Hmm yeah, that'd be especially true if we were eating eagles...  or other carnivores.
But we practically exclusively eat herbivore meat.
This is, however (as mentioned) why large fish tend to have higher concentrations of mercury, and why they're less wise to eat.

Alternatively: stop imposing your Western cultural imperialism on us, American dog.

I mean yeah it's true that mercury becomes more concentrated as you go up the food chain...

I'm saying we're, by choice, usually eating from low on the food chain.  So eagles have it rough, but we're okay.
I guess that cannibalism would make things worse by a step, but I argue it'd be such a tiny portion of a typical diet (even assuming 100% cannibalism which is absurd) that it wouldn't have much impact.

Okay, here is a major WTF

Somehow, and supposedly merely by copying a bunch of images and video off of a DVD from a family gathering, my dad managed to fuck up his entire computer. Just about every single program now opens Windows Media Center. Twice.

Steam? WMC.
Internet Explorer? WMC.
Email? WMC.
Anti-virus? WMC.

Now I'm expected to fix it. I mean, if it were simply opening all image files in WMC or something I could probably change the default program settings to stop it. But how the goddamn hell do you get the computer to stop thinking that most every .exe is actually WMC? How the fuck could something like that even happen in the first place?!

Man, there ain't no hate for the cannibal sheep. I just think she needs an awesome fez stained in the blood of her people. Mary the Metal, Eater of Lambs, Bringer of Silence, Wearer of the Bloodied Fez, the Killing Sea. Bring this to truth, EB. Make it reality. Construct the fez.

So the only fix is to download a registry file from the Internet and blindly merge it, or else to manage to edit your registry without regedit (which is a .exe if memory serves?)? Jesus.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Hell if I know. I once managed to somehow fuck my old computer to the point where every single .msi program it was trying to install was doing so in Korean language (and quite often randomly failing to do so for no apparent reason), and every time I right clicked on any file or a folder it tried to install some other .msi program (and failing). I've had to go on some deep Google search to find a way to fix that.

Yep. That's what you get for listening to MRAs :V
The obvious solution is to never listen to anyone except myself, then I never have to be wrong again.

I have realized that I have the most slightest extreme reaction to being tickled, that any poke of the finger at my tummy or sides elicits a very strong aversive reaction.

Meaning I am very vulnerable to tickles. [Thanks big bro]
And I just realized how exact it is...now that I get to write it down.

Ahh. ._.
