[Arx]

Arc asked about whale milk, so I answered.

[Bohandas]

I got to take a field trip to a Monsanto facility.
Was very cool.
They seem to take care of exactness in what they do, we got to see these chambers they use (shut up portal fans) for testing plants in different environments and they seem to be pretty good at what they do. Their employees are also really nice (just a side note), I think I might get a minor in plant science just to work there didn't college (they are planning on opening a bunch of new jobs when I get out of highschool so yay! [wouldnt that be wierd an aerospace or nuclear engineer with a minor in plant science?])
Anywho GMOs seem to be a good choice, only down side is some bugs are able to, over time, become (genetically?) immune to the insecticides that the plants produce (GMO plants that is).

Also the fact that their senior management keeps raising the bar for corporate douchebaggery.

[Aseaheru]

I dont think its a case of pesticides the plants produce (atleast not Monsanto's), but rather the pesticides the plants are resistant to, I.E., Roundup, that wonderful thing that fucks up cell division.

[Arx]

They're modded to contain BT, a pesticide. This will eventually result in BT resistant pests.

Also Roundup is an herbicide, I think.

[Bohandas]

Businesses, especially those doing stuff with medical records, do a lot of faxing.

Why?

Arent the roundup ready series of plants Monsanto's main offering?

Also, you are correct. It still messes up cell division.

Ya what they said

[Aseaheru]

"They" being mostly me, and partially the person who started the conversation... Cryxis... Are you saying I am more than one person? I dont think I am...

* Aseaheru starts checking for other copies of himself...

[Orange Wizard]

Oh, sorry. I should probably get Asea #17 off the computer now. He can go back in the cage with the others.

[BlackFlyme]

I thought I was prepared for the quiz today. I was able to get most of it, I believe. I barely got it done within the time limit.

Could be worse. One person just handed the test back blank. Why would you not at least attempt to put something in?

Also, no-one seems to know anything in my law class. It's just strange hearing people's responses. Not as bad as sociology last year, thankfully.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Took a BS iq test today
Standard deviation of 10 points (teacher said that and explained it as the test can be off ten points in either direction)
The majority of the questions were either deciphering mixed up things/ made up words/ patterns. Or legit questions written in a confusing way
I scored a 102....
Highest score of the day (from an unlikely person) was 113
I think I was the highest in my class or one other kid got 103-4 I forget..

[Flying Dice]

That actually sounds more like a real IQ test, not least because the results actually fell closely clustered around the average.

[Quartz_Mace]

It's incredibly rich and fatty. Imagine melted ice-cream without the sugar.

Now I want whale milk.

Well, first, you'll need a whale. Then, you'll need a stool and a bucket.

[FearfulJesuit]

If you play music to whales, they'll produce more milk.
