comment Are programmers who can type fast better?
Touch typing is to programming as perfect pitch is to musicians. It can help, but you can do very well without it.

What is better about them? Being able to type makes you better at logical thinking? Being efficient at typing makes you efficient at typing programs, but that doesn't give you a fundamental understanding of data structures and algorithms. I can touch type, but many Indian programmers I know can't, yet I'd say they are better than me.

comment Can someone keep a razor blade in his mouth without injury?
>>Continued from before:It just looked like he had lots of practice doing that, but I'm looking for concealing it well and talking normally. @Chad I just found this: lipstickalley.com/f4/razor-blades-mouth-248937 where people make claims that gangs do it all the time and that it is "so 90's". As I said before, I have no doubt that people can do it -- I'm just more skeptical of 1. hiding it so well that people cannot tell that you have something in your mouth, and 2. not cutting yourself, even after a fight. I care more for proof of #1 than #2, seeing as how 2 is very dangerous.

@Oddthinking I know that people can hold blades in their mouths, so for an answer, I was expecting real footage, preferably not from a magic act or stunt where the performer could be pretending, of someone with a razor in his/her mouth talking normally. I've seen YouTube videos of a guy swallowing razors, bringing them back up, and spitting blood after -- it seems like just an illusion. There is another video I saw which this guy is showing how to fight with a blade, throwing it from mouth to hand to hand, but he wasn't able to talk normally with it in his mouth. >>

I'm skeptical of being able to keep a blade in your mouth for that long, under those particular circumstances, and being able to talk and plead like he did. I understand that escape artists keep blades in their mouth, but they're not being beaten to a pulp at the same time -- at least not the escape artists I've seen.
