I weigh 105 lbs and am 5'2. I smoke marijuana about 4-5 times a week. Will it be out of my system in about 18 days?
Clearance of any substance from the body is dependant on the individual taking/ingesting the substance (In your case, smoking/inhaling it) Most examples of clearance given (usually renal or blood clearance) are averages and it should be noted that there are always outliers in these statistics. I could have it cleared out of my system in 5 days depending on my metabolism, your metabolism may be slower and it could take a week or more. Most forums/experts would advise to stay constantly hydrated to help flush your system, this can be achieved by drinking the recommended 2-3L of water a day (depending on the intensity of the daily physical activity you partake in) as well as drinking Green Tea or other "detox" products. The fact you smoke regularly may result in a slightly longer clearance time compared to if you smoked 2-3 times a month.
Were the Beatles racist in the 60’s?
The Beatles were about as pro-black as anyone could be in the 1960s. Most of their musical heroes were black. They refused to play to segregated audiences in the U.S. and would not play South Africa at all on account of apartheid, decades before being anti-apartheid became fashionable. McCartney recorded Band on the Run in Nigeria. Lennon and Harrison had affairs with two of the Ronettes (Ronnie and Estelle, respectively).Larry Kane, a journalist who traveled with The Beatles in the U.S. in 1964 and 1965, heard one of them loudly use an anti-Jewish epithet on their plane, a very crude one. He took the band aside and explained that he was offended by the insensitivity of the remark. They were mortified and sorry he was hurt. They were so mortified, Derek Taylor approached Kane and initially took the blame for it. It never happened again. Brian Epstein, their manager, was of a prominent Jewish family in Liverpool. It was an open secret that Brian was gay. The band members considered Brian to be family, too. Two of McCartney’s three wives were Jewish, as is Ringo’s second wife. Lennon had an affair with actress Eleanor Bron, who was Jewish.John Lennon, at least as far as we know, was not anti-Asian. His bandmates made fun of Yoko Ono’s race, but this may have been out of personal dislike, as none were known to have issues with others.
What is a typical week for a WWE superstar?
You may think this answer starts out in a weird way but bear with me because I think, and this may just be a guess on my part, but I think that you are about to be pleasantly surprised.I will have to go anonymous here, since my employers, regulate and pretty much supervise all of the digital content we put out . For the aforementioned reasons and more, I will not tell you my real name or the moniker I use, and I hope you will be understanding.As any wrestler, my typical week follows a pattern similar to this one:I wake up, usually at 4 or 5 in the morning, go for a run, which distance depends on my physical readiness and recovery. But it is usually no more than 10 kms and no less than 3. Back from the run, I have a hearty breakfast, free of any sugar, which I hate because I have something of a sweet tooth. Hehe.If you believe it, after I am done with breakfast, I hit the gym. It's no secret that we are provided with one of, if not the best performance center and gym ever. So, I refer to my personal trainer whom I will not name either, and he usually trains me for 2 to 3 hours, sometimes 4 hours a day if the session precedes a pay per view. The body part you work on any given day is a cycle that keeps you guessing. Going into my workout, I never know which body part I am supposed to be working on.When we finish working out, we take a little break and then, with my coworkers, we rehearse everything that has to do with the next event. We have match rehearsals, get informed about the winners, losers and test out our lines in the backstage or on-air promotions we are gonna deliver.The process takes anywhere between 4 hours and 8. I know, it sounds like torture, but having coworkers you are actually best friends with, helps a lot.Our job isn't your everyday job. We barely have any days off, we get very little sleep, don't get to see our families that much, we travel a lot and jet-lag is a real bitch to deal with.Our bodies ache for the most part but we do it with a smile. We genuinely love what we do and once you are inside a stadium and when you get to soak in the reactions of a crowd that is happy to be there, all of this fades away, and you can't wait to do it again. I don't know if there were any hints to my identity, but you are welcome to try and find them. ;)
Which rappers have the best complex rhyme schemes?
An interesting question.If you stare down the history of rhymes in music and relate it to the evolution of rap, a beautiful pattern unfolds.What I will do here is list some very intriguing rhymes. What you should understand is that complex rhymes are not exclusive (mostly) to rap artists. Why?Well, because an artist who chooses some very dense rhymes in one song would go easy on some others for better storytelling.Anyhow, some very noteworthy mentions are :Notorious BIG - HypnotiseIt is often said to be the “smoothest rap” song ever. See how he alternates between long and short sentences and also notice the frequency of his rhymes.His laid back delivery makes it all the more gripping. He isn't regarded as the one of the best rappers for nothing.Mos Def - RedefinitionHe hits every note within the bar with a rhyme. This feat is almost impossible to maintain. Take a look.The man hardly ever cursed and he often probed some very sensitive issues with his rhymes.Eminem - Lose yourselfArguably, one of the best rap songs of all time. Look at this complex rhyme scheme.HOLY FUCK ! He also tells a very compelling and touching stories along with these rhymes.What is very interesting is that as he enunciates he often changes the pronunciation to rhyme and that is the clever ingenuity. Let me explain.Consider your words “ whole ” and “ knows ” from the verse. Now ask anyone to enunciate and ask if they rhyme. It doesn't, does it ? And now listen to the song. And listen carefully how he drawls the syllable “ ho” in “whole” and the same way stretches “ no” in “knows”. You see how it rhymes ?Eminem in pretty much the same way rhymes “orange” with “syringe” by twisting the pronunciation. Who says orange doesn't rhyme with anything ? The song did not win the Oscar for no reason.MF DOOM - Meat GrinderEver heard of someone rhyming complete sentences together ? Here we goI really can go on and on about him but I leave it upto you to discover this artist.The lyrics dances, the music enhances and the chance is he might be the one whose rhymes are the densest. ( Just off the top off my head :) )Happy reading.
Is pro wrestling fake? Do they ever actually hurt each other (barring accidents)?
They are very real.The result and the spots of the match are scripted. The moves like punches and kicks are real.A professional wrestler performs signature moves such that they don't injure the other wrestler.Lets take an example of move known as Piledriver. It has been banned in WWE since 2000 and only two wrestlers in WWE are allowed to use the move(Undertaker and Kane).This photo clearly shows that the head doesnt touch the ground.If the move is not done correctly then it will result in a injury. In 1997 Owen hart botched a reverse piledriver on Stone Cold Steve Austin. This broke Austin's neck and that is the reason why he retired early.If we see blood in WWE now it has happened unintentionally since we are now in the PG era. Today's WWE product is marketed towards children not adults. Wrestlers like Ric Flair, Triple H are regular bladers. The preffered area for blading is the forehead since it bleeds profusely and heals easily.I would recommend you to watch the movie The Wrestler (2008).The Wrestler shows that while outcomes of matches may be fixed the physical tolls these men take on their body are often more extreme and long lasting than most other "respectable" sports.
