Things you found out in life way later than you should have.

terminal velocity for a human body is approx. 138mph IIRC.


Goodfvking luck

lol, when I learned it was true it was kind of odd. I used to have dreams of jumping out of airplanes, landing in the middle of the Pacific, and swimming to Hawaii. Then once I learned, nightmares started occuring and Satan would push me instead, causing me to fall to my death.

Wow. That's quite harsh. :Q

You have not learned anything young padawan...

I think it is safe IF you break the surface tesion and the water is deep enough for the height you are falling from. But what happens after you hit the water and survive is up in the air.

Mythbusters tested this in a previous episode. The first part was just the dummy falling from X distance. The second part was a hammer attached to the dummy falling first to break the surface tension and then the dummy. IIRC the difference between the two was negligible. You would either be dead or suffer extensive injury.

Most people, even your good friends, don't really look out for anyone but themselves and couldn't care less.

where the good advice here?

Neither candidate is ever any good. Good people don't go into politics--or they don't stay good long enough to make a difference.

That perception truly is reality.

And that I don't know everything.

I'm not as smart as I think I am.

I was 27 when I realized what "It was in the last place I looked" really was saying.

I used to think that there was a word suddle, and it meant the same thing as the word subtle, and the word subtle was pronounced "sub-tle" (like it is spelled, hooked on phonics) and meant something different.

I never could spell or read so good...

When investing in the stock market, and a stock is going up, it is wise to pull out early. Remember the following:

:music: I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure :music:

And the world is going to hell in a handbasket, especially with parents doing the horrible job they are these days.

Oh, plus females aren't worth it (haven't been for me yet) so don't worry about them as much as other stuff and they'll get more interested (because you show little interest in them, they think it's some mindgame). Females suck pretty much.

Intelligence by itself won't get you very far in life.

There's a reason women stay away from "nice guys". It doesn't matter how loyal you are, or if you wait on her hand and foot. She's going to dump your ass if you can't keep her entertained.

I guess YMMV on that one.

It took me until 22 to learn how to eat healthily, It took me until 23 to learn how to exercise properly and I still do not weight train properly. All things I feel I should have learned WAY WAY earlier in life. Infact, just realizing you don't understand such simple things is aggravating in and of itself.

When I finally learn how easy it is to change the oil in your vehicle, I will let you know how much sooner I probably should have known that too!

up until 6th grade I thought debris was said der-bis not der-bree. Also I kept saying Stanmina instead of stamina... by the english language.

Yep. And now that I see that, I find it near impossible to find the audacity to push my self that far, consistently. And not letting how many ppl are in the gym dictate how long I work out. (I hate a full gym, distracts me.)

I have a pantry full of canned soups and ravioli! I try to rationalize by calling it "earthquake food" DOH

You should donate that to the hurricaine victims

Nah... they'll use them to break Best Buy's windows and steal TV's and whatnot.

Or they'll pelt them at rescue helicopters.

I hate to break it to you but you still have it wrong.

1. Never understood why Mick Jagger would never be a pizza burning....

2. Not so sure that it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all...

Maybe something to do with the fact that he just farted?
