    Ribs are easy to break, but Guynemer is most likely the one who is correct.
    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

    I also think that you are not strong enough to break either by slowly increasing pressure. (I'm certain I'm not)
    Now if you hit yourself, it might be a different thing.

    Dont want to break that bone. Its very precious to me.

    I am bored up here on the top of the world.

    Sheesh, why do all you guys automaticaly assume that anyone else who posts on this forum is a virgin? If you are not a virgin, then chances are no one else on this board is either.

    Nah. Ecth has a lot of pent up sexual frustration. The only way he can find to release it is to insult other people. Perfectly understandable. I was that way too when I was 14.

    Im guessing that in a country with legalized prostitution there are much better ways to release your pent up frustration And all you would need to do is save up your pocket money to put an end to any 'youre a virgin' jibes in the playground

    I don't know. I particularly liked loinburger's "which eye would you rather drive a railroad spike through" poll.

    But let's make this thread more retarded: How do deaf people get up in the morning? It can't be by alarm clock.

    Depends which rib, which location, and the angle of the thumb in relation to its socket joint and the direction of pressure into your rib, but it's not likely you're strong enough to break anything that way.
