cats and dogs will drink milk by the gallon given half a chance, so it becomes a choice thing. Maybe if other species had the ability and ease of access to a carton of milk,, maybe they would indulge too...Wish I could agree with the whole "milk is good for ya thing" ... but I just can't. Humans are the only species that drink milk after they've been weaned. Not to mention that we're the only species strange enough to drink milk from other creatures... Giving up milk is not gonna hurt ya. =) In fact, it may help!
I didn't read the whole thread, sorry... I could only get so far.

PastaKing said:My body fat jumped up to 20%. Why? I asked a trainer and he said it is because I am benching heavy. He said the fat is bulk muscle.
PastaKing said:c) You no longer have to bench your body weight. You don't even have to bench half of your body weight. You only need to lift 56% and it is on a machine, not free weight.
I'm way too sober to figure these out!
Fat is not bulk muscle, or any other kind of muscle. You might have gained some weight from power lifting from muscle development - but lifting isn't going to develop/create body fat.
The last time I took a math course - half of my body weight was 50%, 56% is actually 6% MORE weight than half my body weight! And, if I remember my training right - a pound of free weights weighs the same as a pound of machine weight.
... As for the fat %, I even went up in weight. I'm almost 210 now. I don't get it, I am lifting more then I ever have, I am running faster and longer then ever before and I cut the carbs like crazy and stay away from junk food. The only thing I can think of is what the trainer said. I am gaining bulk muscle and some how that is fat, but a good kind of fat.
yea......i donnoo
Today was the day. I should have taken a few pics to post here but was way to nervous to think about anything but the test. The line was really really long to get in. It was held at a high school here in Philly, and the line went from the door, down the steps, across the yard and around 2 or 3 blocks. There must have been 7000 people easy. I know they are looking for a lot of cops, but I really don't know now. Having seen all the people there, I'm sure only the very top will get in because they have so much to pick from. I will be shocked if I get in to be honest. However, I feel like I did really good on the test. I didn't think it was easy. Lots of trick questions, and it turns out the PE part isn't until later, so I have even more time to train.
What kind of trick question? Here is one I remember: "To get a warrant a police officer has to give the judge sworn statements, and provide facts of probable cause. Joe cop goes before the judge with probable cause and asked for a warrant."
A-Joe will get the warrant
B-Joe will not get the warrant
c-Need more info
On this question I said "need more info". If you really look, you see that Joe asked for the warrant, but the question never says he has a sworn statement of facts. It just says that he asked.
Lots of little trick questions like that all over the test.
I should know how I did over the next few weeks. I will keep you all posted.
