Heres a question. When you get too drunk and the room starts spinning, do you think the spinning of the room changes depending on which hempsphere of the globe you are on? i have been wondering this question for a long time.
I've never found a room to spin either. Maybe Canadians and Australians are really long lost cousins? I have, however, found rooms to suddenly become very sideways, a situation that is usually not remedied until the next morning. -Nate
I like the fact that however many times I get drunk and fall over, that first moment of horizontality always feels like it's not me that's suddenly moved at a 90 degree angle but the rest of the world.
when ive had far too much to drink, everything spins from left to right, but on an upwards angle. When that happens, you know the day after is gonna suck. Even closing your eyes or laying down doesnt help, just as bad.
In Texas, rooms spin, but farm roads go all sideways. Found that out when I was 18, on NYE. I stopped and watched it be sideways for quite a while, and didn't drive any more until it was back horizontal again. Cherie ;-)
I think it might be high time for a round of the Philosophers Drinking Song!! OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh (pauses to take a breath) Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable Heidegger Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table David Hume could out consume Wilhelm Frederich Hegel And Wittigenstein was a drunken swine who was just as sloshed as Schelgel There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya 'bout the raising of the wrist Socrates himself was permanently pissed John Stuart Mill, of his own free will after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill Plato they say, could stick it away Half a crate of whiskey every day Aristotle Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle Hobbes was fond of his dram And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart "I drink therefore I am!!" Yes Socrates himself is particularly missed A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed! Yay!! Rock on Eric
Here's another question: Why does an underage kid from the USA care about the drinking habits of people half a world away?
Whether it happens or not is beside the point. The point is TB was not created to facilitate or enable this kind of behavior. Right back at you.
A mildly amusing thread about the possible effects of drinking in the southern hemisphere isn't allowed in the off topic forum? I had no idea...
Well, you're the mod and you just said that 'TB was not created to facilitate or enable this kind of behaviour', I assumed it was a precursor to closing the thread?
