I would like a knowledge chip. All this old fashioned learning and studying really keeps a man up. Of course that may just be the no sleep talking. Please direct me towards some IV caffiene.

a knowledge chip would make me even more lazy than I am now.

Well, there is the <i>Matrix</i> method of learning, but judging from Neo's expression, it's pretty agonizing.<br><br>My personal dream power: enter a realm outside of this-world time, where you can take all the time you like to study/read/play before moving on to other obligations. You might see me vanish for an instant and return with a comeback I couldn't make off the cuff.

[Bocaj Claw]

That would be awesome! Bending the rules of space/time to come up with insults! ... How appropriate. You fight like a cow!

You know I had sort of a hullucination one time when I learned to much <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo--> . I did my science fair project in 8th grade about Soponification (the procees that makes soap). That included some Junior to Senior year chemistry (it may have even been early college). Well of course I did it all in one night (I had written about 1 and a half pages of info in 10 point font). Also I wrote the setup (about 2 pages) a 3 paragraph conclusion all about soap. And a 4-5 sentence hypothesis (about soap). Well I stayed up all night got the board together and then went to school. I was exhausted and virtually brainwashed with my head filled with facts about soap that I kept thinking as as I was snoozing in class about how to make soap and that I thought people were yelling "Soap, Soap Soap, why are you sleeping, soap, soap, soap...." And then i screamed something in class and I was half awake and everyone in the class was looking at me. i hadn't taken my medication either so during the night I had to rest and do a few spamodic twitches (like flailing arms and stuff). So all that combined gave me a verbal hullicination from learning to much about soap <!--emo&:flee:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/flee.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='flee.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

I love the effects of sleep deprivation. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> the best part is that in the end you get to sleep. <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->

How your brain becomes dependent on soap:<br><br><!--QuoteBegin--> <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'><b>Quote:</b> </td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> For about five thousand years mankind has used soap for cleanliness. There is evidence that soap has been in use since at least 2800 B.C.E. when inscriptions on Babylonian clay containers were found that state that a product was made from fats boiled with ashes. Texts dating back to 1500 B.C.E. refer to medical use of soap to treat sores and skin diseases. These texts also say that both animal and vegetable fats and oils were combined with alkaline salts to make the medicinal soap. The aqueducts during Roman times made bathing a part of daily life for many. Though instead of soap they more likely used abrasive substances, such as sand and pumice, which they rubbed their skin with. Afterward they would use sticks to scrape away the dirt. <br><br>In the ancient ruins of the city of Pompeii a whole soap factory was found, Pompeii was a city that was destroyed in 76 C.E. That would mean that soap was probably made for commercial use prior to even one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine years ago. Unfortunately we have not yet discovered if this factory supplied soap to textile industries or physicians and apothecaries. We do know though, that soap for commercial and household use has been around for millennia. Today, most soaps are not made from wood ashes but from commercial lye such as Red Devil Lye. Though, both animal and vegetable fats and oils are still used to day, along with the combination of water and lye. Only the way in which it is made has changed, even that is not much different from soap making in the time of the Romans.<br><br>Soap is a substance made from a natural process of hydrolysis called saponification. Saponification is the reaction of a base (sometimes called an alkali, or a substance that has a higher pH than 7.0, in this case it is lye) and a fat or oil (also known as lipids). Water is used to make the hydrolysis occur. One of the reasons why soap making was once a dangerous craft was that the water could have been
