]

It's not changed because I have yet to find any questions that jump out at me.

You could change it to [BFEL wasn't wrong, that's totally annoying!]

Muscle (or at least mucle fibers) can only pull. The rest is just clever use of levers.

Yeah, I'm glad for the clarification, because muscles pushing contradicted everything I knew about muscle action, unless they were perma-contracted, which would only raise more questions.

Does anyone know why you can feel things that are near your face even if they're not touching? I never really understood that, and trying to google appropriate keywords gets me stuff about ESP and the like.

Probably the small hairs on your skin, as well as sensitivity to changes in air-pressure. There're a lot of nerves in your face, after-all.

Pretty much this, s'far as I'm aware.

[Graknorke]

So the hairs are picking up... what exactly? Vibrations?

[Frumple]

Changes in the air, probably, or contact if it's close enough to touch the hairs, but not the skin. Mind you, as noted, there's nerves and junk beyond fuzz related ones. Face is pretty sensitive in general, as the illustrious Furniture D pointed out.

Though do note, if what it's picking up is your hand (or carried in your hand), instead of some other object, it may be one of the extra two senses no one bothers to talk about (equilibrium and positioning of limbs, though the latter could arguably be an extension of touch... I forget how effective it is with people that are numbed) kicking in.

[Graknorke]

No, the object I have in mind as my prime example was a tree. I am pretty sure that I am not tree.

... so, anyone know a quick and painless way to pull out and splice together a fairly lengthy PM conversation?

Like, download all of it and put it together as one unbroken conversation type of thing, with everything appropriately in order in regards to timestamps and whatnot.

[Aklyon]

Isn't there a PM setting to show them as conversations instead of individual messages?

[Frumple]

!!!

There is!

That makes this much easier, thank you.

E: Yeesss, saving three web pages is much nicer than splicing together 50 some odd pages of recieved PMs plus a dozen and change sent ones.
