- Don't post jokes in news stories about anti-rape campaigns
- Republicans are very focused. Don't try to point out weak issues.
- Many people get angry if you disagree with them, even slightly
- Making a hamburger and using grilled cheese sandwiches as the top/bottom bun is the most awesome thing I have ever experienced
- Meatballs belong in lasagna
- Bananas emit antimatter
- The sore on the bottom of my foot is called porokeratosis, and it's a bitch to get rid of
- The road hazard warranty on tires is totally worth it.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of pesky fruit flies in the kitchen.

Answers I'm still searching for:

- Who is the person that writes their signature in ink on the screen of credit card terminals at store checkouts?
- Why aren't garbage bag manufacturers issuing a credit to their customers, since you have to use part of their product to throw away the packaging their product came in?
- Who makes the call that Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Metallica are good candidates for Muzak in grocery stores
- Why produce in grocery stores is priced to the point where most of it sits and rots. Why not lower the price so most of it sells?

If you have flies in your kitchen, you're a pig.

They come with fresh fruit this time of year. If you have any apples, pears, bananas, or anything else on the counter, you have fruit flies.

To add to your store of knowledge, I tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich the other day with cheese wiz. It was nasty... I don't think cheese wiz is even a little bit made of real cheese now.

I don't eat fruit, thus I don't have that problem.

I learned that "shit" in the expression "shit for brains" isn't a verb. Or at least it didn't work for me. :(

what about booze? Drosophila are actually going after the fermented goodies, not so much the fruit, (you only see them hanging around old fruit) so you will definitely find them in your recycling container if you have any beer or wine bottles.

there is nothing piggish about having fruit flies around. Might as well blame someone for having crawlspace full of spiders.

Everyone is more narcissistic thanks to facebook. I've learned the skill of "Wow great 5/5 you deserve it! Cool Cake you made yesterday" when I actually don't care. Just because thats how facebook is now. People are getting more like this IRL too.
