that the fish meat in the "tuna" cans can be any of the various species... and some can contain lots of Hg, which can make you sick.

Summer may be over but it's still like summer where I live. It'll be 15 degrees out but if I go out anywhere it might as well be 30. Of course that's mainly because of my weight. :(

It seems to me, however, that when Halloween night gets here, it will either be really chilly or raining. Either way, it sucks if you're trick-or-treating and have to wear warm coats or rain gear over your costume. :)

In Finland there is no specific Finnish word for "please". Because of this Finnish people may sometimes forget to say "please" in English.

I prefer being a toaster.

The Chinese equivalents for "Radish" and "Turnip" are common nicknames for people in China.

that there are variants of English that sound completely like a foreign language and yet the speakers of those variants expect us to understand what they say... Their variants might as well be classified as different languages rather than variants of English.

If you arrange 4 pride flags a certain way, the triangular patterns will form a swastika. 8O

US flags that have Pride symbols on them have been burned in an infamous small town
in Oregon that has received national attention for its oppression of politically opposite beliefs.

That it's more fun to roam the stores looking for healthy food ideas than it is to rush home to watch TV in the afternoon hours.

Well, technically this was yesterday as it is now 02:11, but I only just got home from work.


I learned that I can no longer continue to be unarmed while being a delivery driver.

In Mexico people only eat tacos with soft shells and not crispy ones.

I like the soft shells better, anyway. :)
