The Blood-Out: Time to Freeze It then Melt it!

[Tassadar]

Paying for any PC game would be silly.

Unless it's a multiplayer game which are a PITA to play online.

[Sprung]

Wouldn't worry about that, Sprung hates fighting games with a passion.

And is rather ignorant of them.

I suspect much fun could be had with some assistance from our yoyo using, teddy bear wielding friend.

I hate a lot of things.
Especially you.

Your eyes say "no", but the top of your head says "rest your drinks here"

[Tassadar]

Bog, the bog, bog land, tree's that dies zillions of years ago become peat and you cut the peat into rows and then you dry it out and it becomes turf, you burn turf to stay warm.

Or something like that.

Ya big culchie.


We just buy peat briquettes here because there are no bogs near enough our house.

I'd make a joke about the top of your head, but whenever it's close, my eyes are usually closed.

[Tassadar]

Not really. Swamps are another type of wetland. It's a similar situation.

Some bogs would probably even smell better, seeing as bogs aren't typically conductive to a lot of large organisms. Or small organisms for that matter (the major identifying feature for bogs aside from the presence of peet is acidity)

They are fantastic for preserving things too, dead bodies and honey have been found in them.

Not just dead bodies, dead bodies from a couple centuries back (with a hell of a lot predating the common era) that happen to still be gooey.

Jurassic Park: Fuck amber. Just find a post glacial bog

I know you get scared whenever we play airplane, but you have to realize I won't drop you. It's safe to open your eyes.

I knew that actually, although I didn't know they could be that old only a few hundred years.

Some of the ones discovered in your neck of the woods are from about 500 BCE. It's not that uncommon to find corpses from 1000 BCE, since a couple have turned up in eastern europe.

There's records of some from 8000 BCE popping up. Fucking nature, why can't we harness that shit? Ziplock ain't got nothing on that.

Yeah, I only heard of Medieval bog bodies so the thought of older bodies just never occured to me.

I used to know the reason for the preservation of things something like the fungi and bacteria which are generally involved in decomposition (some found in your own body) don't have favourable conditions to thrive, although that begs the question why does the acidity not destroy the remains.

Haha its not even mine, Helping the uncle, not to bad though cuz we're bringing it home, I'm hoping it starts raining soon so we cant go.

[Fer!]

Now I see why you US people hate Gamestop.

My girlfriend's brother went to TX yesterday so I asked him if he could get me a Green Day Rock Band for the Xbox, told him it was new for 20 bucks, gave him the money.

He just got back and gave me a CD sleeve with the game, the tag on it says New.

How in the name of the fuck can that be a NEW game if they only gave him a fucking CD sleeve?

WHY THE FUCK HE DIDN'T ASK 'WHY YOU'RE NOT GIVING ME THE CASE AND THE MANUAL'?

Now I don't have the Export key, and I'm fucking angry.

[Fer!]

One more thing.

Best Buy lists the game in their webpage as 19.99 but he claims it was 35 when he checked.

They have different prices if you buy from the page or something?

Mostly because the acid isn't quite acidic enough for that (complex organisms are generally more resistant to acidic and basic environments than microorganisms, but the tradeoff there is that temperatures become a bigger issue). And it'd be kind of hard to do that to the human body being that it's pretty acidic anyway (hell, our DNA is made of acid. The stuff that makes our cells? Acid. Protein? Amino Acid chains. There's a reason you're constantly leaking the stuff).

As for how the preservation works, you're pretty much right. It's hard for stuff to live in the peet, and even if it can, there's loads of other stuff to snack on with no competition. About the only bacteria involved in bog decomposition is the stuff that happens to live inside you anyway, and even that can't go nuts/thrive in some of those conditions. Worse yet if you get buried in winter, at which point your body has become a massive acid sponge before it's warm enough for the bacteria to go to town.

After you help him he's going to turf you out of his house.
