Well, hell, she wouldn't even be an SS member, she'd be some dumb kid with a bunch of symbols and pulling the act. Like some kid running around calling herself Baroness from Cobra.

Anyone happen to know what the impact resistance of a riot face shield is? I just started reading a comic that shows a character reliably shattering them in a single punch, and I'm wondering if this should tell me that he's super strong, or if it's within the range of human strength.

with his fist? He's super strong
I've seen riot shields take rubber bullet shots.

Thought as much, just wondered, thanks.

Why is 30° Celsius in the Air TOO HOT but 30° Celsius Water is TOO COLD for comfortable being in?

The simple answer is that A is slightly incorrect and B is correct.

Normal body temperature is 37° Celsius. The body is basically a heat generator, so we need some way to radiate the heat away.

In the water, water easily transfers heat away from the body. It is in fact very good at that. So us not wrapped in a layer of fat animals in the water loose our body heat rapidly. Note also that this is done througout the body where all those "I'm hot/cold" nerves are.

In the air, transfer just doesn't happen (as much as we would like it to happen). The result is that you need to activate your evaporative coolers to transfer that heat (in other words sweat). Here it's not the temperature, it's the temperature - humidity index. The drier the air, the easier it is for people to cool off by sweating. In addition this occurs on only a small part of the body so most of the "I'm hot/cold" nerves only notice that the process is or is not working.

So that's why it can be really hot in Arizonia and you don't think it is as hot as it was in Miami where it was actually cooler but humid as all hell.

Because water has a high specific heat and air has a low specific heat. Raising a cubic centimeter of water 1 degree takes a bit over 4 joules. Raising a cubic centimeter of air 1 degree takes about one thousandth of a joule.

The human body has two constraints it lives under. The first is that as mammals we live under heat excess and constantly need to bleed heat to keep from overheating. The second is that as mammals certain heat minimums are required to keep things from falling apart.

So 30 degrees of Air isn't a lot of heat absorbance, and we overheat. 30 degrees of Water is just shy of four thousand times than potential heat absorbance and it can cool you off to the point of hypothermia.

Hmm, ok, thanks. Both of you.

OK, while reading the Epic Spell Casting Thread In My (not so) Humble Opinion, i found another one . .

If you[sic] DM doesn't approve

WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN DAMN IT? <.<[/u]

"[sic]" is a tag you put into a direct quote to acknowledge a typographical error and claim that it was like that in the original source material. It's from Latin, where it means "in this manner". The idea is that it should have been "your DM" but they are quoting it verbatim so the typo stays.

Its used both to disclaim responsibility for mistakes in quoted text and to draw attention to them for the purpose of mockery.

I don't have anyplace else I can feel comfortable asking this question:

Do taller women tend to have larger vaginas than shorter women, or would it be roughly the same? I split up with my GF a month ago and I'm just curious (I have always had trouble finding mating partners who fit, but I also tend to date women who are shorter than average. I'm wondering if a change might be good in this case).

It's my understanding that women who have born children have more stretchy vaginas. Does that qualify as bigger?

Count Arioch the 28th · Wed May 04, 2011 2:28 pm

I guess that counts, but after dating 2 different single mothers I'm disinclined to try it again. I'm not saying that there aren't great single mothers out there that I haven't found (2<30 and my sampling wasn't random, after all), but I AM saying that they were both unpleasant women and I don't have time for that in my life right now.

When you say bigger, do you mean longer? I could see height factoring into length, but only if the torso is longer. I think a lot of height variation in people comes from leg length and not torso length.

And I also have no clue what I'm talking about and I'm just guessing based on a limited knowledge.

Count Arioch the 28th · Wed May 04, 2011 2:48 pm

Longer is more what I'm asking, that's a valid point. It seems that I have issues with overpenetration when I'm performing and having her cry out in pain really kills the mood (which is probably a sign that I'm normal, but still).

RobbyPants · Post by **RobbyPants** » Wed May 04, 2011 3:12 pm

I suppose there's always trying less penetrative positions, but that could be annoying, too.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Wed May 04, 2011 3:18 pm

Let her be on top.
She can control it then AND she has to do most of the work. BONUS!

Count Arioch the 28th · Wed May 04, 2011 3:33 pm

I have also had bad experiences with women in general being on top too. Mostly involving her climaxing, getting tired, then collapsing on me, changing the whole angle and preventing me from getting anywhere.

It is possible you are looking for the wrong data point. Women's vaginas get bigger with arousal. I mean, they're not infinite, but they'll stretch pretty damn far, and unless you're really, truly, insanely big, that might be a decisive factor. From experience I have observed that even after arousal begins and a girl gets interested in penetration, they have some ways to go yet before arousal gets to the practical limit... just like a guy can be neither fully "soft" nor fully "hard". But if you have tried everything, then yes, go ahead and move up a size, as it were... but keep in mind, it's no guarantee.

Count Arioch the 28th · Wed May 04, 2011 7:22 pm

From what my research has told me, width goes pretty far (i mean, the primary function of the organ is to do so if health class in 10th grade was accurate

), it's depth that is the limiting factor.

I am probably the only guy that would say this, but if a penile reduction surgery existed, I would get one. It really is a hindering factor.

Awesome... I mean they aren't infinitely large but they do come close, apparently. Best post ever.

Also on a similar note, based on the idea of infinity, is there an actual volume limitation to Black holes? If we say that the universe is constantly expanding and being born, and we also say that Black holes within our universe also take up/suck in infinite volume, then how the fuck does that work?
