I've spent a good portion of my life in the wilderness. The only animals I've had a problem with are the little ones. I tiny little tic put me in bed for the better part of a month. The cute little furry animals will eat holes in your backpack, tent, or any other unattended gear.
In the entire history of Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National Parks, nobody has been killed by a bear. But the deer? Tourists think they're Bambi, get too close and get a kick in the head. No more tourist.
The park rangers tell people to make noise to scare off bears, but the bears long ago learned that people make noise, but are too afraid to do anything else (try shooting a bear in a national park and see how long it is before you're out of jail), and proceed to plunder your food without paying any attention to you.
Cats are shy of people, I've seen their tracks many times, but have only seen a cat in the wild once. Snakes rely on their camoflauge, and won't coil up and strike unless they are threatened. I.E., if you walk by a snake, it won't do a thing. If you walk straight towards it, that's another story.
Common sense takes care of most animal problems. Unfortunately, common sense is getting pretty rare.

Quote: FleaStiffUsually that is true. Some people have dreams, even nightmares, in which they know they are asleep but are unable to awaken themselves. One man couldn't end his nightmare until his repeated cries of "Wake me up!" finally induced his wife to wake him up.
We can dream of going several rounds with a boxing champion without our spouses waking up black and blue because our muscles are inhibited during REM sleep, but not always.
If people do die early Monday mornings, it might be that they ate a Sunday dinner which induced more dreams or more vivid dreams than usual.
Interesting. . .I have the opposite dream, that it's time to get up for work, and I wake myself up, only to realize it's a dream and the alarm clock hasn't gone off. I go back to sleep, and it happens again. Then I'm dragging all day. It's an even bigger aggrivation when it's a day I'm not working.

Quote: zippyboyActually, I think most bad breath results from simple dry mouth. I'm not talking about halitosis,
Halitosis is bad breath. It comes from bacteria (mostly, the kind that lives on the back sections of the tongue).
Dry mouth helps, and so does keeping the mouth closed (minimizing the oxygen flow).
Quote:Babies don't have bad breath because they drool a lot.
Not really. They don't have it because they don't eat solid foods, thus fewer remnants in their mouths, thus a much less welcoming environment for the bacteria.
Quote:Dogs have bad breath due to eating out of the catbox and dead fish on the beach.
No, simpler than that. They have it because they don't brush their teeth (and tongues). Even if they ate only fresh fish, the stuff that's left from it in their mouths would become as smelly after a few days.

Speaking of halitosis, I have a general question for you all.
I have encountered, as I'm sure ALL of us have, situations in life where I sense someone who has consistent bad breath or halitosis, or even consistently bad body odor. Now the question becomes, is it rude to inform the person of this? I had a friend who not only smelled like her clothes were not fresh but she didn't smell clean and her breath was pretty stanky as well. I had a co-worker who had what appeared to be halitosis and I couldn't help but think, "My god, why is no one telling this person??" yet most of the time I didn't have the guts to tell them. And I guess my lack of courage was due to me fearing that they would get mad at me and deny it. Actually, my last roommate had an odor problem. I couldn't bring myself to tell her cuz I figured she would get defensive. And I now know she would've cuz she told me how she was with a guy intimately and he told her that she had an odor and she basically told me that she told him to fuck off and that he was just smelling himself. But she did say that another guy had told her something similar not long before then, but that she brushed them both off as not knowing what they were talking about. I took this as an opportunity to try to say to her that maybe they were on to something but she wouldn't have any of it. So I didn't press the subject.
Is it rude to tell someone that they have bad odor?
Is it wrong for them to get defensive if you point it out to them?
Should we all just mind our own business?

Medically, olfaction is a fairly good indicator if you don't have much else to go on. Altered metabolism usually means altered microflora even though hygiene can be a primary factor.
Animals often detect odor changes and give warnings if we heed them.
Socially its often best to steer clear since prior bad dental work usually means prior poverty and people tend to shy away from those who are not successful financially as well as socially. Chronic odors usually mean the person has not paid attention to the past subtle hints that others have offered and only means your actions will be futile as well. Even a one night stand will usually not mention morning breath to a woman, but if she sees a glass case in the bathroom with a dozen one-use toothbrushes in it she will undoubtedly realize its there for a reason. Its generally men who are less concerned but even in South America where social distances such as at cocktail parties are so very much less than in America a successful businessman knows to see a dentist quite regularly or its his business dealings that will suffer as well as his bedroom activities.
Madison Avenue tries to convince us that a woman should have glistening white teeth, smell of perfume and cool, freshly ironed bed sheets to men and fresh floral odors or lemon to other females as they dance around the room singing about detergents or how free their husband's shirts are of "ring around the collar".

It is not rude, but be prepared for the consequences.
They will get defensive.
It is our business if the smell is offensive just by being in the proximity of the person.
I had a new employee put into my department that reeked so bad that no one could stand to be around her. I was her supervisor and I had to do something. I arranged a meeting (with witnesses) and gently brought up the problem. I was immediately labeled a racist by her and she stormed out. Luckily for me, she was in a probationary period, failed a random drug test and was terminated. Problem solved.

Used to be, an extremely large proportion of white people used to assume that Af/Am's automatically had body odor, it was a given. That must seem funny to younger people today, as it is clearly confirmed as a myth now that better hygiene is more universally available in the US.

My whole thing is if I smelled or had some sort of odor problem I would HOPE that friends of mine would tell me. I would probably feel slightly embarrassed but would be really thankful that they told me and I would then put in more effort to make sure I did things to smell less.

What goes to 10?
If you are talking about Richter scale, it does not actually have an upper bound (i.e., goes way beyond ten).
9-magnitude earthquake, while definitely bad, is far from a "total destruction" (if total here really means "total"). Last year's Japan earthquake was about 9 points. The one in Indonesia back in 2004 was even stronger - like 9.2 or so. I believe, there was a 9.5 earthquake in Chile in the sixties, that is the strongest I know about. I also know that a 10-point quake was never recorded, but not sure if there is anything in between (i.e., if 9.5 is really the strongest ever).
There were also some prehistoric events, such as Yucatan Impact, that are estimated at about 13-14 points.

Can anyone explain what it means that the Richter Scale is logarithmic?
I think it means that a 9.1 quake is ten times as intense as a 9.0 tremor, but I'm not sure. It seems like a counter-intuitive way to set up a scale.

I think it means that a 9.1 quake is ten times as intense as a 9.0 tremor, but I'm not sure. It seems like a counter-intuitive way to set up a scale.
A quake of magnitude 9.0 has ten times the shaking amplitude of a quake of magnitude 8.0. Likewise a
a quake of magnitude 5.6 has ten times the shaking amplitude of a quake of magnitude 4.6.
The shaking amplitude amplitude of waves measured by a seismograph.
It is a fairly common way to do a scale where proportions are significant. Sound is commonly measured in decibels as well, but instead of adding 1 like the Richter scale to denote a factor of 10, you add 10. A 60 decibel sound has ten times the intensity of a 50 decibel sound. The decibel scale has the added advantage that a 1 decibel sound increase is the smallest change detectable by an average human being.
Also a intensity increase of 10 corresponds to roughly doubling the "loudness" as perceived by human beings. There are all kinds of techniques to put a subjective perception of "loudness" onto a measurable scale.
An earthquake of magnitude 10.0 has not been recorded since the Richter scale was invented in the 1930's, but it has been hypothesized that earthquakes of greater magnitude than this occurred before modern man.
