Re: \"The Nuts\" - Andy Block vs. Lie Detector.
Throwing cards at bananas, rock-scissors- paper, Hellmouth vs. Norman Chad telling lies, Indian poker, Bloch vs. the Machine…all these are just freaking worthless.
Rather than subjecting us to this crap, ESPN ought to spend more time telling us stack size, blind amounts, where the button is currently positioned and showing us more hands that end on the flop or turn, rather than this freaking all-in festival the WSOP broadcasts have become. The WSOP is dead to me. I spit on its bones...can't wait for the Main Event.

Re: \"The Nuts\" - Andy Block vs. Lie Detector.
I didn't even read what that guy said, but I'm pretty sure Penn does not smoke at all. He said he's never smoked or drank any type of drug in his life.

[ QUOTE ] Actually, the lie detector got every question right. The 4-5 was merely Andy's score and was completely independent of the lie detector. He wasn't actually competing against the lie detector. [/ QUOTE ] That can't be right, since Andy got the first two wrong. [/ QUOTE ] And in the score, the lie detector started off 2-0 and andy started off 0-2. What's your point / what's the relevance?

I said that he used his forum on "bullshit" (which otherwise was a great show) to state that no one had proven second hand smoke had health consequences on the people subjected to it. In my opinion, he let his own habit dictate the content of the show. So "Bullshit" became bullshit.

However, I'm fairly willing to trust the NIH on this one and they estimate that about 1 percent of people dying from tobacco smoke die not from primary cigarette inhalation, but from second hand smoke. Given how awful cigarette smoke is for you (there's a solid tome of scientific literature corroborating that one) and that cigarette smoke can have 400 chemicals including 20 known carcinogens (as well as oxygen-robbing carbon monoxide), I don't think it's unreasonable to say cigarette smoke is unhealthful to a serious extent. You aren't a smoker perchance, are you? I've definitely seen addiction undermine reason and consistently so with nicotine addiction. The use of nicotine causes addiction in more cases than any other known psychoactive substance.
