If the muscular control of urination (and those with greater knowledge of anatomy could better elaborate on the nature of this control) is on the verge of losing said control over urination, how would exercising that same control through another means (i.e. jumping) help to prevent premature urination?

And you refer to PSI, yet your observations are of rate of flow. While the two are related, it seems you are most concerned with the latter, not the former.

Ah, I see:

"The Capital Account, established in 2002-03, helps increase the predictability of capital spending by allowing surplus money in one year to be carried forward to pay for capital projects in future years. Over the last two years, the Capital Account has been used to fund nearly $2.3 billion in capital projects. Over the next three years, the Capital Account is expected to fund an additional $4.6 billion in capital projects."

On an entirely different note, I have performed some experimentation on dynamic urinary physiology. I shall now commence to report to you on my expiremental method and the collected data.

Having had the pleasure of an entire washroom to myself (the one near knowledge common if you must know) I decided that I would make some tests on movement and urine flow. While standing at the urinal I tried bouncing on the soles of my feet, but this didn't affect the PSI of the fluid from the urethra. However, once I tried hopping (jumping only a few centimetres so that my feet were momentarily off the ground) I found that the PSI was not just reduced, but became 0. In fact, while performing the act of jumping, urinary deposition was halted for approximately 2.5 seconds. It seems that one of the muscles required to perform the act of jumping is also used to "block" the pee from exiting male human anatomy. Whether this is also true for our female counterparts has as of yet not been adequately studied. The identity of any volunteers for this research would be maintained in strictest scientific confidence (should they wish anonymity) and their services would be greatly appreciated. Bearing these new findings, I would theorize that should you find yourself in a position in which you're not gonna make it to the urinal, hopping the rest of the way there would be imperative.


Whether or not jumping will also aid in the problem which in scientific jargon is commonly referred to as "prematurely blowing your load" is yet to be investigated. Stay tuned for further findings.


IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE!!!

Capital Account I believe is referring to the money allocated for the infrastructure problems of the province.

But if you're looking for something positive, alison, there's always beer news. (Don't worry, this segue actually makes sense.)

alison, I think you do tell them, if they could foreseeably need you later, though they may not need to know how much you resisted "the idea of them" (?). It may be awkward now, but it could be much more so if they were to come looking to you for that kind of support later.


On another topic, does anyone know what the province's "Capital Account" is about? I was curious what happens to budget surplusses now that the debt is gone, and, according to their budget highlights (pdf),

"Surpluses are no longer required to be set aside for debt repayment. Over the next three years, $5.5 billion from year-end surpluses, and non-renewable resource revenue above the $4.75 billion budget limit, will be reallocated to:

· Capital Account ­ $4.1 billion,
· Heritage Fund ­ $667 million for inflation-proofing,
· Heritage Fund ­ $250 million for the initial allocation to the new advanced education endowment, and
· Medical Research Endowment Fund ­ $500 million."

Alison - I'd only tell them if it was important now that they know, like if they were relying on your further support. Otherwise I'd just let them be delusional. Not outright lying or anything, just letting it be.

how do you tell someone who thinks you've supported them all the way that you actually didn't, and that there may have been a bit more resistance on your part to the idea of them than they ever would've thought possible?

or do you?

Yay, working from 7 to 5!

Good morning everyone!
