Are you bored enough to figure that out, or did you read it somewhere?

You can't even call them stews anymore, the old crusty bartenders on planes demand respect now!

Since they got the power to kick you off the flight, and have you arrested by the FBI. They got Cocky, older and ruder in recent times.

"Racecar" is spelled the same way backwards.

Link not needed for this fact obviously.

Note - I prefer links or pictures for the more technical facts.

Want a bowl of cancer to sate your appetite? Well, then eat a bowl of thick and creamy Mac & Cheese. That's right folks, Mac & Cheese might even be worse for you than smoking. Probably depends on how much Mac & Cheese you consume. Obivously if you smoke and eat Mac & Cheese you're going to die.

The Yellow die they use to give Mac & cheese that bright orange-yellow color comes from dyes, and dyes come from petroleum products and petroleum products contains carcinogens that may lead to the development and spread of cancer cells in your body. So dig in kids! :yeah:

Did you actually read the article before you posted that garren? Or are you just trying to be sarcastic and failing?

You should get yourself a yearly subscription to the Daily Mail, you'd love it. :up: Every week there's a new item that can kill you, collect them all!

It's a fact that drinking water can kill you.

Fresh human urine is sterile and so free from bacteria. In fact it is so sterile that it can be drunk when fresh

Reminds me that I heard that original Gatorade was designed from human urine. It's not human urine but they analyzed everything you lose in your urine and recreated it in a synthetic form and then added flavoring so you can restore you electrolytes and sugars.

Actually it was from sweat.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatorate

I know widipedia isn't the most accurate source in the world. I read the article and it is consistent with what I learned about Gatorade. It was just easier to find and post this one article than to find and post the research articles.

That's right. Sweat. Flavored sweat. Yummy.

Contrary to popular belief, no one is buried in Grant's Tomb.

However, Grant and his wife are entombed in an above ground room.

That helps explain why I do not like the taste of any Gatorade. Think I will stick to 'home brew':03:
