Why does a moon rock taste better than an Earth rock? It’s a little meteor.

How much do rainbows weigh? Not much. They’re actually pretty light.

A slice of apple pie costs $2.50 in Jamaica, $3.75 in Bermuda, and $3 in the Bahamas. Those are the pie-rates of the Caribbean.

What's the difference between spring rolls and summer rolls? Their seasoning.

I can always tell when someone is lying. I can tell when they're standing too.

I found a book called How to Solve 50% of Your Problems. So I bought 2.

[TD]In 1851, German physician Carl Wunderlich conducted a thorough experiment to determine the average human body temperature. In the city of Leipzig, Wunderlich stuck a foot-long thermometer inside 25,000 different human armpits, and discovered temperatures ranging from 97.2 to 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The average of those temperatures was the well-known 98.6 degrees — aka the number you hoped to convincingly exceed when you were too “sick” to go to school as a kid. For more than a century, physicians as well as parents have stuck with that number, but in the past few decades, experts have started questioning if 98.6 degrees is really the benchmark for a healthy internal human temperature.

For one thing, many factors can impact a person’s temperature. The time of day, where the temperature was taken (skin, mouth, etc.), if the person ate recently, their age, their height, and their weight can all impact the mercury. Furthermore, Wunderlich’s equipment and calibrations might not pass scientific scrutiny today. Plus, some experts think humans are getting a little colder, possibly because of our overall healthier lives. Access to anti-inflammatory medication, better care for infections, and even better dental care may help keep our body temperatures lower than those of our 19th-century ancestors.

In 1992, the first study to question Wunderlich’s findings found a baseline body temperature closer to 98.2 degrees. A 2023 study refined that further and arrived at around 97.9 degrees (though oral measurements were as low as 97.5). However, the truth is that body temperature is not a one-size-fits-all situation. For the best results, try to determine your own baseline body temperature and work with that. We’re sure Wunderlich won’t mind.[/TD]

I wonder if age isn't a factor as well. My kids run a little hotter and I'm sure it's due to metabolism. I'm guessing a higher metabolism is indicative of the body working hard and therefore creating heat as a byproduct.

Ever heard of the meat sweats? While that is specific to eating a high amount of protein in a short time period, it is still the increased metabolic rate that is responsible for a higher body temperature.

I summarize that a higher metabolism creates a higher temperature whether your doing anything or not. Exercising, eating or even thinking can increase metabolism and therefore body temperature.

And let's not forget those other internal processes that increase body temperature due to metabolism. Illness, pregnancy, hormone changes, and muscle fatigue. These are all examples of the body working overtime to metabolize something extra or something that doesn't belong.

Sorry for the oration. I fell asleep after work today. Just needed a nap before fixing dinner ... Didn't make it. I woke up after everyone went to bed. The night before was filled with watching tornadoes and texting my brother when to go to his shelter when his power went out. We had several close calls that night in our area.

So, good morning!?!

I'm not sure I have ever thanked you for it, but you do a bang-up wonderful job of making sure that everyone who needs it gets consoled an' sich. I'm not anywhere as good at it as you are, and I'm glad that you do it. You're as good a reason as any explaining why this thread rocks and the others . . . don't. It reminds me of 2002 here. No, this is more gooder. Anyway, thank you very much.


I owe you a sammich.

Believe it or not it's an honor,and a privilege to chat and be in the company of everyone here. Some new, some more mature, some newer to the thread. Everyone's just trying to fit in. And eventually those that stay, or keep periodically returning realize they don't have to impress anyone To fit in, or enjoy the room they just have to be themselves. No fake facades but who they actually are, sharing who and what interests them without judgement.

Which is EXACTLY why our thread works! 😘💋✨️💗

This is accurate. When I worked, I didn't much care about the hour to hour temps as long as the other numbers were consistent.

There's a certain sixth sense some nurses develop that alerts them to a patient decompensating. I mostly was concerned with sudden spikes in temp.

Even more importantly, was a dramatic lowering of temp in a septic patient. It told me the patient had used up his army of white blood cell crime fighters and was entering the cold (and lethal) phase of septic shock.
