$40.50 per donation? Hypothetically you could get $600 a month! How is it financially feasable to pay that amount to so many people?

well that amount is next to nothing compared to the amount of money people pay for it in the clinics!

it's just like organ donors. Moldavian donors will receive $5000 for a kidney, while it costs the rich but sick patient a whooooole lot more than that! naturally that $5000 is spent relatively quickly so that Moldavian dude is now again very poor, and weakened

This is completely off topic, but this always confused me. Alot of times I see people on various sites writing god as "gawd". Now, to me, "god" and "gawd" are pronounced the same way. Maybe its my Bostonian accent, I don't know, but I always assumed this is how everyone pronouced it. And people pronounce it the same way here in Canada, so that just re-enforced

What I'm asking is, when people write "gawd", is it supposed to denote a "different" pronounciation of how they normally say "god", or is it supposed to just be a funny way of spelling it. And if its the pronounciation, what kind of people, in your mind, would say it that way? Just curious...

It's sort of like people who say or write "dawg" instead of "dog"

@ monk

'gawd' comes from cockney by the way, as in 'gawd blimey'

Hmmmm.... How many of you think that the "o" in dog and god are pronounced the same? I don't. The "o" in dog rhymes with log and fog, while the "o" in god rhymes with cod and nod and pod. The former are much more like "gawd" than the latter are.

Just me, probably.

From Britannica.com:

Main Entry: dog
Pronunciation: 'dog, 'däg

Main Entry: 1god
Pronunciation: 'gäd also 'god

They beg to differ - they're pronounced alike.

Main Entry: cod
Pronunciation: 'käd

Main Entry: 1nod
Pronunciation: 'näd

Main Entry: 1log
Pronunciation: 'log, 'läg

Main Entry: 1fog
Pronunciation: 'fog, fäg

fäg

[Theben]

How're 'dog' and 'god' pronounced alike?!

'o' in 'dog' sounds like 'aw'

'o' in 'god' sounds like 'ah'

There's no need to make fun of SlowwHand's dialect.

Hm. Monks'? That's what I'm afraid of.

[Kuciwalker]

Yeah, in dog the little trailing consonant-sound on the 'o' is a 'w', whereas in god it's a 'y'.
