A Series of Unfortunate Events
After re-reading a Series of Unfortunate Events (Which is still just as wonderful as it was eight or so years ago) I got very caught up in the Beatrice side story. It's very confusing and cryptic, and was wondering if anybody had there own opinions on it?

Would you insure someone whose house was on fire?
No one would insure someone whose house is on fire, right? They just want to make a quick claim, far in excess of their premium paid. So why should we force insurance companies to accept people with pre-existing conditions?

Could Dolphins or Whales learn to play diplomacy
I was curious if Whales and Dolphins are capable of playing diplomacy. Either ftf or online. We could devise a helmet using donation money to fund marine biology experiments on these creatures. Study what openings they like; study their convoy choices. What do you think?

My girlfriend snores
Apparently we both snore alot. I am told I sound like a horse sometimes when I sleep. I was wondering if I am part centaur. What should I do to improve my airways so I dont snore? And please dont suggest hooking me up to tubes or some creepy oxygen machine. My ex did that and she was like sleeping next to skeletor

A couple things can be done.

First, you can hook yourself up to a machine at night. It honestly helps.

Second, you could lose weight if you are overweight.

Third, it is possible the snoring is due to a deviated septum, or similar blockage of a nasal passage. Surgery can fix that.

Fourth, I think I heard that my friend's dad had his tongue shaved or something to fix his problem?

I saw this interesting new device for sleep apnea (often associated with snoring): http://www.winxsleepsolution.com/

It's not cheap, but less Skeletor-like. I have no affiliation with this company - just thought the product looked interesting.

Or, maybe...

Just use a CPAP

Because breathing while you sleep is more important than worrying about how you you look while neither you nor your girlfriend are conscious.

Get proper professional medical advice, if you have a problem then you probably have that regardless of whether you sleep alone or with a partner, or partners.
One thing about the "machines with tubes etc", a colleague recently had to get one and use it, & his partner is an experienced Registered Nurse.... Keep the plastic tubes clean...moist & warm places are often fungus friendly

Lose weight (if that's a problem), get surgery or use a CPAP. You don't wanna fuck around with sleep apnea. An acquaintance of mine died pretty recently at 28 because of it. Left behind a wife and kid.

Having read brainbomb's medical history in another thread, this is probably not his problem, but environmental allergies can also make people snore. Get yourself tested (to know what allergens to focus on reducing exposure to) and take allergy medication to improve quality of life with allergies.

Loosing weight and sleeping sober both helps a lot. The second is easier to do fast and in may also lead to achieving the first in the longer run... :)
