The UFC and MMA I've never really followed team sports like Football, Baseball, Basketball etc, but I have a pretty strong passion for combative sports/competition. MMA being my favorite, I also love boxing, kickboxing, & muay thai. Even grappling competitions are exciting as hell to me. I've had the privilege of being to two live UFC pay-per-view's, the latest one was the December card in Toronto, and I can't begin to describe the thrill of witnessing such high level and incredibly skilled mixed martial artists in person. When Cowboy's shin landed on Matt Brown's skull you could literally hear it echo throughout the auditorium. Anyone else into MMA & UFC? What are your thoughts on where the company is at since it got bought over? The last

Girlfriend's Pregnancy Scare Story I don't think I've panicked more in my entire life.. I'm in a long distance relationship dating a girl who lives in Alberta while I live in Ontario. We see each other every few months or so, the last time we saw each other was 3 months ago. Recently she's been feeling very fatigued and sleeping a lot during the day having to call in sick for work, she's been feeling nauseous and her iron levels have dropped. She then started complaining about stomach cramps.. She went to the doctor and they booked her for a blood/urine test to see what the problem was, and he also asked her if she was pregnant which she said there's no way because the last time she saw me was 3 months ago. After she told me this I immediat

A New Years Miracle My faith in humanity has been restored after what happened over the last 24 hours. So I was Ubering home from my buddy's New Years Eve party last night, and I got the Uber driver to go through the Tim Horton's drive-thru because I was craving an ice cap, mind you I was extremely drunk at this point. All I remember was taking out my wallet to hand him the cash to pay for the ice cap, and I remember having the wallet on my lap. He drops me off and about 10 minutes after I get inside I check my pockets and I notice that my wallet is missing.. I spent over an hour checking the driveway making sure I didn't drop it when exiting the vehicle, I checked my entire house and garage. I knew I didn't leave it at my friends since I k

2 cheese packets in my Kraft Dinner We've all eaten Kraft Dinner before, but have you ever eaten Kraft Dinner with two packets of cheese in it instead of one? If you haven't done this, then I highly recommend trying it. The amazing cheesy explosion you will feel in your mouth is like nothing else... 2 packets makes it taste 100x better. I even found out you can buy the cheese packets separately at certain stores like Bulk Barn. Go try 2 packets! It's worth sacrificing 2 boxes for. You won't regret it.

It is theoretically possible to see dinosaurs It is theoretically possible to see yourself being born, dinosaurs walking around 65 million years ago, the pyramids being built, Hitler rising to power, or even the Earth being formed. Since the farther away you observe Earth, the farther back in time you are looking, you could very well theoretically see into Earth's past if you had a large enough telescope. For example, if an alien species 65 million light years away had such a telescope and were observing Earth right now, they wouldn't be seeing us (the year 2016), as it would have taken light 65 million years to reach their telescope, thus they would literally be seeing dinosaurs walking around. We are always looking into the past, even if

Fitness Stats amp Goals Hey everyone, firstly I'd like to start off by saying I know this isn't bodybuilding.com, so if bodybuilding, powerlifting, and/or general fitness doesn't interest you then please hit the back button and go back to the Anime section. There use to be a pretty big fitness community on Basil back when I would post (My last post on this account was exactly 1 year ago, October 2015). I thought that I would start a thread to see if anyone around is still lifting, hitting their macros, and making sick gains. Feel free to post your stats & goals in a similar format, I'd love to hear what other people's lifts are and what you're trying to achieve. I'm now 25 years old, I've been lifting for about 6 years now. I consider mysel

Multiverse Theory The Multiverse is the notion that our universe is but one of an infinite number of other universes. When you actually think about it, it makes complete sense. We have always been egocentric, we first thought that our planet was the only planet, then we learned that Earth is just one planet out of trillions of other planets. We then thought our solar system was the only solar system and that there was only one Sun, and then we learned that every spec of light we see in the sky is the light from countless other stars. Then when the peripherals of the Milky Way Galaxy were discovered we thought we had discovered it all again, only to learn that our galaxy consisting of 200 billion suns is only 1 out of approximately 200 billi

The Official Dragon Ball Super Thread So to those of you who have been keeping up with DBS what do you guys think of it so far? I absolutely love it. It's been pretty action packed and I love the plot. In the last couple episodes when they all take turns fighting Beerus it was awesome to watch. Vegeta going SSJ2 and getting some hits on him had me so excited, I also love how they're showing each and every character participate somehow - they're really not leaving anyone out. To those who saw the last episode what did you think of that 15 min Super Saiyan God transformation? I thought it was pretty over the top but still epic at the same time. Shenron is also such a pleb.
