    Bread

    About Bread !! " Warning: Bread is Evil. Did you know: 1) More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters ! 2) Exactly half of all children who grow up in bread - eating households score in the bottom 50% on standardized IQ tests ! 3) In the 19th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 55 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, scarlet fever, smallpox and influenza ravaged entire nations ! 4) Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread ! 5) Bread is made from a substance called "dough." Researchers have proven that as little as one pound of dough can choke a large animal like a horse. The average person eats more bread than that in one month ! 6) Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days ! 7) Bread is a "gateway" food item, which usually leads to such items as butter, jam, peanut butter and even ... bacon ! 8) Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die ! 9) Unattended newborn babies can choke on bread ! 10) Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 425 degrees Fahrenheit ! Don't laugh...that kind of heat can kill a full grown adult in less than five minutes. 11) 96 % of cancer victims eventually admit that they've eaten bread ! 12) Sadly, 9 out of 10 bread eaters are unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling. (Not Critical Thinkers Like You !!) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Misinformation One could argue that every one of these individual "factoids" about bread is "true." The way the "factoids" compare bread with danger, and the use of official - statistical - scientifical sounding words cause the unthinking reader to make connections of logic that aren't true. . The only one that's true is #12. The others falsely imply new information that really isn't there !! (The very real problem is that much of the information in our modern society is presented this way.)
  2. They're at most major US military bases, in the US and around the world, you just gotta have a government ID or know someone with one that'll get you in.
  3. The Navy has exactly what you're talking about, I'm sure if you google Navy auto hobby shop, you should find something. The use of a bay and tools were real cheap, but the Navy can afford that. I understand what the other guys are about the price you would have charge and liability and all that. You would have to charge way more than the Navy. Here: http://www.newriver.usmc-mccs.org/autohobbyshop.html That's an example, you would probably have to charge more than they do.

    curious

    I'm just curious about starting in the automotive repair indurstry. When you're 18 or just getting out of hight school, do you think it's better to start in a dealership or independent? I kinda feel like when you first start being a tech, you will not get paid much either way you go. But, if you're already 30 and got a family independent is the way to go, because you already got established guys at the dealership getting all the good work at flatrate. After a certain age

    Duel (movie)

    That's the name of that movie! I always wondered what was the name of that movie, it scared me when I was a kid. I love that flick, very little talking.

    Intro

    Hey guys, I'm an auto tech and I got a 240Z that I just acquired last year, I haven't done much to it yet, just a port and polish that I was practicing and it turned out pretty good. I want to start taking it to National Trail to see what kind of numbers I put up. Gotta get a seat belt first, but I should be out there soon. Anyone else have a Datsun? %5Bimg%5Dhttp%3A//i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk86/nuinqua/may23_003.jpg[/img]
