Question of the Day
Do you prefer "we're not" or "we aren't", and why?
I can see using the former to emphasize "not", or the latter to emphasize "we", but what about when no emphasis is needed?
I'm torn about it. I might stop using contractions in this case altogether.
I fret about really important stuff, don't I?

Question of the Day
What's the point of sending a password through snail mail when the front of the envelope advertises the fact that its contents are PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL, and therefore worth stealing if you're the type of person who's after that kind of stuff?
It's a lot more likely that something will happen to my password in physical transit than in electronic transit, no?
Reasons I can think of that justify sending passwords through snail mail:
- It's fun to make users wait a week for access.
- Trees are evil and we must kill more of them.
- The USPS needs our support so we should send more unnecessary mail.
- The printer doesn't get enough exercise.
- Bob's only talent is folding envelopes and we don't have the heart to fire him.
- Bob is annoying and we make him fold the envelopes so we can laugh when he gets paper cuts.
- Why am I picking on Bob?
- Who is Bob?
- I don't know. I think I'll stop now.

Ever sneeze so violently and rapidly that on the inhale between sneezes you suck fluid down your windpipe?

Question of the Day
Brownies: center, edge, or corner?
Sis and I baked brownies after dinner tonight. We gridded up the pan and chose our squares. I took a corner. Sis took a corner too.
We discussed the yumminess of edges and corners. Dad came in. We offered him a brownie and waited to see what he'd choose.
He looked the plate over and reached for a corner square.
He pulled off a bit of the crust and ate it. When he finished that, he picked up the entire corner. He started pulling off more brownie crust.
A little while later, he put the non-crust portion of the corner square back on the plate, declared that he was done, and left.

Question of the Night
How bad would the Democratic candidate have to be for you to not vote for him?
This was actually a question from last night, and I didn't ask it, but was asked it.
It took me a whole day to come up with an anwer. I think that's because I was actually trying to think of some feasible Democratic candidate that I would not choose over Bush. I realized that would never happen. I considered other possibilities. Given a bad enough Democratic candidate, would I vote for a third candidate instead? No, because that would increase Bush's chances of stealing the election again.
So my answer to that question is, even if the Democratic candidate were a sock puppet (literally), I would vote for him.
Little Bush is a great president ... FOR ME TO POOP ON!
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog for President!

Why do Chinese people store food in the microwave?
It's not a fridge!
Speaking of microwaves ...
Word of the Day
ding
The dents you get in your car when lame-Os open their door into yours? The sound of a bell being rung? Here's a new one:
Verb meaning "to microwave". Equivalent to "nuke" in the microwave sense.
Usage example:
Gnoh ding goh joong bay lay sik ah.
Usage example translation:
I ding a joong for you to eat.
My mom said she picked this up from her friends. She says it's because that's the sound the microwave makes to signal that it's done cooking. I wonder if this word is making its way across the country. "Ding" alert for my West coast Asian readers: listen for it when you visit your parents!

Why do they bother to put center grooves at the top of disposable chopstick pairs when they know full well that the chopsticks are going to separate along the grain of the wood and not along the groove?
As if having unevenly separated chopsticks wasn't bad enough, I have to spend the entire meal looking at that damned groove and be reminded of the fact that my chopsticks aren't balanced!

What do they do with all the frogs at French restaurants after they chop off their legs?
Someone suggested frog paté, but I don't recall seeing that on the menu. And that whole thing about frog legs tasting like chicken ... they do! Amazing.

If you had an alter ego, what would he/she/it be like?
So that alter ego I spoke of in my last post doesn't really exist, in case you were wondering. Got me thinking about it, though. What would I want to be? What would you want to be?

Don't they need to fit, like, miles and miles of intestines in there?

WWBD?
What Would Buddah Do? My roommate says her mom says the Buddhist monk said to her mom and her mom's friend that in one reincarnation Buddah killed a man to save a ferryload of people even though he knew that the bad Karma from that killing would render him a snail or some lowly creature like that in his next life and it would take him several lifetimes to get back to Buddahhood.
So, in short, Buddah would kick some terrorist ass!

Why do cheap new t-shirts make you itchy?
Do they add itch powder to the shirts at the factory so people will pay more for the non-itchy shirts?
