    ATOT Marathoners (or half-marathon runners)

    I did a quick search and didn't find an "unofficial" marathon/half-marathon thread. Anyway, if you've done either one, do chime in! I'd love to share training tips or even get some motivation from my fellow runners. I have ran 3 marathons and 3 half-marathons now. PR'd two marathons but I...

    "Natural" and "Acquired" Accents

    If you were born elsewhere (e.g., let's say somewhere in Essex County, England), grew up there, then relocated to another county or even a different country (e.g., let's say West Texas, USA), would it be weird, after living in the USA for a while, to acquire the local accent? (It also doesn't...

    Lactose Intolerant ATOTers -- Quick Q.

    I saw your posts here re: lactose intolerance. I was wondering if you guys have ever heard of this "cure"? Apparently, it's not a temp supplement and they claim that after taking the product for 38 days, your body should be able to digest lactose-filled foods properly... Just wondering if...

    Mathematicians, Logicians, or other smart people...

    Sorry for the eBaums link. It's the ESP "script" that I can't figure out. Can you explain how that works, pretty please? (And how it's always correct despite the number you chose)... Thanks in advance!

    Are prophecies viable?

    I did a quick search and didn't find a topic similar to this. In any case, this idea came from this thread. If you do not believe time travel will ever be possible, do you think that certain people can look into the future and make prophecies? (e.g., seers) And I don't mean look into the...

    Donated my hair

    Has anyone else done this? Yesterday, after having long hair for 5+ years, I had it cut short and donated at least 11" worth of hair to Locks of Love. It's weird having short hair again, but it certainly brings a smile to my face, knowing that a kid with alopecia areata will be able to...

    A stolen joke

    Always get a second opinion. The doctor said, "Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press on your spine, and the pressure creates one hell of a headache...

    Anyone else watching "Distraction"?

    Distraction info. I thought it was pretty funny. The host is ok, but the "distractions" are silly and funny, IMHO. The comments by the host are pretty funny, too. Anyone else watched/watching it? :D
