    When you buy chocolate milk instead of making your own you are buying the lower grade milk. The milk with a little blood and puss in it is usually made into chocolate milk.

    The reason "the real joke is always in the comments" is because it's way easier to add comedy than to create it from nothing. This is why your hilarious friend can't just go on stage and do stand up.

    When you scan a barcode, it's scanning the white parts between the black lines, not the actual black lines.

    Chocolate facts: 1. The average adult human would have to eat about 11 lbs of chocolate to die from ingesting too much chocolate. 2. Chocolate is the perfect vehicle to deliver poisons to an unsuspecting person.

    those thoughts together r scary!

    When avocados first came to the UK they were labelled "avocado pears" so people thought they were a new dessert and ate them with custard.

    Japanese scientist Mitsuyuki Ikeda from the Okayama Laboratory doesn't believe in human waste. He thinks that's perfectly good protein you're sending out to sea, and he's found a way to extract it, mix it with steak sauce and create a fecal meat.

    Them Japanese doh...

    Apparently, Japanese scientist Mitsuyuki Ikeda from the Okayama Laboratory. :)

    Recycling human waste into food or other will be a thing of the future. Especially in space. It makes me think of the book, Ender's Game.

    Hunter-gatherers made these handprints about 9000 years ago in "Hands Cave" in Argentina. Its almost as if they are trying to reach to us from the past, almost.. Each with their own personality, dreams, hopes.. Nobody knows what it means really but I thought it was cool.

    Cool :smiley: Looks like they're almost all left hands too

    Not really. It does prove that their paint brush was in the dominant hand. Some in their right and some in their left.

    think he thought you said "they are left handed", whilst you said those are all left hands. Small confusion only :smile:

    zippers became fashionable as a closure device for men's flys in 1937. Since then they have been zipped and unzipped trillions of times....
