| I read in an old issue of reader's digest - this woman experimented by locking herself up in a special room under the ground, where she is entirely disconnected to the outside world, and have nothing to measure time. The results, as far as I could remember is - she slept longer hours, her monthly period came late, and her waking hours are shorter, and she have a longer time in between meals. Talk about a screwed biological clock! |

| This has experiment has been conducted more than once by researchers on sleep and circadian rhythms ... I think the human cycle settles in at about 26 or 28 hours in the absence of time-determining stimuli ... |

Now to SERIOUS questions...
If you choke a smurf, what colour does he turn?
Is a snail without a shell naked or homeless? |

It's interesting that our biological clock seem to be using a 26-28 hours system but we adopted a 24 hour system for measuring time. That is major screw-ness, lol! |

Have you ever seen a smurf? If not, how do you know they don't exist?

why is grey the chosen colour for DPC's background?
Isn't white (or black) a nicer colour? ;) |

Do you think the earth is in the exact same orbit it was millions of years ago? Do you think the earth is orbiting just as fast? Do you think the Rotation of the earth is ging the exact same speed? Do you think the moon is the same distance away? How do you think those things might effect gravity and the density of the earth? Is the Earth the exact same size it was millions of years ago? If the Earth was a different size, rotating at a different speed, with a different orbit around the much younger sun (do you think the Sun's density has remained exactly the same over millions of years too) isn't it perhaps possible the length of a day has changed too?
Do you think that's air your breathing? ;)

It's a neutral color and is less straining on the eyes than a higher contrast look. Plus it gives equal contrast to all photos.
Staring at a white or black screen will make your eyes less sensitive to highlights or shadows respectively.

Why don't DPC have crazy days and make their backgrounds Pink with Purple polka dots and give the ribbons to the 3 lowest place getters...just for fun?

It depends on who makes the porridge...Papa Bear, Mama Bear or Baby Bear!! Now you all know that men cannot stir boiling water and talk on the phone at the same time...so their porridge certainly won't taste the same as ours. Hmm...I could tell you a story about KFC coleslaw...but I don't want to turn you off your dinner.

Or that what you see as blue doesn't appear to everyone else as what you think of as pink?
Are we all just caught up in each others' dreams? |

I've been wondering of the same thing when I was younger. I mean, how do you know if everyone is seeing the same thing, eventho we all call it with the same term: eg, I see the world in colours, while you may be seeing the world in negative colours - but we both agree that trees are "green", roses are "red" and violets are "blue". |
