    Why does cold pizza taste better than warm pizza?

    No.

    Most wind is caused by coriolis effect and its offshoot weather systems and phenomena.

    How many ancient Mayan children, when faced with this in their version of school were like, "Fuck this. I'll just be a stripper."[​IMG]

    If the cold pizza tastes better than the hot pizza, you need to scout out some better pizzerias!

    This, but with artichokes. I mean, the things are covered in spikes, and eating them requires expert technique. Who was the desperate soul who decided that he was gonna eat one of those things?

    I do live in Sunderland. :D In my defence.

    I must admit, that one was a private joke. A friend when high said that, I think he wanted to say 'Why is the wind so loud', but couldn't be bothered to finish his sentence, so it just came out as 'Why is the wind?'

    Where do all my missing biros get to? Doesn't matter how many I purchase. When I need one, I can never find one. :confused:

    @Lemex I worked for many years in two GREAT single-owner pizza places in the USA, and I'm here to tell you that cold pizza tastes GREAT. Mind you, so does hot pizza ...but there's something about getting up in the morning knowing you've got leftover pizza for breakfast ...sigh, those were the days...

    Yes! Especially when one considers that the plump, succulent (in the horticultural sense) looking flower buds of the artichoke as we know it today is not at all how that plant started out. The originating species, the cardoon, is still with is today and looks every bit the thistle it is. o_O

    The universe is destroying itself in many ways, particularly biros and teaspoons. Teaspoons have a defined half-life. Perhaps biros do too.

    http://www.bmj.com/content/331/7531/1498

    The universe is also creating itself in the form of wire coat hangs.

    We must set up a factory to recycle coat hangers into teaspoons and biros to redress the balance. The future of the universe depends on this. If we fail in this epic quest, civilisation as we know it will come to an end! (We'll all be knee-deep in coat hanger and no one will be able to make notes or stir their tea.):)

    Same place as missing socks. Stolen through microportals into an alternative universe with no industrial infrastructure.

    Why is it that my students seem to always hate the spelling tests I give them?

    Because they haven't had spelling tests since 4th grade, so they're not used to it?

    Ah! So let me ask you this.

    Does the portal support two way traffic?

    Reason I ask... this might perhaps explain why, despite counting all the bits and pieces before assembling a flat pack, and using them, as per the manufacturers instructions, I always end up with left over screws.

    I thought they'd enjoy it if I mixed things up with a few Anglo-Saxon words! :p

    Same reason they hate math tests, science tests, history tests, geography tests, French tests, and all other tests. Students hate tests. I don't think I've ever met anybody who likes tests.

    True, but I've never had a problem with those.

    Nor I, sir. ;) Though there was that brief phase (like a week) at university. Str8s aren't the only ones who can go bi-curious for a bit. :p

    Anywho...

    I genuinely do not mean this in a crass or lewd way, but I sometimes wonder what it would feel like to have breasts. And by that I mean breast-breasts, like at least a very full C cup to get the full effect of not just moobs, but actual boobs.
