A bit paradoxical.

When baking for the holidays DO NOT Google: cream pies

Google: cream pie recipes

You may have too many calendars. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The oceans are 71% of the earths surface but we know more about the surface of Mars than we do of the oceans floors which contain more varied topography than the land.

There is such a a thing as "too much silicone spray" on the bottom of a flat plastic snow sled.

In 1950 the average broiler chicken weighed about 2 lbs and now weighs about 5 lbs and has 80% larger breast due to selective breeding.

Professional wrestler, Terry Funk died in 2023 at the age of 79.

Don’t know of any wrestler that went trough that much punishment for such a long time and still live to almost 80.

The little recipe I get when I check out a book at the local library says:

Mustang Library

Item # xxxxxxxxx

Due: 2/2/2024

You just saved: $19.66
You have saved: $1,188.88 this past year.
You have saved $18,8344.57 since you began using the library.

The inside of the jacket says the book retails for $29.99 in the USA so I assume the difference is the retail price vs the library price but since my local taxes are used to support the library I have not saved that much.

The hyoid bone is the only bone in the human body that is not directly connected to any other bone. It is located in the neck, between the lower jaw and the larynx (voice box), and serves as an attachment point for muscles involved in swallowing and speech.

I agree.

Not after you get a heated bidet, just saying.

doncha just hate toilet paper that tears in the middle of the sheet, but not along the perforation???

We have a leap year every four years to keep the calendar year 365 days, in line with the solar year, which is 365 1/4 days long. It's actually 365 1/4 days minus 11 minutes.

To make up for that, we skip leap year three times every 400 years. We skip in years that are evenly divisable by 400.

You must have read the same article I did this morning.

If we skip 3 times every 400 years, then how could they be divisible evenly by 400 ?

Huh…..Rick is a Highwayman…

that was Y2K ...I was huddled in a very deep dark cave...

I was up to ring in the new year and see if the internet had blown up.

Never understood what those lyrics were supposed to be about. Teenage exuberance ?

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce

March 26, 1953:Dr. Jonas Salk announced he had successfully tested a polio vaccine.

Salk, a research director at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, said the vaccine had given 90 people protective antibodies against the three types of polio without making them sick. The next year saw close to 2 million children participating in clinical trials of Salk’s vaccine, and in 1955 it was declared safe and effective. After a national inoculation campaign, the number of polio cases fell from 35,000 in 1953 to 161 by 1961, according to the National Library of Medicine. Salk declined to patent the vaccine, and when asked who owned it, he famously answered, “Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?”

The government is managing your speed- unless you own a sports car.

Learned from a mechanic today this has been the standard “for a while”. Most vehicles are governed in the lower 100 mphs.
But if you have a higher end car, you shall not be slowed.

You can go to a dealership and request the restriction be removed/recoded. The cost varies. In general, $600 to $1,100. Some refuse to do it.

And guess what?? If you got that vaccine (and it was a vaccine) you did NOT get Polio. Imagine that!!

No boosters, no bullsheit.

Yup, and smallpox too, considered to have been eliminated from the human race, though smallpox samples do still existing bolas around the world. The elimination of smallpox is one of the very free examples of world wide human cooperation that worked.

Years ago I had a 95 Chevy Caprice Classic with an LT1 and some special lights and equipment and it was governed at 132. Apparently.
