Question: Can one live without Food?

Short Answer: No.

Long Answer: “The answer actually depends on the person’s body, state of mind, willpower, body weight when beginning the process, rate of hydration (or dehydration) and climate.”

After 4-6 weeks one is looking to really mess themselves up if they don’t eat food.

Advise: Eat food and don’t fast longer than 40 days (I personally know somebody who has done this fast twice and no there name isn’t Jesus).

Dumb Question

Question: Can one live without WordPress?

Short Answer: Depends.

Long Answer: If you are one of 211,449 bloggers then no.  Of course there are probably not 211,449 actual bloggers because personally I have 3 active blogs.  How many do you have?  If the average is 3 blogs per blogger then there are actually only 70,483 bloggers.  Let’s round the world population up to 7 billion (we are not there yet but by the time you finish this post we may have met that figure).  This means that 6,000,929,517 people can live without WordPress.com.

Advise: WordPress is for the select few, so make the most of it.

A Christmas Story

Posted by Gryphon on March 1, 2009

Following the post about the death of American Radio Icon Paul Harvey, I went out doing a little Web Research.

I came up with this YouTube bit done by the man himself in his own inimitable style.

Enjoy.
