Here's a good question for you... What if sweat tasted sweet?

Posted By: MrBlofeldt Mar 09, 2004 - 01:34 pm

we'd all be licking each other....ughh!

We'd be pestered more by bugs that are attracted to sweets- wasps, bees....

And if I can toss in something only partly on topic, I heard last night that beer was the first recipe. I am skeptical though- I'd have thought that the way to cook meat or root vegetables would have been before that. So I wonder if the so-called fact is not being reported correctly and that it should be the first multiple ingredient recipe or the first recorded recipe.

Nah, beer was invented by Charlie Mops. It says so in an Irish drinking song, so it must be true.

Ah, but if sweat were sweet, then it'd be more worthwhile to exercise, wouldn't it? Well, as long as the insect repellant worked properly...

It would mean that we would have to eat more sweets to make up for sugar lost in sweat.

Posted By: gypsychic Mar 10, 2004 - 09:19 am

Wow, that would be tough.

It would be a cyclical sort of thing for people to help them avoid obesity, and humid areas would seem more pleasant...
It's a fun concept to delve into, isn't it?

aahh.... if only junk food were healthy...

...seems a shame that everything good for you is either green or tastes like donkey poop!!!

Posted By: Aldan Mar 10, 2004 - 01:59 pm

What DOES donkey poop taste like, anyway??
I mean, it sounds like you have experience, for whatever reason...

Considering that right now salt is what we lose, maybe if sweat was sweet we'd all crave salt instead of sugar. Then the standard pms food would cease to chocalate and be something like salt sticks. Wasn't there a scifi story where people went around sucking salt sticks? I can't remember where that came from now, but I bet that was the problem. They were all backwards - sweating sugar and craving salt.

Donkey Poop... staple diet of the....the....er....Outer-Mongolian Moon Baboon, and children who are forced to eat things that are supposedly healthy "as they'll help you grow up big and strong"

Look, I don't want to be big and strong, I want to be weak and feeble and eat chocolate all day, OK...

That's what I should've said to my mum when I was a nipper...too scared.

Incidentally, have you ever eaten Celery ?

Celery...Donkey Poop...same thing!

I have an irrational fear of celery ok, anyone got a problem with that ?

How did we get from water to POOP????

Posted By: MrBlofeldt Mar 12, 2004 - 05:08 am

ah the mysteries of the mind... will we ever understand them?

I'll join you! Whose bringing the chocolate?

Black-eyed peas = poop -> poop is bouyant like ice. If Black-eyed peas covered the ocean floor, we'd all be doomed.
