    Never had real seafood before. Where should I start?

    For as long as I can remember I haven't been able to eat seafood. I just avoid it at all costs. This includes any kind of fish, squid, shrimp. The only kind of seafood i have been eaten is lobster, but I can only eat the meat from the appendages. I'm just looking for ideas on where to start?

    Can cake make my poop red?

    Last night I had a few slices of some red velvet chocolate cake, and this morning after I did my business I noticed the nuggets were dark red. Could the cake cause this or am I going to die?

    Upgrade from 7600gt?

    I currently got my old gaming rig back up and running, and I'm wondering if there's anyway I can upgrade the gpu without bottlenecking the cpu. I don't have enough money at the moment to do a full upgrade, so I'd like to be able to get as much out of this rig as possible. Specs are below. If...

    Quick build I just made up

    I'm looking to get into a SFF for college next year, and I saw a deal on newegg that was pretty good. How does this build look? I'm gonna be using it for light gaming, some photo editing, and probably some engineering programs at some point. HP Black 22X DVD+R 22X DVD-R SATA 22X DVD Burner...

    I Graduated from high school

    Today I graduated high school, and when they handed me my diploma they gave me an envelope. Inside was a note saying that I had to return a textbook before I could get my diploma. There was also another smaller envelope inside, and I opened it to find a check in my name for $323! Apparently I...

    I can't sleep

    I had to stay up late to finish some projects, and now that I've finished them I can't fall asleep. This blows, but I might as well make good use of the time. What should I do for the next 4 hours?

    How much would it cost to build a town from the ground up?

    Today I was watching a movie about jim jones and the People's Temple, and although everything he did was very horribly wrong I was actually amazed that this one man managed to start a "town". What I'm wondering is how much would it cost in real dollars, or in permits to start up a town in the...

    Thinking of upgrading to a 40D

    But if I did that I'd be left without any lenses. :( Fortunately I have $700 to spend. At this point I'm thinking an 18-55mm IS and a 60mm macro lense. Do those lenses perform well on the 40D? http://www.flickr.com/photos/27793167@N03/3646439861/...

    What's going on here?

    So earlier today I was chewing a lot of blueberry trident, and later I had a peach, but it tasted weird. It's like my taste buds were out of wack. I think the gum is to blame. Anyone have any similar experiences?

    Which job would you rather have?

    Not factoring in what you'd actually be doing, would you rather work 10 hours a week for $25k per year or 50 hours a week for $100k per year?

    Some rugby photos

    Had a chance to take some photos at a high school rugby game today using my canon 75-300mm. It was my first time using the lense for sport shots, and I'm pretty happy with some of the results. Rugby Set

    Found some old MREs in my basement

    They've been in my basement for about 3 years now, and I'm wondering if they are safe to eat? Also which of the flavors I got is the best? http://farm4.static.flickr.com...20312_74f92fdbb2_b.jpg

    If it cut your gas consumption by 75%

    Would you buy a car that was partially powered by a wind turbine affixed to the roof? The catch is that the car is pretty damn ugly.

    A cool concept I just thought up

    I just thought that instead of using tombstones we could use trees instead. It'd be a really better memorial, because as the years go by after the person's death their tree will grow. Personally I'd like to be remembered as that guy with that big tree that is pretty in the springtime. It'll last...

    Just found a tick

    Found it on my thigh a few inches from my genitalia. Took awhile to get it off, but I'm not sure if I got it all. The body broke in half while getting it out, leaving the head still attached. I used some tweezer's, and I managed to get everything that was visible out. I'm still worried about...

    So I've been accepted into all three of the above colleges, but I still don't really know which one I want to go to. I'm not quite sure on what I wanna major in, so I have no idea how to factor that in. Any alumni got experiences to tell me? Umass Amherst, UNH, Umaine Orono

    For those of you who haven't seen the splendor that is Vermont

    I'm sure that there are plenty of people out there that have yet to lay their eyes on Vermont. Although the foliage season is great, I really feel that you can see the real Vermont in the winter. Anyone on the fence for skiing up here should definitely check it out. The powder is really fresh...
