Just Wondering

Just wondering...

Do atheists cry out 'oh my god' in bed?

Like a jet plane or a feather.

Hsoohw.

Nope... I'm A+ blood type. We're not a match. :-P~~~~~~~~~~

JW if BT garnered the attention of certain guys with that post.

Yuk, yuk, yuk! :-D

I can only offer O Pos. I’m not the universal donor, but that ain’t gonna stop me from making that O a positive one.

Mrs G and I both have AB-i think that it’s .approximately .6 in a hundred. It’s a pain

Do we need to bring in Dr. Seuss and say "one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish...?"

:-D

I must be getting old. In my day, an A+ got you a pony. A B- got you a "try harder".

Rarer blood types are in more demand than common blood types... It is a simple commerce answer. You're welcome

;-)

"The idea that pork is "white meat" is allegedly the result of a marketing campaign by the industry, but has little basis."

Yup. It's red meat by definition. The pork industry says that because today's US commercial pork is leaner than that of years ago and when cooked, many cuts, especially loin chops are as white as most fish and the light meat of most domestic poultry.

FWIW, I knew of hemoglobin but I only knew about myoglobin because my aunt was a researcher in the "blood" department at a major university. To me, blood is blood but I've been told that I have A+ blood while Mrs. G only has AB-. I figure I have a higher grade than her.

On Topic: JW with grades like that, why there's a higher demand for her than for me around here.

Red…white… Can’t we all just get along?

Well now here comes something to gum it all up...

The USDA considers all meat from mammals (including pigs) to be "red meat", and all meat from birds, fish and reptiles to be "white meat".

The idea that pork is "white meat" is allegedly the result of a marketing campaign by the industry, but has little basis.

Other meats however which definitely seem to be red, like raw tuna, or other fish like salmon which are clearly not "white" remain classified as "white" nonetheless.

Someone I talked to online years ago would joke says she was having cat for lunch on her break at work. Indeed, more than likely the white meat in her meals were chicken. But, this also brings up the question, are cats and dogs red meat or white meat?

For land based dinosaurs, it is consievable that they were red meat. For flight based dinosaurs, it is consievable that they were white meat.

To be clear, I was just having fun with the red meat vs. white meat "controversy".

That said, I've had the discussion elsewhere, usually IRL/face-to-face, with people about chicken and turkey having both "red" and white meat.

Trying to explain that chickens and turkeys have "dark" white meat and "light" white meat NOT light red meat and white meat is like trying to talk to certain people over in the Politics threads.

You (VA) probably have those people blocked. I don't mind making their heads hurt and letting them get upset with me.

Is dinosaur red meat or white meat? I'd lean toward white meat and I suspect that dinosaur would taste like alligator which, to me, tastes like fishy chicken.

On Topic: JW what a local Chinese restaurant (that was recently shut down by the health department) used to put in their #7. I couldn't tell if it was light red meat or dark white meat. Pretty sure it wasn't dinosaur or alligator and I've never knowingly eaten cat or dog.

Just wondering: Can I ride my seguway on the parkuway?

BT-uway

We've gone from 'shitty' conversation to dinosaurs... A nice seguway!

:-D

And the puppeteer successfully derails the conversation. Evil laugh

Well, my statement shouldn't have been taken to be authoritative, but given how all living relatives of "dinosaur" dinosaurs are also white meat, it seemed reasonable to me to that they also would be.

However.

Upon googling this it seems that the answer isn't that cut and dry, and that some, shall we say, "energetic" dinosaurs like T. rex would likely have had significant red meat, according to some experts.

But this is certainly not universal. A Smithsonian article believes T. rex would be "white meat" similar to that of modern birds, albeit probably darker, more like a goose or a duck.

Whatever. My non-expert assessment is that as a general statement, dinosaurs were white meat, but there were probably some exceptions.

And yes, I understand that reptiles have a lower myoglobin level than mammals. But has anyone ever checked a dinosaur other than modern day birds...?

" "Would dinosaurs be white meat or red meat?"

White meat.

You eat dinosaurs. We all do. Well, non-vegetarians do. We know them as birds.

Birds are feathered dinosaurs."

Well I'm no expert but.... while all birds can be considered dinosaurs, not all dinosaurs are in the same clade as birds.

My understanding of the difference between red and white meat is attributed to myoglobin. For a particular meat to be considered red, the amount of myoglobin is high enough in a fresh meat to cause it to have a deep red color prior to being cooked.

While all poultry is considered white meat, I can assure everyone that the flesh of many freshly killed birds (wild waterfowl for example) are significantly darker red than that of beef and some of the other meats (pork, veal, etc.) that are technically classified as red meat by the USDA

Yes, I know, pork is the other "white meat" according to certain sources.

I dunno, maybe it depends on which clade the dinosaur belongs to, or some expert knows the myoglobin content of the particular species of dinosaur on your table. Although they're a biped like birds, I've heard (but can't confirm) that Tyrannosaurus Rex roast is a bit more red and "gamey" than Stegosaurus steak.

Just sayin'...

"Would dinosaurs be white meat or red meat?"

White meat.

You eat dinosaurs. We all do. Well, non-vegetarians do. We know them as birds.

Birds are feathered dinosaurs.

I'm completely serious.

Ok, since Sorillo brought up dinosaurs, I'll ask this... Would dinosaurs be white meat or red meat?

We're talking about prank poop, zoo shit, giving or not giving a shit, taking shits, knowing your shit and trying to figure out is your shit stinks or not. Adding dinosaurs to the shit conversation just makes me think of Jeff Goldblum's line from Jurassic Park, "now that is one big pile of shit!" The shit has hit the fan and it is going to be a train wreck soon... :-D

Fresh would require you to have a live dinosaur on hand.
