Oddities and Humor

Years ago there was lemon essence.
and more recently here "essence" type food flavorings were relegated to the liquior store section of supermarkets because the kids were buying them. MUCH MUCH cheaper than regular alcoholic drinks

A relative (an alcoholic relative) had nothing to drink one fine day. He took a swig of rubbing alcohol. It took him a good while to get his breath back. He learned a small lesson, but it didn't change him a bit.

punk had it coming.

Yes he did.

The 6 Most Important Things Humanity Just Plain Forgot

#5: The World's Largest Solid Gold Statue

I learned about scurvy in gradeschool.

Scientists have used the latest imaging techniques to look inside a python that had just swallowed a rat whole.

The resulting footage is part of a project using hi-tech scanning methods to explore animals' anatomy.

It took 132 hours for snake to fully digest the rat, the scientists said. Their work has revealed other strange insights into python digestion.

They presented the study at the Society for Experimental Biology's annual meeting in Prague, Czech Republic.

I somehow tuned an episode of Highway Patrol, with Broderick Crawford, this morning. It was interesting and humerous to see how these guys used a semi trailer to steal a computer. It took a year to build it at a cost of $100,000. They demanded a ransom of $100,000, reasoning that the company could lose a million in a year if they opted to build another one instead.

That is AWFUL, edgar. Talk about sick.

Hmmm, The Russians finally made it, and this guy sends neat messages.



Wheelock is one of three American astronauts living aboard the space station. Three Russian cosmonauts make up the rest of the outpost's six-person crew.

In the past, astronauts have said they cannot see the fireworks from space during the celebrations that traditionally accompany the Fourth of July holiday in the United States. Fireworks are also not allowed on the International Space Station because they can pose a fire risk, NASA officials have said.

so, Wheelock sent a 4th of July message to earth. Love it!

Thanks letty.

Sorry about the cross-post, Stephan.

I don't know all that sh#^t. I use a cell phone to make about five calls per week. And to tell time when working.

Cell phone? What's a cell phone?

This is why I "think" I'm a real vampire
They have no desire to use us as lab rats or slaves. Before reading any farther on this site, I highly suggest reading the knowing if you are a real Vampire page, and the finding a real Vampire page on this site first. This site is not made for poser vamps, close-minded people, or those who think that they are, or claim to be, some great mythological thing because they think the spirit of a vampire entered them at some time making them a vampire. We call these people posers, which they are; they are confused lost children. This site is not here for them in any way! It is for real vampires, curious people, and open-minded skeptics. THE BEST COMPLIMENT THAT YOU CAN GIVE TO THIS SITE, IS TELLING ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT

I just barely got weaned away from my land line.

You don't have one at all?

Land lines are for luddites and land lubbers. Arghh!

Nobody ever called me on the land line. Why pay for it?
