You mean wagging your tongue to lick the stamp consumes 1/10th calorie, or there is 1/10th calorie worth of digestible material on the stamp

The vein that was in my inner lower left thigh is now camping out in my chest attached to my heart. So are both mammary arteries.

I once found a 6 leaf clover, but a monkey ate it.

I assume that we're referring to the amount of exertion involved.

Really??? My assumption was the exact opposite, that stamp glue (some of which will enter your digestive track) has a small amount of caloric content.

Hmm - based on this website, a 200 lb person walking for 3 miles at 3MPH = 300 calories burned. Assuming a step of 2.5 feet, this means that 2 steps burns 0.09 (or ~ 0.1) calorie. I would think wagging your tongue is less exertive than taking two walking steps.

Assuming the stamp glue is carbohydrate/protein, then 0.1 calorie = 25 mg of stamp glue. That seems possible -- 25 mg is a pretty small quantity

The Da Vinci Code is Tom Hanks's highest grossing film worldwide.

It's gotten to the point where careful investigation is needed just to tell parody from reality. I think that means reality is broken.- Noclevername.

The calories on that web site are kilo-calories. The 1/10th calorie involved in licking a stamp is the regular, un-extrasized mono-calorie. The only thing unclear is whether the 1/10th calorie is a net gain from the sweet, sticky stuff on the stamp, or a net loss due to tongue exertion. I'm guessing its a zero-sum game.

And that's a fact

Elephants can't jump, . . . can they?

Bird eggs are bigger than their brains. At least I can't think of any bird that has a brain bigger than their eggs.

The fastest speed a falling raindrop can hit you is 18mph.

Unless you are flying upward at 50 mph.

or driving at any speed along the ground.

The raindrop hits you, you do not hit it

A ball of glass will bounce higher than a ball of rubber. A ball of solid steel will bounce higher than one made entirely of glass.

After more Googling, I think you're right: they're saying that the glue is 0.1 calories.
