"Waterworld" definitely needs a "How it should have ended."

Did anyone watch "Fathead?" This is the description:

Quote:
While most people saw the documentary Super Size Me as an expose of the fast food industry, comedian and former health writer Tom Naughton saw it as a dare: He'd show that you could lose weight on a diet of burgers and fries. In addition to chronicling Naughton's weight drop, the film provides interviews with doctors, nutritionists and others to drive home his thesis that most of what we know about "healthy eating" is wrong.
Did I mention that he also drastically increased his exercise? I cannot imagine that he lost twelve pounds in twenty-eight days through exercise alone or even mostly through exercise, but doesn't it seem like a confounding variable? Exercise is great and wonderful. I highly recommend it, but it still would have been awesome if he ate his McDonald's diet, exercised normally, and lost 9 - 10 pounds?

Someone asked him about confounding variables and he responded "Are you easily confounded and confused?"

If you built a boat tail, made wheel covers, and said you built a boat tail and improved fuel economy 12%, wouldn't we call you out for confounding variables?

Well, I finished my quizzes and the test. Aside from the final, I am halfway through the class, but there is not a midterm. At least we will have four days between the last test and the final instead of having three or four quizzes and a test all on consecutive days.

I am going to start working on my Civic tomorrow. Seriously, isn't that a one afternoon job? I should have time to watch both "Captain Marvel" and "Alita" this week. Yay.
