Apparently where he says "smoother than a fresh dry skippy" in the song Uptown Funk, the line is actually "smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy."
Like Skippy peanut butter. :mrgreen:

In Ireland people traditionally eat savory roast chicken or pink bacon on St. Patty's Day. Corned beef and cabbage is more of an Irish-American dish.

Good to know. Not only am I teetotal and the only beer I touch is the root variety, but I really hate corned beef and cabbage and most other "Irish" foods. But I love roast chicken. :heart: I don't think I'll be eating any tomorrow, though. All I have right now are some frozen chicken nuggets, and no bacon. :(

The future tense in Spanish keeps the verb ending in order to form it.

In the North American version of Zootopia there is a news reporter who is a moose. In the Chinese version he's a panda. In the Japanese version he's a tanooki. And in the Australian version he's a koala.

Funny how the movie has all these animal species from around the world living together, but they changed one animal to whatever native creature humans of different countries are more familiar with.

meiotic crossing over does not occur between sister chromatids, but between homologous chromosomes.

the blue wire that comes off of the distributor in v20 camrys (camries?) with 3S FE engines, where the ignition coil is inside the distributor, is most likely the one used for splicing into when adding an aftermarket tachometer. the color code is used by isuzu and lots of other japanese manufacturers have used it.


also learned just now: my browser recognizes "isuzu" as a word, but not "chromatid".

When you ask someone to marry you, you instantly get lots of sex.
