  • Crosshare, on 07/02/2009, -5/+24Great list other than BMI. BMI is retarded.
  • WunderTroll, on 07/02/2009, -2/+19We need the bury brigade stat.
  • mattisallama, on 07/02/2009, -2/+14BMI is such a load of crap... My health teacher in high school was tall and really muscular and he said he had a BMI of 32 and therefore was extremely obese and in great danger of dying
  • marcb83, on 07/02/2009, -9/+20i've been playing doctor on my self since I was 12
  • inactive, on 07/02/2009, -4/+11That's what I'd do.

    Followed by vigorously and repeatedly confirming my results.
  • JohnInMT, on 07/02/2009, -0/+5.....do what with their symptoms Doc?
  • Crosshare, on 07/02/2009, -1/+6Right... According to BMI, 80% of the NFL is morbidly obese.
  • DarkKnight5590, on 07/02/2009, -0/+3I wonder what the comment said...
  • Trigonometron, on 07/02/2009, -4/+7Buried for BMI, dugg for the rest. So overall, dugg.
  • Anand999, on 07/02/2009, -0/+3"Followed by vigorously and repeatedly confirming my results."

    Regardless of the result?
  • serif69, on 07/02/2009, -5/+8You'd sort through her checking to see if she's male or female?

  • serif69, on 07/02/2009, -1/+3At first I was like

    :-D

    And then I was like

    >:-(
  • mrpunman, on 07/03/2009, -0/+2I agree

    I have big bones
  • scy1192, on 07/02/2009, -0/+2IIRC, if you lift one leg up, you can put it down quick enough to catch yourself if you feel like you're falling.
  • christoast, on 07/02/2009, -1/+3Tussin

    Whatever it is, pour some tussin on it.
  • renanrrinaldi, on 07/02/2009, -0/+1I'm glad you clarified that.
  • Stiffler, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1FTA: "whether you got at least 15 minutes of laughter and fun time for yourself (Relaxation)"

    Seriously? They're only recommending people get at least 15 minutes of fun time a day? There are clinically depressed/suicidal people who have more fun time than that.
  • mrpunman, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1Where is the bury brigade when you need them?
  • Latigoliath, on 07/02/2009, -1/+2I've been playing doctor with your mom.
  • mbelrose, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1I dugg you up because I empathize, not because I'm glad you don't have health care. Unless you're evil, in which case I'm glad you don't have health care and I hope you get shingles.
  • Mothrog, on 07/03/2009, -1/+1http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/HealthSci/Eatin ...

    I think you've been affected.
  • smackydoodle, on 07/02/2009, -1/+1your mom
  • Ades, on 07/02/2009, -2/+2Raw food is the best!
  • paperclipsNsoup, on 07/02/2009, -1/+1Thats how the pros do it
  • smackydoodle, on 07/02/2009, -4/+3This thread is full of virgins.
  • BDOUG, on 07/02/2009, -2/+1Reminds me of that 2005 movie, "The Island".
  • MrBogard, on 07/02/2009, -2/+1Your comment is redundant.
  • NJRFilms, on 07/02/2009, -11/+10A few OK things in here but the BMI is a ***** joke for anyone who is actually healthy and goes to the gym.

  • zephc, on 07/02/2009, -4/+2"3: Raw foods"

    Richard Wrangham might argue with you about that: http://www.amazon.com/Catching-Fire-Cooking-Made-H ...
  • bicyclethief, on 07/02/2009, -6/+3Hey ladies, I make house-calls...
  • ghall, on 07/02/2009, -5/+1If any attractive ladies need help with number 13, I'm always available.
  • daze144, on 07/02/2009, -7/+3I don't have a doctor because I don't have heath care.
  • MrBogard, on 07/02/2009, -5/+1Ok, fatty.
  • christoast, on 07/02/2009, -8/+3I could be a doctor. Get a patient, right down their symptoms, go into the next room and google it.

    Done.
  • ClevelandBrown, on 07/02/2009, -6/+1My lead pipe hurts a little.
  • caramba421, on 07/02/2009, -6/+0Incidentally, that's also how they check if you have drugs up your ass in prison. Multifunctionality FTW!
  • muqas, on 07/02/2009, -18/+12I'd rather play doctor on that woman, if you know what I mean ;)

    (It means I'd sex her)
  • pegothejerk, on 07/02/2009, -10/+4Real doctors just clenched their teeth a little harder as this went to fp.
  • CaptHuggyFace, on 07/02/2009, -8/+2I'm just going to get right to it. I need a close friend to do a full body skin exam on me. I figure we can start with lunch and a stroll through the park getting to know each other, and we'll see where it goes from there. Any takers?
  • damnshoes, on 07/02/2009, -14/+8i like to suck big massive hairy balls but nobody will know because i got buried.
  • im2emo4myshrt, on 07/02/2009, -11/+5Did anyone else kind of wince a little bit when reading the part about checking your nuts.
  • jasontk, on 07/02/2009, -9/+2Oh yeah, if you are 80 years old and might have osteoporosis the best way to check to see if you might be likely to fall over and hurt yourself is to see how long you can balance on one leg. Seriously?? Sounds like a good way to break a hip.
  • jpmonkeycat, on 07/02/2009, -8/+1nice job on the title.
  • wicki1, on 07/02/2009, -9/+1hmmmmm
  • MiniCooper2007, on 07/02/2009, -10/+2These comments suck.
  • inactive, on 07/02/2009, -10/+1Hot barf.
