    Why, what other health problems do you have if have a good diet?

    And indeed. Everything is an echo of Saturnalia. Give people an excuse to feast and/or party and they will. I believe it is ground in instinct based on the shortness of life and the potential for lean times. In the simplest terms; "You only live once."
    Though, if I remember... Carnival started for reasons of practicality... After all, why let the foods forbidden during Lent go to waste?
    You can find all of the first season on Youtube. It's so deliciously campy. We also watched Addam's Family Values while they did their makeup, which holy smokes is a hoot! Angelica Houston as Morticia, rrrrrrrrawr.

    There is deeper witchcraft in Hallowe'en than the feast-or-famine candle against the darkness, I think. It is a blossoming of repressed desires, a pressure valve for our demons, ... I have not enjoyed my stimulant yet this morning, so my poetic perspicacity to describe what I mean is limited. I shall remedy that dearth momentarily.

    I could stand to lose a few kilos, but it's not essential.

    It is indeed the most expensive spice by mass [and sublime in its colour and fragrance], and yet considering one uses but a feather's weight at a time, the exercise is not really meaningful.

    Lutfisk is only really eaten for Christmas, but even then it's on the decline, because the taste is something you need to get used to. It's pretty funny how our traditional Christmas food originally was the only types of food you could preserve over the winter, like pickled herring, root vegetables, cabbage and sausages, but in large amounts and with a newly butchered ham on top to mark the festivities.

    Pickled herring can be seen as weird if you think too much about it, but it's rather commonplace, as is gravad lax. Surströmming is only eaten for the sake of eating surströmming.

    Sort of. I had a general idea of your location, but didn't feel like trawling through the archives in search for the place where you mentioned your hometown and then double-check it with Google Maps, and since the whole point behind the map was for it to be disproportionate, haphazard and generally non-sensical, that was just the perfect spot for me to aim for.

    Planning for lab-assisting, juxtaposing schedules and preparing myself in general. Man, I just feel so important. Knowing that I'm officially employed by the oldest university of the Nordics does nothing to help me keep my inflated ego down either.

    Still, better than a reputation in 'taters. Especially the people who've always professed a desire to see you in tatters. Lacy, gently wafting tatters.

    Too bad there's so little of Moonie to go around though, I'm certain we've both missed out on the feasting.

    Why, what other health problems do you have if have a good diet?
    Ahh, nothing a good organ purchase can't fix then, specially if not congenital but caused by ingestion of alcohol.

    I do not have a good diet, I have one that allows me to be inside proper body mass range; but at times I will oscillate between the two extremes, and it is by no means healthy, starting by the fact that I can boast not having eaten an unfried vegetable or fruit for 15 years.

    There have been times when I have not eaten for two days and others when I had two lunches, three tea times and the customary breakfast and dinner.

    My body is also suffering the effects of having had hobbies which on hindsight despite being incredible experiences have left me considerably less pristine than the average person, for best or for worse.

    Are you sure about that?

    I'm getting about 9.7 RIs to BGs.

    Edit: And that's for area. Population it's like, 10.5 RIs to BGs.

    I have no idea how I got that number when looking back, I'll blame Google lack of comma use and use of approximations.

    Yeah, I was somewhat skeptical of that number. Maybe for Russia or Canada...

    And Rhode Island is definitely an Imperial unit. Can't argue with that.

    When your answer is off by over two orders of magnitude, you don't get to blame the calculator.

    Well, you could, if it messed up an nth root or something.

    I get to blame a decimal point being interpreted as the thousands point. That or when working with logs; specially when you backtrack and notice that the difference between pH 6 and 9 is an error of... about 1000.

    Yeah, but you could still realize that the area taken up by 7632 Rhode Islands was about 4% of the earth's surface (if I did my math right, which I probably didn't, because life hates me and wants to make me a hypocrite) and Belgium is significantly smaller than that. You can blame a calculator for a miscalculation, but you can't blame it for reporting a miscalculation.
