True, by try convince Republicans of that and they'll say the study is biased or false.


I learned out of all the businesses that tend to do well regardless of economic factors happens to be the video gaming industry.

McDonalds' Caesar salad is more fattening than their hamburger.

Gary Lineker pooed himself in an England versus Ireland match 8O :lol:

I asked my dad if this was true or not and he said he didn't know. My dad is never interested in that sort of thing. I looked it up on YouTube and it's true :lol:

That a great deal of online resumes/applications tend to go through what is known as an Applicant Tracking Software process, often resulting in a person(s) said documentation as mentioned above simply winding up in the garbage or never being noticed by HR at all..

That today is White Day in East Asian countries. In those countries on girls and women traditionally give chocolate and other gifts to the guys on Valentine's day, but a month later, on March 14th, the guys give treats to the girls and women. As the name of the day implies, it's traditionally white things, like white cake and white chocolate and marshmallows.

Betty Boop is supposed to be only 16 years old. 8O

That wouldn't sit well these days, even when they ended up having her dress and act like a housewife because of the censorship. A 16-year old doing domestic housework without her parents around, and doesn't appear to be in school.

And she also was originally a dog, but I already knew that. :)
