    @Ivorythumper this is something, in all my years, that I never thought about.

    Thanks for fulfilling my life.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      It would be nice to imagine the vomit force being due to a rifling action of the neck, but alas, it's just boring ol' gravity.

      Education is extremely important.

        As someone who, presumably, has never had someone literally vomit into your (unmasked) face*, you have no standing to comment in this thread, @Horace.

        *1993, Sunday afternoon, ICU. Yeah, that was more than special.

          On the bright side, it's not the worst way to get acid thrown on your face.

              Can we just agree there are no good ways to have acid thrown on your face?

              Only non-witches get due process.

                Those sorts of extremist views, devoid of nuance, have no place in this discussion.

                      May 9, 2021: The biggest comet in the Solar System is actually a planet. It’s Mercury. Researchers have known for years that Mercury has an enormous tail. Last week, Andrea Alessandrini photographed it from the balcony of his house in Veroli, Italy:

                          That's just damn cool. We tend to assume that, because we can't see things, they don't exist.
