      I wonder if Apple has monthly meetings on ways they can make iTunes worse, or if it just happens organically?

      You can tune an engine, a radio, or a musical instrument, but you can't tun(e)-a fish...

      M. Night Shyamalan should make a movie without a plot twist to really throw us off.

      After years of being an adult, I wouldn't mind having a purpose as well defined and easily executable as "You pass butter.".

      Having seen head and neck injuries with and without helmets first hand, I'd rather be called a *kitten* and wear a helmet thanks.
      ..and I was born in the 80's.

      I'm not knocking head and neck injuries cuz they certainly are nothing to laugh about. I just thought the meme was funny and gave me a chuckle. As a kid, I had no cares. But now that I'm older, of course I prefer to be more safe.

      from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice

      "The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
      It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven..."

      But I ask you....if the quality of mercy is not strain'd, how do you keep it from getting lumpy?

      Something is seriously wrong with the education system when the most common adult nightmare is that you're still in school.

      We have both Cee..raisins are larger in appearance..sultanas darker ..

      In the USA and Canada, the name "raisin" is applied to all dried grapes, so that the breakfast cereal known as "sultana bran" in Australia and the United Kingdom is called raisin bran in the United States andCanada.[2]

      Technically Cee I guess you are correct....you would call our sultanas raisins..

      Here you can buy boxes of sultanas or raisins..both available
