  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Okay gentlemen, here's a question that most will find completely horrible. :)

What might this be?

Mentos on a black surface?
The white areas do not look like holes; They look like dimples!
On the other hand the black surface looks like rubber or Buna N or something similar. Perhaps even a plastic.
But if its biological then it looks like the skin of some weird fish or the surface of a spineless sea urchin.
Now why don't you just tell us what it is?

I honestly don't know what it is tanz.

My best guess was a silicone white and black mat.

I'll find out what is was in a few days.

And yeah, it looks to be man made which isn't my sort of thing. So I'm not sure at all what it might be. :(

Is this some kind of guess-the-picture mailing list you're on? I'm curious, because I like these kind of games sometimes.

(I still say domino :p )

This is now my favorite thread!

All you boys here, let's just say, I'm a fan of you all. :D

Okay. Next question.

What would be the theoretical atmospheric pressure reading in mmHg, somewhere inside a human body, where the skin could no longer contain such intensity, and therefore explode. *lol*

I'm not talking about an overall blood pressure reading of say 5,000 systolic over 4,400 diastolic.

It's more like an anomaly, very specific in region, let's just say in one of your butt cheeks, that would cause this horrific event.

Thank you. :)

Sorry, forgot to mention this in my last post....

Again, please don't report me to the mods here. *lol*
I have a dark pact with our ungodly moderators, there shall be no reporting here :p

As for the pressure, you're probably just get intense bleeding and internal bruising in the area, before the the cracked open and... well...

2:47 onwards... you have been warned :p

The whole series is amazing, and can be found in HD here. Dawkins yay Dawkins!

Sorry, I should have stated my question easier on what I just said, but somehow, my mind began to wonder on all sorts of strange nonsense. *lol*

Basically, what it the atmospheric pressure human skin can contain in mmHg, given perfectly closed pores, before it ruptures into mayhem?

Thank you. :)

I hope you boys don't mind me doing this from time to time...

But what is your best guess as to what this is?

It's a crop of some original image.

It looks like some kind of hand torch, but with the filter at the end, it looks as if water would be coming out, so yeah, I don't know.

Thanks!
