I have a question about the "three second rule"

[SPKrazy]

if you know that to which i refer

my question is this

is it at the end of three seconds, or when the time hits three?

and how is three seconds arrived at as the time that is allowed?

4. I need 2 more seconds

...I'm over 40, I'm slowing down.

Gotta start exercising tomorrow if people keep cutting off 2 seconds. Oh and I'm gonna start counting 1 one-hundred, 2 one hundred etc...

5. Three seconds after you first notice it

So pay close attention to the floor in the future.

7. It depends on the subject

Honestly, MythBusters proved that one wrong :)

Bacteria hits the food, whether you wait 3 seconds, 12 seconds, or 12 minutes....

Having said that, I take my chances with the bacteria :evilfrown:

8. yah, screw bacteria

only wimps don't eat food off the floor :yoiks:

9. Oh, it's not a SMART decision

Smart has nothing to do with it

It's laziness, pure and simple. And a little gluttony.

10. actually i think it is smart

keeps the immune system active

11. I've thought of that before

Doug Henning died from chemotherapy, because he was a vegan - his immune system was not ready for the shock of chemo.

Mine is baby!!!
