Have you ever stolen anything?* Nov-18-2013 Yes. I steal 1.41 grams of oxygen per minute at 15 breaths per minute = 100 mg of oxygen molcules or Sixteen sextillion molecules of oxygen with each breath. But I return a bunch of carbon with that when I exhale. Yeah, I'm burning REALLY slowly. So yeah, stealing oxygen while I breath. I do that. And I. uh... also steal other things. It's regarding water and protein and fat and glucose and salt.. yeah... and I also steal space that I occupy that MAYBE could be used better by something else. I've also been known to steal people's Time... oh gosh and the appliance and computers and things that I run... I steal electrons, OH GOD, do i love to steal electrons... and photons... don't get me started how many photons I am stealing. *sigh* yes, I'm stealing a lot of photon - I'm compressing them like sponges into my brain so I can expand and use them later when I want do... And phonons.. I do like music.. and yeah.. I steal pressure waves... and they get converted into *sigh* more photons -- the very ones I stole before... I just can't help myself. I'm also stealing your time right now. Oh and INFORMATION! YES, I steal an aweful lot of information... stuff other people put out there.. I reflect protons off of their encoded squigglies and squish them into my brain for my own selfish purposes... I mean.. I DO return carbon. Oh and lots of nitrogen when I pee and... well.. so I DO give back to the community, don't get me wrong.
