Where does lost weight go?

When you breathe, you breathe in oxygen, and breathe out carbon dioxide and water, which are formed as your carbon and hydrogen in the body oxidizes and reacts to oxygen. It is similar to a working engine. A running engine breathes air in, and breathes air with less oxygen, but with exhaust fumes, out. These fumes contain carbon dioxide and water (dihydrogen oxide), and traces of other combustion products such as carbon monoxide. An engine that burns its own fuel "loses weight" as it uses up fuel, and that weight is added to the air. i Adding to i, Think about it. When you drink water, sode, etc., you gain weight. When you urinate, you lose some of that weight. Now the water you drank today might have been the same water that Julius Caesar ****ed away. Since it didn't leave the atmosphere, it was constantly recycled. Now that we have space travel, we are losing some of that measure. Still, something to think about. No space-geeks need R.S.V.P.

FWIW, your question is either a sad commentary on the state of scientific literacy (or, in this case, illiteracy), or a sad commentary on the state of trolldom. GG |

Sir or Maam Can you explain in detail how you move your bowels? Do you use your hands, or do you have a machine? Do you briskly shake them, or slowly rotate them? Is this something that you do for hours, or is it just a quickie one night stand? How often do you partake in this activity? Do you ever achieve orgasm while moving your bowels? When was the last time they moved, and how far did they move? Did they move out of state, or stay in the same neighborhood? We need much more information and detail. LOL! |
