  • too bad human beings aren’t engines huh?

    Humans are engines. Stop eating and you will lose weight. I didn’t make any claims about health. But you absolutely are an engine. The proof is that if you stop eating, you will die. Different fuels burn differently but you can’t defy the laws of physics.

    Eugenics is the study of improving humans through breeding. You used the wrong word.

    I’m not taking the word of one uneducated author over the overwhelming majority of trained doctors and scientists who all consider obesity to be a medical problem that needs to be treated.














  • I think it’s a reference to cyanide smelling like almonds. In particular I remember a Jodi Foster movie The little Girl who lives down the Lane where Jodi poisons a rapist. He says, “It tastes like almonds.” as he drinks the tea. Jodi Foster says, “It’s the almond extract.” knowing it’s the cyanide.

    So the punchline is setup to be something about poison but gets subverted by the hand grenade.
