Even food that has passed its 'best before' date is still good to eat. I think people have stopped using common sense, and are relying on what I call the 'lawyer labels' to run their lives. I avoid milk that is past the date, as it usually goes bad, but for the most part, meat is perfectly...

This is hilarious. The RCMP put cameras in trees to take pictures of a suspected graffiti artist. Not only did they set them up with a flash (no, that wouldn't be obvious), but they didn't erase the memory cards in the cameras. I'm pretty sure that would violate all kinds of privacy laws...

Maybe you can't make this stuff up, but others have. It's pretty amusing, though.

Wow, Rupert Murdoch must be pizzed. I just heard that he's shutting down the News of the World as of this weekend, over the phone hacking scandal. Quote from News International:

Clarence Clemons died this past weekend. The E Street Band just won't be the same. An Appreciation: Clarence Clemons - latimes.com

This is weird. The Supreme Court has ruled that consent must be an ongoing state of mind...it comes from a case where a woman, who regularly engaged in choking/sex, complained about what her partner did to her while she was unconscious. So here's a warning to men - you must not participate...

This one is amusing:

You lose. I do understand, however, why you have problems. You don't understand the basics, if you're claiming that an igloo is a closed system. Enjoy yourself, it's a good hobby.

That's completely untrue. I can mail you a thermodynamics book if you need one.

If anyone thought you knew anything about science, your reponse should dispell that. You can't even grasp the meaning of what I wrote, so it's unlikely that you could understand anything scientific.

I didn't realize that a small greenhouse was a scientifically-accurate model for the earth and its atmosphere. Thanks for clearing that up.

We have one at my work. The amount of waste drives me crazy. There's a plastic bag, which includes two cardboard boxes; in each cardboard box are 7 plastic pods, each containing 2 tablespoons of coffee. Plus, the coffee is so-so. I've tried a variety of brands and types, but I much prefer...

Can we assume that the Conservative Party approves of terrorist organizations? From the Globe and Mail

Yes, indeed. I found the Winter Palace was lovely.

My brother and sister-in-law are fans of odd cheeses. They once bought some really intense cheese at the gourmet cheese shop in Toronto, then took the train back to Kingston...they noticed that other people on the train moved away to other seats...as they realized, because of the smell of the...

Have you ever been to North America? I've never eaten cheese in a tube like toothpaste. But then again, you might be confused by the concept of toothpaste.

If you like strong cheese, and are either in NB or Toronto, there is a place in NB that makes goat and sheep cheese, bergerie aux quatre vents, their cheese is sold in a specialty cheese place in Toronto, it's really, really good. Very strong flavour, but for those who like specialty cheeses...

But you have to make sure that you are burning hydrocarbons (or turning them into plastics) at a lower rate than they are being created, no matter how they are being created. What is your plan for that? At what rate are they being created?

I've never cared for the flavor of lamb; it can be good, and I've had very good lamb, I just don't care for the flavor.

Yeah, it's a great way to deal with cheaper, tougher cuts. You can do similar things with pork, toss in a beer, too.
