I know that.

But I didn't know that.

Hands are one of the most beautiful parts of the body, yet are incredibly frustrating to draw.

Horace Fletcher, the 19th century dietician who spawned the "Fletcherism" movement, mailed some of his own feces to a newspaper editor to prove that living by his dietary rules made one's excrement dry and odorless.

Huh! I didn't know that you play banjo. That's cool. My favorite song is "Dueling Banjos". Can you play a bit of it for me (MPH and Parsimony can duel together).

I am so glad that I didn't know that. And so disturbed that I do now. Yucky bioterrorist!

dkw, ElJay and Enigmatic each had a pygmy goat a few years back. The goats were named Rocky, Alex and Jinx. Can you guess which kid had which kid?

The other pets of our childhood were (not all at once): 2 dogs, 3 cats, 2 gerbils, 1 rabbit, several fish, and a few small frogs. KrabbyPatty never let me keep any of the snakes I caught, though.
Before we were born, though? They had a MONKEY! So totally not fair.

Parmesan Goldfish crackers make quite passable croutons when you're out and don't want to make any, but want some crunchy in your salad.

*giggles* I told my husband that he had a choice between a monkey and children. And since abstinence is the only 100% effective method of birth control...
It's pretty obvious what he chose. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Anyone who thinks poker takes no physical exerstion try sitting at a table for fifteen hours straight. Or go two hours without playing a single hand. Trying to stay on your A game that long is very tiring.

Dude. It's exausting to do anything (including nothing) for fifteen hours straight. Color me unimpressed with the physical prowess that poker demands.

Horace Fletcher, the 19th century dietician who spawned the "Fletcherism" movement, was known to some as the "Great Masticator." He held that chewing one's food to a liquid form before swallowing was beneficial to health by both limiting the amount of food ingested and making the digestive process easier.

If you've got a rash on your bum and wipe it following a visit to the toilet, it's painful. I'm going for extreme agony in this case.

Too much information! Too much information! Stop right this minute! It was "Tell me something I DON'T know", not "Tell me something no one wants to hear"
And please, I hope you are using protection. You are young to be messing around so, and you need to keep your wits about you.
How do you even have time for such extracurriculars when you are on Hatrack 24/7?

I don't use protection because I have no need for protection; since even if I buy a condominium of condoms, it will never get used because there's nothing I can use it as (except sleeping bags for mice).

Obviously!

The Foundation Trilogy was actually not written by Isaac Asimov. He stole the idea from Arthur C. Clarke before the latter could copyright his writings.
