You can learn something every day, like this amazing knowledge I learned last night.

In 1674, according to Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, someone smeared the Black Stone with excrement so that "every one who kissed it retired with a sullied beard". The Shi'ite Persians were suspected of being responsible and were the target of curses from other Muslims for centuries afterwards, though explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton doubted that they were the culprits; he attributed the act to "some Jew or Greek, who risked his life to gratify a furious bigotry."

Yes that black stone. Probably the most holy relic in all of Islam.

What? I see nothing wrong or amusing about this picture. It's ice cream. Probably delicious.

Are you looking for something to nitpick about? Of course it looks delicious. It also looks like the perfect emblem of fat America, and the heart attack express lane.

Delicious ice cream is "funny" now because you ascribe some connotations to it. 🙄

Cookies-and-cream ice cream has been around for a long time, and everyone knows Oreo cookies and cream is some of the best. Oreo just doesn't reach its full potential without some kind of dairy -- usually milk, which isn't really "good for you" unless you're malnourished and starving.

It could be practically any delicious food. Pasta, meat, or sweets.

"Funny" 🙄

[edit]

Just came across this on Facebook:

Now that is the sort of example you would use to make your point.

Even if that scenario is true, it doesn't mean the video is "fake."

Why wouldn't the person would get out of his car immediately to assist?

I'm not saying this video is a "fake", I'm saying this video is not someone losing control, but someone trying to flee. Note the decelerate, accelerate. Also no one JUMPS out of their car, and RUNS up to the driver of a low impact/fender bender type accident.

I would because I would expect that the occupant could be having a health issue.
