I should be studying but...
A most distinguishing difference between humans and primates is the locking knee joint. It helps humans to walk upright. All humans should have it, but no type of ape should. That's why when chimps or gorillas walk on two legs, they like to hold their arms around them like helicopter wings for balance. Exceedingly funny.
...left over from when I wanted to study orangutans..
I like me.
Great topic. It is fun to learn from random creative information. Hope to see more from everyone.

I MUST remember that "hors D'oeuvre" is appetizer in french rather than desserts. -_-!!
What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!
I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?
actually, appetizer is "apéritif." Hors d'œuvre means something else.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
If you want to choke someone, there are 2 main ways you can go about it.
1. You could restrict the osophagus. Which causes a gag reaction, and stops them from taking a breath. This stops oxygen from entering the body, and eventually the brain is deprived of oxygen and goes unconscious as a defense mechanism. This can take anywhere up to a minute. Commonly referred to as an air-choke.
2. Or you could restrict the 2 carotid arteries on the side of the throat. This restricts blood from reaching or leaving the brain, depriving it of blood until it goes unconscious as a defense mechanism. This takes up to around 10 seconds for a person to go unconscious, a few seconds more and they will have brain damage, then die. Commonly referred to as a blood choke.
Clearly the blood choke is better in every way. It's safer if you don't want to kill, it's faster if you do. And you don't risk crushing the osophagus if you don't want to injure.

from wiki.According to American historian Him Mark Lai, approximately 430,000 or 70% of Chinese Americans in the 1980s were Taishanese according to 1988 data. Currently some 500,000 Chinese Americans claim Taishanese origins.
tony leung, shawn yu, and some membs of beyond are all toisanese as well.

Damaging the osophagus only happens in an air choke. It depends on what you want to do.
In a training environment, you don't want to hurt your partner. You just want to put them in a blood choke that they acknowledge will kill them if it was a live situation. So they tap when they feel the choke and you let go. No one gets hurt.
If you did an air choke, you might go a bit too hard, or they struggle too much, their throat might get injured. You don't want that.
In a live situation or any situation, a blood choke is always better. Based solely on the fact that they will go unconscious much faster. Then you can let go and do whatever you want to them. Whereas if you did an air choke and crushed their throat, it might be hard getting the authorities on your side if you claim self defense.
