Post your random thoughts.

: Bother that nonsense; I was half-kidding anyway. :P I basically just need to get out of the dorm.

I wish I were a science nerd.

Science doesn't go backwards too much, as far as I know. Science nerds don't need to know much about Carl Gauss. But due to Naturphilosophie making a comeback, I have to know about Lorenz Oken.

I wonder how many people have problems with being underweight vs. being overweight.

Because I'm in the former category, which is apparently weird.

: Two of my closest friends are rather underweight. One of them went through a gym phase where he put protein powder in everything in an attempt to bulk up, and one of them just tries not to forget to eat.

Being underweight's not going to bring a ton of problems unless you have an eating disorder or you're anemic.

Overweight on the other hand is far worse.

Not really.

I honestly have no clue as to my weight situation.

Look at all these overweight people!

In other news, BMI is terrible. That doesn't make obesity healthy :/

Well, now I have a reason to leave. This thread is gonna go baaaaaad places.

Nor does it make it unhealthy. That would be one strange logical leap.

Now, now, enough with the Hollywood Pudgy.

I have a Forgets to Eat problem, myself. Preparing and eating food bores me.

It's kind of amusing/sad to think that dieters and medical authorities rely on a system that regularly produces Hollywood Pudgy results.

I want more RPG's with dogs. And the dogs are characters. But they don't speak. No talking dogs. Dogs can be characters without talking.

Just look at Barkspawn or Mouse.

Reminds me of Tealin's criticism of the clouds short that came before the feature in theaters for Up. She said that the story was fine without adding a bunch of emotion sound-effects, something to that effect.

Why dogs?

I know that the standards now are pretty broken, but there's still a point where it's unhealthy.

I know there's an RPG with rabbits...

In some cases, most certainly. And of course there are the purely physical effects to consider, although I'm sure a fat person would have more intimate understanding of them.

is it based on Watership Down Do the rabbits speak?

Rotwieller is from the left side of my brain.

@Aoede: Because I love my dog, I love Mouse, and I love Barkspawn.

Clearly, more dogs are the answer.

Alternatively, other animals acting like dogs is dull.

Alternatively, a cat would just be like, "Pft? Monsters? You take care of them. I'm sleepin."

Other animals would actually be fine, if they acted like other animals.

is it based on Watership Down

It is

Pfaha, what a cheesy name.

@ Lucky: I could have sworn that was a trope.

@Tzetze: I was first exposed to Bunnies & Burrows via a PARANOIA module.

All Animals Are Dogs

There used to be this weird compulsion of game designers to play off of the alliterative «Dungeons & Dragons». Glad that's over

^^...what

It gets a namedrop in Orcbusters.

Or maybe the spell messes up and everyone gets turned into rabbits! Hey! Ever played Bunnies & Burrows? Now there's a Role-Playing Game!
