IO: I was hit by a cicada

[Adam'sbaby]

yeah...it was really bizzare a mouse ran across the road in front of me...then it came back out of the bushes...got in the middle of the road...faced my car and started running towards it...there was nothing I could do the damn thing ran right under my tires ..... it scard me for life! I cry if I hit a butterfly

Somehow I feel sorry for that mouse... Maybe he was ill or something.

 

[Adam'sbaby]

Ok, but only is there's a LOT of chocolate

Ok, but only is there's a LOT of chocolate

Lots of Belgian chockies, yes

I found out what is wrong with Aussie chockies today. Apparently there is some waxy substance that is added to stop it melting in the heat. Which doesnt make any sense as the Mexicans invented chockies and its hot there too.

If you wanna be on the belgian-chocolate-mailing-list, send me a PM over at the other place

I am in TOTAL shock though that the Mexicans invented chocolate

I think I need to lie down for a bit now

I think Mexicans invented chockies. Where were the Incas? Im sure they are from that neck of the woods.

I don't know, I'm history-impared

Chocolate was an important luxury good throughout Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, and cocoa beans were often used as currency

I still dont know if thats Mexico or Peru

i was at the golf course alone one night, and i saw one of these things trying to burrow into the ground:

i thought it was an alien . i told my friend when i got into the clubhouse and he was like "did it look like an alien? then it's probably a potato bug"

Cool. Thank you. Now I get to use my safety knowledge

Is that a Class 3 laser pointer? They are illegal. I will need to take it back to the office so that the Radiation Safety Officer can verify that its a low powered legal laser pointer.

Yesterday morning, I found a HUGE cockroach leg inside my newspaper. I was eating my breakfast and it slid down and landed right in front of my plate.
