Ozkar Wild Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I'm a newbie and want to get into Geocashing. I just brought a GPS. But my friend told me that you can't eat red meat because it afects the GPS signal. He said the fatty amino acits and isoflavinoids in the meat react with the free radicals in your body and bend the GPS signal. As anyone heard about this? I really like to try this sport, but I love steak and dont want to give it up. Link to comment

+worldtraveler Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Just send me all your steaks, Ozkar, and I'll have my lab check them out for you. Please note that the process requires raising the temperature of each steak to above 350° for several minutes. I've found that a gas or charcoal grill yields the best results. Unfortunately, the steaks are "consumed" in the testing process, so I will not be able to return them to you. I will, however, be sure to email the results of my findings back to you. I usually charge $20 per steak for this service; but since you are a new geocacher, I'm willing to give you a discount. How does $250 for a dozen steaks sound? Just don't tell anyone else, or all my current customers (mostly other geocachers) will want the same deal. Send me your email address so we can arrange shipping. Worldtraveler Link to comment

Hinge Thunder Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 On the contrary! Eat more red meat. Red meats have the best proportions of amino acids to give you the energy you need to hunt those difficult caches! Avoid vegitarians, as they tend to bend GPS signals...and legs. In the GPS model of the universe, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line...through creeks, thorn bushes, horse piles, whatever.... Link to comment
+TresOkies Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I think if you look at OzKar's profile, you will see the answer to if he's serious or not. If someone truly loved raccon hunting, NASCAR, and The King, he would probably use a PC to prop up the Nova in front of his single-wide. Now the stoopit kwestyun is: who is OzKar? I'm not sure if this has the properties of a Choberiba spoof or not. -- N35°32.981 W98°34.631 Link to comment
MACpa Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 It must be true. Being a hunter myself and knowing many other hunters that use their GPS while hunting it seems that the deer are willing to sacrifice themself for the cause. P.E.T.A.= People Eating Tasty Animals Link to comment
+majicman Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I have done extensive research on this in my last 30 years or so, and I am happy to tell you that the true answer is "Yes." Now, Mr. Lawdeydaw Treehugger and Mrs. Bumthrottle Vegetarian are going to tell you all sorts of fairy tales about how red meat causes all sorts of ills, including GPS "wander" (that is the tendancy of your GPS to give innacurate reading proportional to the inverse square of your absolute distance from the cache.) I have noticed that eating red meat also induces the dread disease: "Farmer's Lung" (the only known cure for which - is death.) Now, if you're Mr. Commonsense, you won't believe me when I tell you that I've got an envelope here that will wash your car while your driving it home from Geocaching. No siree - this one isn't like the self-sharpening Razorbacks, no overheating like with the tropical Mag 315's. Wait, I digress... Back to the subject at hand... yes, red meat causes GPS "wander", and also hair loss in men over 50, and has been scientifically linked to impudence in test mice! I think it also causes ice cream to melt more quickly and I have my suspicions that my wife is secretly slipping bacon into my morning coffee (strange, I don't drink coffee...) Now, I believe that I have cleared this up, so... Let's EAT! (Ah, the glories of food... - heavy on the thirty-weight, mom! Hot buttered goat clusters...) --majicman P.S.

+majicman Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Oh yeah, I was drooling and forgot to tell you how to compensate for the "red meat" GPS signal bendeng (what we engineer type people who work in the big buildings that your daddy built like to call "difraction".) GPS Red Meat Diffraction (which subsequently causes GPS wander and sometime the bends) can be counteracted and reduced to insignificance if you will take a standard set of Christmas lights (the ones with the little bulbs) and as you are Geocaching, wrap the lights all around your body and up the arm that you hold the GPS in. This causes the eminations from the free radicals (and those that are still imprisoned) to be absorbed by the non-electrified field not generated by the unplugged Christmas light string. Once captured, these nastly little buggers are carted off to teeny tiny dungeons housed within the base of the lights that fairies and pixies put in at the North Pole before they package and ship the Christmas lights. Here they are incarserated until the next lighting of the string, at which time they are unceremoniously incinerated. So, if you see Geocachers draped in Christmas Light strings, DON'T LAUGH! (They are probably finding that caches you keep missing...) --majicman (Red Meat and GPS Wander Expert) majicman Link to comment
