I have created a sleuth miracle!

IT IS THE UNHIJACKABLE THREAD!

Go ahead and try, but this thread is about anything and nothing, all at the the same time!

This is the place where Al can talk about world domination, Crunch can worship David Hasselhoff, SS can try and find even more complicated questions for his pub quizzes, Nikkie can advertise for Tim Tams, cfm can troll for more Sharpie victims, JR can beg for the chance to win Bobo back, and bedazzling can be a way of life!

So go off, rant and rave, talk about anything, i don't care, I just wanted to see my avatar on the page (when its actually me anyways)

So go ahead, I dare you all to try and hijack me :)

Did you know that you can have a casket shipped to you overnight if you place your order by 2:00pm EST? Wow! That truly is amazing!

TODAY IN FOOD HISTORY
* National Cherry Popsicle Day

1728 Johann Heinrich Lambert was born. He proved that Apple pie was irrational. Oops - never mind - that was 'pi' that he proved was an irrational number.

1784 Stephen McCormick was born. Inventor and manufacturer of cast iron plow with removable parts.

1800 Felix Archimede Pouchet was born. A French naturalist, he was one of those who believed that life was created from nonliving matter in processes such as fermentation and putrification. Those flies and maggots, fungi, yeast and bacteria just appeared from nowhere. (He was wrong.)

1946 George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' was published.

1972 'Coconut' by Nilsson reached number 8 on the charts.

1978 Frankie Valli's 'Grease' reached number 1 on the charts.

note to parents and/guardians. the albatross thing has nothing to do with Jessica Alba.

I've heard this before, something about, 'he stayed alive by eating what he thought was albatross, but what was in fact tasty tasty meat from his shipmates, then killed himself out of hannibal-thecannibal related grief?

I have no idea whether the proprietors were hijackers or lowjackers. Whatever that means.

It's funny how the pneumonics got stuck in my head, but the information they were supposed to help me remember is lost to the ravages of time. lol

Blood flow thru the heart:
A rat in an rv went to see a lamb named pam in las vegas.

Cranial nerves in order:

(continued) I had just walked past the entrance of the backpackers- as a hitchhiker you never want to put out your thumbe before an entrance, intersection or driveway, otherwise, when cars slow down to turn, you think they slowed down for you, aiming for a little patch of road where there was enough gravel for a car to stop on. Location may be everything in Real Estate but I know it's everything in Hitchhiking. You never want to hitch just after cars are allowed to hit 100km, they'll never stop after just getting started. Bottom of hills are also are bad place. And you'll want to pick a bit of road where cars can pull over and stop. Other hitchers create a problem too, as with everything there is a certain type of etiquette. You have to be careful not to move on there turf. Now, logic may say that being first is everything. However, let's look at what goes on in people's minds:

"blah meeting blah fight with spouse blah." -These are the worst drivers, they don't even SEE the hitchhiker.

"Oh, a hitchhiker, GET A JOB YOU LOSER." -These ones are fun and are always given the oligitary finger after they pass.

"Oh, a hitchhiker (this is a couple one), should we pick him up dear?"
-This one can be good. They're often the ones that turn back and say "We saw you standing there and decided to turn around and pick you up."
OR "Nice one Dear, let's just invite a homicidial maniac into our car shall we??" -This I never got. There are always news stories in NZ about hitchhikers going missing, later to be found dead... but never the other way around. DICKS. Still, it's on this last sentence that most people DO turn around for me. Especially being a girl. That helps.

This last sentence is also why being first in a hitching line isn't good.
"Oh, a hitchhiker, should we/I pick him up?"
(This is also why putting out a thumb in an area that just went 100km is a bad idea... by the time they think that thought, they are miles away.)
"Oh, looks there's another."
