Just as nobody expects the spanish inquistion, here's something I bet you wouldn't expect to find on the snack aisle and is almost assuredly something YOU DO NOT KNOW. (copied without permission from L Train who himself appropriated it elsewhere)

You're right. I didn't know that. Kinda would be funny t'see that on all our food, yeah?
I wish I was as young as I look in the forum picture! But I'm not. :(
My two closest friends are lefties. Thus, this quote from it scares me: "Despite how successful some left-handers are, and how inconspicuous most remain, throughout history left-handedness has been associated with clumsiness and with unpleasant traits such as untrustworthiness and insincerity." Am I missing something.
... and I'll call BS on that. http://www.salon.com/2011/10/29/the_mystery_of_left_handedness/

The Who's John Entwistle is almost deaf.
The Guess Who initially hated their band name.
The pianoforte (piano) was invented in 1600 and started gaining popularity by 1700.
Poinsettas are toxic to cats.
Pete Townshend's first guitar smash was an accident.
I am quite sure that John Entwistle is COMPLETELY deaf. And something that rhymes with deaf.
Yep. He completely lost his hearing (and all his other senses) the day before I had tickets to see the Who for the first time. Strangely enough, that show was cancelled.
A list of my PRs in a misguided attempt to impress people that do not care.
Will run for scenery.
Stupid feet!
Stupid elbow!

In 1912, the perfect woman weighed 171 pounds and chowed down on Beefsteak. http://now.msn.com/elsie-scheel-a-cornell-student-was-the-perfect-woman-in-1912-and-weighed-171-pounds
Wot? Run? I thought they said Rum!
Yes! I should get some of those. Here, dumb kitty, kitty.
never runs the tangents

It would probably just make Kitty throw up even more than usual.
But that would be funny!
Miss Information is not the source desk for the State Department Spokesmen/women, no matter how often they may seem to get their information from her.
"Yap" is the name of an island in the South Pacific. The US bypassed it during WWII as it retook islands from the Japanese.
"Iwo Jima" was/is not really the name of that island. The US folks who dubbed it "Iwo Jima" misunderstood what the Japanese were saying.
As was true with several of the islands there, the Japanese built all kinds of tunnels and bunkers and stuff. They did not really believe in 'surrender'. Even with the end of the war, getting some of those dudes to throw in the towel was tricky business. The last couple of Japanese soldiers did not give in until 1951.
There actually are "B-cell" batteries... larger that A and smaller than C... but they just didn't take in the US. They apparently are used in Europe, primarily to power bicycle lamps.
be curious; not judgmental
DD batteries are overrated.
