Ok, so I was nuking some greenbeans on a plate to eat for lunch. I put them in for only about 20 seconds when I started noticing big sparks coming off of them with a loud *bzzzt* sound. Obviously I stopped the microwave. I thought maybe there was a piece of metal in one of the beans so I...
Upright deep freeze in garage, power went off approx 8:00 pm last night. Ambient temp in garage was about 40 last night and probably upper 50's today. The power has still not come back on yet, and I don't get off of work until 4:30. I expected it to come back on this morning, but apparently...
My wife and I built a house back in 2003. Built it land included for about 128K. It appraised for about 155K or so, and has probably gone up to about 160K maybe. Our initial loan was through a local bank, and in the paperwork they gave us initially it said they sold 90% of all the home loans...
It's because Asian people think eating parts of the animal will make them better in bed.
Hello, Viagra? Welcome to the 20th Century. What's harder to find, a pill churned out by the millions or a horn on a rhino that there is only 50 of left in the world. Who in their right mind eats a...

Changed my own brake pads on the car last weekend, but they sometimes squeak when braking so I figured they rotors needed turned. Also they looked a bit glazed over. Took them in to get turned at the local auto store and they said that one of the rotors is...
What personal info do you put on there? Name, address, email address? Consider me moderately paranoid, just put your email address at the top of the resume?
It was a mid 80's ford LTD or some old boat like that. Somehow a big blue tarp had gotten hung up on the rear suspension somewhere and it was dragging behind the car that was doing 45 mph down a major 4 lane road. The funny part is that there was some kind of blue metal cart setting on top of...
I got my assessment form from the county, and there is a box on there for how much poultry you own. I can sorta understand cows, boats, cars because some of them can be high dollar, but chickens? Is there anything they don't tax?
My daughters school started a fundraiser for new playground equipment, i have no problem helping or donating to that effort. What I do have a problem with is how they are going about it. Yesterday my daughter in Kindergarten showed up with a fake pill package marked "Rx for fun" that looks...
Does anybody else think they hear Trent sing "I think I used to have a porpoise" in the song "Everyday is Exactly the Same". They have been playing the song on the radio a lot here and I really like it, but I swear he says porpoise. I'm sure the lyrics are "purpose" but everytime I hear porpoise.
CBS morning news has been doing a segment on the Indian economy and outsourcing every morning this week. The intro has a cool sounding instrumental, anybody else heard it or have an idea who it is. I'm assuming CBS would steal music before making there own just for a news segment.
I currently heat with propane. Looking for an economical way to help heat the house. Wife can't live with a wood burning stove in the house unfortunatley. Sorta sucks because I have free access to as much firewood as I can cut. Propane for the winter runs me about $1200 at current prices...
Admittedly, I haven't paid much attention to changes in policy or finance charges on my credit cards. I just paid them both off recently. But I just noticed that they now charge a % for purchases made during the month, instead of having a grace period. Is this the norm for CC's now? I...
You can still get subclub tickets until then, but after April 30th they are worthless so if you have a stash like me, use them up now...
The subway I went to had a sign up about this today. And the lady behind the counter told me the details.

Ok, i have an old 16mm reel full of tv commercials I am selling. One of the commercials is of King Kong and a car, probably from the 1960's. I've found evidence on the intarweb that Datsun did a commercial with King Kong on their 60's king cab trucks, and from the description it is very...
I work customer service at a large sandwich corporation. Just the usual "make the angry customer happy" kind of stuff. You know, customer calls in with complaint. Send them some coupons for some free subs and tell them you'll look into the problem, and they go away. But today I drew the...

Ok, car has close to new tires on it. Been a little while since they had been installed, and I thought I could feel a slight shimmy in the right front tire. But the car drove straight as an arrow, you could let go of the steering wheel on the highway and it drove straight. So I went and had...
Let's say you can't afford a new car, but due to the large amount of deprication that takes place in a cars first year, you can afford a used one that is only one year old. If you found a car that you really liked, and was in great shape at a great price would you get it if you found out that...
I own a 98 ford explorer, V8, All wheel drive, 75k miles. About a year ago the check engine light came on, took it into the dealership and they said that the catalytic converter was shot. So I had it replaced, and since my car had less than 80k miles on it they did the work for free. Got it...

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A rampant rhinoceros gave a group of visitors a glimpse of nature in the raw at a British...
My work fax gets at least 5 junk faxes per day minimum. It is so frustrating. It's worse than email spam, because it uses up your toner and paper to print their ads. If you call the number on the fax all you get is more fax spam because they know somebody is reading the faxes. I can't change...
