Nerds are bad for diabetes.

So, to cure Type II diabetes, one should include a healthy amount of nerds in one's diet.  Diabetes won't stand a chance.

That's a fact.

My daddy has a gold tooth.

[j_tour]

Well, that's good.  My father has had Type 1 (Juvenile) diabetes, diagnosed since he was, like eight or something.  As did one of his older sisters.  He's still hanging on like a boss, though:  effectively lacking a functioning pancreas is no joke. 

Coïncidence?  I had a teeth cleaning last week and now a few of my teeth are more sensitive than normal.

[perfect_pitch]

It would be good in our lifetime to see them finally cure diabetes. You have to love science.

[lostinidlewonder]

It is cured by diet and lifestyle changes for a number of cases.

100 years ago

In 1922 the scientists went to a hospital ward with diabetic children, most of them comatose and dying from diabetic keto-acidosis. This is known as one of medicine's most incredible moments. Imagine a room full of parents sitting at the bedside waiting for the inevitable death of their child. The scientists went from bed to bed and injected the children with the new purified extract - insulin. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first child injected began to awaken. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room of death and gloom became a place of joy and hope.

[perfect_pitch]

Imagine being one of those doctors or nurses seeing these kids on deaths door, and then minutes later being able to resume their lives. Must have been an astounding moment in history.

I believe one of the first scientists to identify Type I (Juvenile) Diabetes had occasion to taste the urine of a subject, and noticed its sweet taste.  And correlated this to the defective ability of the subject's pancreas to secrete insulin.

I wouldn't know anything about diabetes caused by lifestyle choices.

It is, however, true that insulin-dependent diabetics are advised from the time of diagnosis to monitor their blood glucose levels rigorously, to avoid complications.  It's rather uncommon for Type I diabetics to have high levels of body fat.

You're a fun bunch!

There's nothing wrong with talking Science. I find it fascinating. I mean, I know the concept of say teleportation is absolutely impossible not just in my life, but in pretty much everyones life, but it's fuel to motivate scientists imaginations.

Well, teleportation has been demonstrated and proven in the subatomic world of quantum mechanics. Many technological advances we have today certainly would have seemed impossible in the past.

Yeah, but we are billions and trillions of particles, and the odds of any technology being able to recombine all our particles in the right place and location seem infinitely impossible.

Who knows what future technology will be out there if humanity doesn't destroy itself. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"

Arthur Clarke if I remember correctly.

Speaking of technology - this is one of the funniest bits of comedy I've ever seen regarding technology. Gotta love this man.

I can't tell if that's a picture of a guy who's about to make a game winning kick...

...or whether that balls trajectory is aimed STRAIGHT at his testicles, ready to crush them with furious speed.

Could be both! 

No, some douche actually attempted to "rough the kicker."  I think here it was roughing the punter, but same thing.  It's not considered a real good move, and is dealt with in terms of lashes and the scorn of all concerned.

I never understood football, so I don't know...

So, all sports, everywhere, anywhere.  Provided one is a mere spectator and not a teetotaller.

Yeah - that sounds about right... oh, except for Tennis, and Golf. You don't see people drinking 40oz slurpies and beer while mashing their face full of cheetos and doritos.

Or spectators at horse races (those at the Kentucky Derby are notorious for vomiting all over their very fancy clothes, cf. HSThompson's account, or at pool/billiards/snooker tournaments).

Hell golfers themselves are mostly known, until recently, for being chain smoking fat-ass buffoons, regardless of their abilities.

When you say beer drinkers who stuff themselves full of crisps, I'm inclined to think of the average Frenchman watching a game of "footie."

Nah... for me - it's the Americans. I've seen footage of them at their big games, writing their team name on their abdomens (they're very large, obese abdomens), and yelling like ancient warriors sacrificing a virgin to the alter, in which that if they don't should loud enough, they won't ward off the evil spirits.

But, yes, Dara O'Briain is a very funny man.  Imagine having to explain that as of tomorrow afternoon, I shall have a device installed that does not allow a vehicle to be driven without providing a sample of one's breath.  It's very clever!  How does it work?  Not very well, since apparently smoking a briar pipe or cigarettes or my personal favorite, Axe Body Spray, may contaminate the device!

And a potato?  To attract the desired mate, put one in your pants!  The front half of your pants, you bloody idjit!

At first I thought you collected a bunch of random quotes to make up some of your more over the top responses... but god damn, they seem to be genuine thoughts that originated in your mind.
