If that hail stone weighs about 60 pounds, it’s one of the ones talked about in the book of Revelation.

Seven inches is too small for a bowling ball.

Is RH-null blood good with (what I think my type is) A-?

um, John…FEWER than 50 people. FEWER.

It all works out. People with thinner skills choose more interesting careers.

Must be a pee-wee bowling ball for kids. PBA bowling balls are right at 8.6 inches in diameter.

And even fewer people have green blood like Spock.

I’d like to meet this guy’s sensei.

Candlepin balls are smaller.

While checking Wiki for this comment, I learned an interesting fact about how the lanes are “conditioned” with a special oiling pattern. Check out the entry on Ten-pin bowling.

Sooner or later concussion is going to catch up with him.

I can see having a skull thick enough to do that, but what about his skin? Hammering nails and breaking concrete with your head can’t be good for the skin.

A thick skull is abnormal???? But… Trump is the president… right?.. (It’s OK, they’ll never get this joke :D )

How do we know about the Hailstone?

Thick skull: cf Niedermann in Larson’s “Millennium Trilogy”?

I suppose you can pound nails with your skull if you it is thicker than most skulls—-but I don’t see this

being a good long-term practice as being beneficial to living a long life.

In other words, you can pound nails with your skull, but not for long

On a serious note, please have your blood typed. Did you know that if you have a rare type, you can be on record at your local hospital Since blood has a shelf life, my kids and I (we have B-) are available for call ins. Someone with our type needs blood, they call us and we donate.

lmao at the bowling ball sized hail stone falling toward Hammerhead’s noggin.

Do thick skulls leave less room for brains?

Funny thing – that large hailstone was gray, hard as a rock, and wouldn’t melt…

He may have an abnormally thick skull, but he really is a numbskull.

If he can’t hammer the nails without bending them, what use is he??

What a coincidence, my wife also calls me “Hammerhead”. Small world.

“When it comes to blood types, you may know A, AB, B, and O—but those larger groups actually contain millions of different varieties. That’s because the surface of our blood cells are coated with antigens—up to 342 of them. Whether you have certain ones determines your full blood type. In 1961, scientists stumbled upon a new blood type they thought impossible: one called Rh-null, meaning it’s lacking all 61 antigens in the Rh system. In the 49 years that followed, only 43 people on the planet have been identified as Rh-null.” Fox News dated 2/1/2015.

I was curious about what the difference was between Rh— and Rh null. I found it interesting and thought you all would as well! As for the number of people with it, I assume the number has increased over the last 4+ years.

I guess John Ferraro doesn’t have a hammer…

Hope that piece of hail didn’t hit anybody.

It’s only recently that people have begun to notice that John mumbles a lot…
