What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I would argue an 8 oz can of coke is the most familiar liquid, aside from water, worldwide-- people have a constellation of nutritional associations with it.

Regular cans of Coke are 12 oz. Well, in America. I know they come in different sizes around the world (and I've seen the cute little 8 oz. cans here too), but I think the 12 oz. size is more common. Maybe.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have no idea what the relevance of 27g of carbs to 13g of carbs is if the caloric content is similar.

Per serving, Coke has about twice the calories of VitaminWater.

[eta: Neither company, as far as I know, actually sells an 8 oz bottle or can in the US, but both consider "one serving" to be 8 oz.]

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Best hopes for your dad, Kat

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

More PZ:

Quit stealing our mythology!

Those bastards — the Anglicans are trying to appropriate Dr Who.

A conference of Church of England vicars watched a handful of episodes from the sci-fi series to study its religious parallels, particularly its themes of evil, resurrection and redemption.

Similarities between the Doctor and Christ, as well as whether the evil Daleks are capable of changing, were also examined.

"There are countless examples of Christian symbolism in Doctor Who, which we can use to get across ideas that can otherwise be difficult to explain,'' The Sunday Telegraph in Britain quoted Andrew Wooding, a spokesman for conference organising group Church Army, as saying.

Grrr. Be done with it and simply declare that Jesus was a Time Lord, OK?

Fifteen out of twenty-two! What do I win?

Though I should point out I'm counting homosexual as well as lesbian, for fun, and as a protest about no 'bisexual' category.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm getting panicky.

Kat, I know it's uber-stressful when it's your parent. Believe me, I know. All I can say is that bypass surgery is really common, which is unfortunate in a general sense, but good in a specific sense because it means that your dad is undergoing a surgery that's been honed and improved upon for many years.

How old is your dad, and -- other than his heart -- how's his health?

(Also, if my Child Of A Heart Patient routine is a pain in the ass, tell me. I'm just spouting off my experience in the hopes that my dad's good outcomes might make you feel better about your dad's situation. If I'm only stressing you out, I totally don't want to do that.)
