Squirrels are not allowed to give beggars crumbs?

Tough!

Maroon Five is becoming the new Nickle-back. I think after the Internets reaction to the halftime show that`s factual enough.

In the fifteen and sixteen hundreds bully meant an excellent person before becoming what we associate it as today which is roughly the exact opposite. It essentially became a antonym to itself. The phrase "bully for you" preserves the original meaning.

 

The state of Hawaii is trying to rid the island of smoking by considering a bill to raise the minimum age to buy cigarettes to 100, by 2024.

That's pretty clever.

 

I`m envisioning some 100 year old lady taking a long puff on a cig then sighing "I`ve been waiting for this." Then dropping over right there in the chair. Maybe that`s just me.

Chinese New Year involves some of the biggest and most firework celebrations in the world. Made illegal by some parts of China but those laws are commonly unregarded and the fireworks can last weeks. It hails from a myth where a monster terrified all except one kid who just grabbed a fire cracker and Leroy Jenkins`ed it*.

This one could`ve helped @Moon like American Thanksgiving the people of China migrate home during New Years. To deal with those nosy relative and "Why you no married?" questions some young people have taken to hiring people to pose as there boyfriend or girlfriend.




*read up on the actual myth i`m doing it a disserive there...but basically.

 

Wisconsin law does not require that apple pie be served with a slice of cheese.

Vermont, on the other hand, does require that apple pie be served with either cold milk, cheddar cheese, or vanilla ice cream.

 

Who serves apple pie with cheese?
Also why in god's good name is there a law about how to serve apple pie? Who decided to waste their time with that?

 

Both of them are dairy states, so I suspect there's a business interest involved.

ETA: Up until 1967, it was illegal to sell margarine that had been dyed yellow in Wisconsin. "Natural" margarine is white, but it's dyed yellow to look more appealing (and more like butter), so in Wisconsin it was sold with packets of yellow food coloring that the consumer could mix in if he or she chose.

 

Try it with a strong cheddar. It's better than most people think it is.

 

Wow, I didn't think anyone still remembered that!

 

Get back, heathen! Thou shalt not corrupt me with thy demon ways!

 

Come on, try it. What's the worst that could happen?

 

I become possessed by demons of culinary sin.

 

Or you wind up like this.

 

Or this, but I really don't think cheddar and apple will cause that reaction.



Unless it's a psychosomatic thing of course.

 

In Ireland, a McChicken Sandwich and Medium Fries contain 44% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of fat.

 

Wonder how many extra days of RDI I have stored up!

 

I have a few spare McChicken Sandwiches myself.
Though I do have fucked up hormones which are exacerbating the problem.

 

The Lloyd's Bank coprolite is a 7 inch long deuce dropped by a Viking some 1100 years ago in England. Paleoscatologists (in case you've ever wondered exactly what the name for such a profession is) have dubbed it the "Crown Jewel" of fossilized shit.

Spoiler: A piece of very old shit

 

Corn and peanuts contain natural carcinogens called aflatoxins. Celery and carrots reduce the carcinogenic effects of these aflatoxins.

 

It really does not make good impression to use a cap so that visor points backwards.

Just look at this guy! Does he look intelligent with that huge whit cap?

 

Useless fact: I've eaten so many dumplings last night that I, most likely, will never eat another one for at least a year. The thought of eating one, any type, sends shivers throughout my body. My stomach winces and my hands, in combination with my arms, have a desire to strangle me for even thinking about putting another one down my throat.

 

Men are more likely than women to spend money on their partners for Valentine's Day. According to a new study, the average man plans on spending $339 on their spouse or partner while women say they will only spend $64. LOL!
