  1. Like on those fitness commercials...they'll say something like "Turn that
    fat into muscle".

    but is this really possible? Can i turn the fat thats in my stomach now
    into muscle for my arms? fat doesnt have protein, does it?

    just something i thought about today while doing situps.. I usually weight
    lift...do situps..then lift some more...

    I never understood the whole "turn fat into muscle" [censored]. To build muscle
    you need protein and other stuff in your diet.

    If you lose fat and gain muscle (and weight stays approximately the same),
    then in the grand (non-pedantic) scheme of things you have in essence
    changed your fat into muscle. Easy to do when you first get off you cheese
    doodle butt.
    It really would be turning fat into muscle if ATP created by fat oxidation
    was then used to fuel the production of new muscle. Okay, while this it is
    not technically correct (and believe me I am as much a technical guy as
    anyone), I think most people understand what is meant when someone says
    that. They can be corrected once they realize that you are only trying to
    set them correct rather than hammer them for something akin to a spelling
    lame.
    Now if you could figure out why every new poster on the freaking planet
    thinks lose is spelled loose, you could win the Nobel Prize in something!

    It is all to do with the generally poor levels of education,
    particularly in English language. This can perhaps be attributable to
    varying versions of English, particularly American and Australian
    English, which dilute the original and cause confusion, particularly
    in the use of computers worldwide which use American English as the
    default.

    Of course it may also be due to the popularity of the shorthand
    gobbledygook that is used on mobile telephones.

    No, but you can turn those small letters at the beginning of your
    sentences into Capitals with just 2 months of "English as a second
    language" training.

    Guess you don't really need that skill to push a button at McyD's
    though, do you now?

    They keep him away from the registers. He's more a "fry-o-lator type"
    guy.
