😍 Kitaro
Still remember college friend w/ ridiculous (i.e. fantastically so) stereo system.
Friend: Sit there in the middle of the room and relax
Friend: Starts Kitaro's God of Thunder
Also friend: *Turns up volume to 11*
Me: *all the feels*
Also me: *OMG - the bass is moving through my chest!!!* 🤯

Today Me: I want - again
Omg! lol!
 
Why does a moon rock taste better than an Earth rock? It’s a little meteor.

How much do rainbows weigh? Not much. They’re actually pretty light.

A slice of apple pie costs $2.50 in Jamaica, $3.75 in Bermuda, and $3 in the Bahamas. Those are the pie-rates of the Caribbean.

What's the difference between spring rolls and summer rolls? Their seasoning.

I can always tell when someone is lying. I can tell when they're standing too.

I found a book called How to Solve 50% of Your Problems. So I bought 2.

Why do quarterbacks tell obvious jokes? So they don't go over their receivers' heads.

What do you call a criminal landing an airplane? Condescending.

The average body temperature is not 98.6 degrees.

[TD]In 1851, German physician Carl Wunderlich conducted a thorough experiment to determine the average human body temperature. In the city of Leipzig, Wunderlich stuck a foot-long thermometer inside 25,000 different human armpits, and discovered temperatures ranging from 97.2 to 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The average of those temperatures was the well-known 98.6 degrees — aka the number you hoped to convincingly exceed when you were too “sick” to go to school as a kid. For more than a century, physicians as well as parents have stuck with that number, but in the past few decades, experts have started questioning if 98.6 degrees is really the benchmark for a healthy internal human temperature.

For one thing, many factors can impact a person’s temperature. The time of day, where the temperature was taken (skin, mouth, etc.), if the person ate recently, their age, their height, and their weight can all impact the mercury. Furthermore, Wunderlich’s equipment and calibrations might not pass scientific scrutiny today. Plus, some experts think humans are getting a little colder, possibly because of our overall healthier lives. Access to anti-inflammatory medication, better care for infections, and even better dental care may help keep our body temperatures lower than those of our 19th-century ancestors.

In 1992, the first study to question Wunderlich’s findings found a baseline body temperature closer to 98.2 degrees. A 2023 study refined that further and arrived at around 97.9 degrees (though oral measurements were as low as 97.5). However, the truth is that body temperature is not a one-size-fits-all situation. For the best results, try to determine your own baseline body temperature and work with that. We’re sure Wunderlich won’t mind.[/TD]

I wonder if age isn't a factor as well. My kids run a little hotter and I'm sure it's due to metabolism. I'm guessing a higher metabolism is indicative of the body working hard and therefore creating heat as a byproduct.

Ever heard of the meat sweats? While that is specific to eating a high amount of protein in a short time period, it is still the increased metabolic rate that is responsible for a higher body temperature.

I summarize that a higher metabolism creates a higher temperature whether your doing anything or not. Exercising, eating or even thinking can increase metabolism and therefore body temperature.

And let's not forget those other internal processes that increase body temperature due to metabolism. Illness, pregnancy, hormone changes, and muscle fatigue. These are all examples of the body working overtime to metabolize something extra or something that doesn't belong.

Sorry for the oration. I fell asleep after work today. Just needed a nap before fixing dinner ... Didn't make it. I woke up after everyone went to bed. The night before was filled with watching tornadoes and texting my brother when to go to his shelter when his power went out. We had several close calls that night in our area.

So, good morning!?!

I've missed these. 😆
