It's okay to like lamb meat, since it's not Lana.  :P

  I'm assuming this is a play on words?  Lana means wool in italian.  Please humour an old man and let me in on the joke.  :'(

You're kind of right. Actually her name is Lanolina, but we call her Lana for short.

She looks a bit vicious.  I see some bloodlust and killer instinct in those eyes.  You better be careful.

I saw article recently about whether or not people would eat cloned human meat.  Gross idea, but someone (even yourself) donates some cells, they grow a limb, and voila!  You could have a human-burger.  Second of the same thing if you wanted.

So we could have Thal-burger or Bob-burger someday soon.  If it's only a part, it's not like you're eating conscious being.  And if it's synthetically grown.... Sounds sick, but you know someone out there would probably want to eat it.

I didn't think of it.  I found an article.  And of course had to read the article once I found it.  It's kind of a strange loophole, although it did mention you could eat "the" best steak over and over that way. (not a human steak, a beef steak)

Thank you Thal! :) I like you when you're nice  :P  :)

But why would you wanna eat yourself? I mean don't you have all that stuff in yourself already? and then you wouldn't get anything new  :-\ well it is very gross anyway. But I have been thinking for a long time why can't people just grow meat like that so they wouldn't have to kill poor cute animals! Well I hate the taste of meat anyway! yuk yuk yuk!!!!  :-X  :-X And I don't eat it! When I was in preschool they were forcing me to eat it  :( but then once I threw up when a teacher put a piece of meat in my mouth and then she wasn't forcing me anymore... I think that's child abuse to force a kid to eat something they hate so much!  >:( and once I wanted to run away form home because my mum wanted me to eat some meat, but the keys were somewhere high so I couldn't reach them so I couldn't run away  ::) Well I was eating chicken nuggets sometimes cause they don't taste so much like meat :) but now I don't even eat that anymore... but I do eat fish sometimes (so my mum is happy  ::) ) cause I don't hate the taste of fish. so I would just wanna grow some fish meat for myself  :P I wrote so much again  ::)

1.59m is approximately 5'2½" in Imperial measure (as if anyone cared about Imperial measure these days!), which does not seem at all abnormal to me, so I'd stop concerning yourself with that. As to piano stool height, different pianists and teachers have differing views on optimal positions, so you'll just have to find out what works best for you, regardless of your actual height.

(well I think kids at 11 or 12 are supposed to be from 1,46 to 1,52 m tall so I am too tall, but I guess not thaaaaaat much  :)  :D  :P  cause I found something on youtube about tallest kids in the world and I think one girl was like 1,79 m tall at 11!! )

Not any more, I imagine; spirit measurements in fractions of a gill went out some time ago, albeit not quite with the ark.

You/they'll have a long wait, especially since, haviong once eaten there, I tend to call that place something that sounds broadly similar but involves a slight mistyping of its first letter (i.e. one to the right and a consequent alteration of the second vowel if you must, but you get my drift, I imagine) and I would not in any case order as much as a single drop of ale there or anywhere else, since I cannot abide the stuff, real or synthetic, thanks all the same!

56,8cc of ale??? Hmm, there's a new Dutch beer which, at 60%vol alcohol, would do the trick at that volume I think. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE66S3SR20100729. It's called "Start the Future", which may well be the wrong way round...
Not that I would know, of course!

Howdy folks! Just registered here and look forward to posting more in the future. I'm a big fan of putting a face to the name so here's my pic and look forward to seeing others as well in due course

 :)



As for my story, studied piano as a kid, hated it and quit in high school ..... took a 13 year hiatus and have spent the past few years practicing like a madman. Planning to perform a Rach concerto before I die  ;)

PS - this pic above was taken in the Yukon. I'm originally from Canada but now live in Hong Kong (where my mom is from).
