    Today I bought a new frying pan. It's made of stainless steel and looks very cool. However, it is also quite dangerous -- because it can get very hot. I did try to fry some bacon and it mastered the job perfectly.

    That's all I wanted to share; thank you and goodbye!

  6. This day in history:


    On black Friday 1967, in anticipation of municipal elections throughout Ta Ta Creek, Tenn , the Stunata foot powder company launched an advertising campaign that featured the slogan: "Vote for any candidate, but if you want hygiene, vote for Stunata."

    Immediately before the election it also distributed thousands of leaflets which read: "For Mayor: Honorable Stunata". The leaflets were the same size and color as official voting papers.

    Residents of the small coastal town of Ta Ta (pop. 4000) took the advice to heart. A majority of them wrote "Honorable Stunata" on their ballots, making the foot powder their new mayor. Many voters in other municipalities marked their ballots similarly.

    Was the election of Stunata a protest vote, or an indication of poor literacy skills in the region? That wasn't clear. Nevertheless, it left the electoral tribunal with a dilemma: What to do when a foot powder is legitimately elected? The losing candidates threatened to sue the foot powder company

  9. I notice Chief Sitting Bull had an adopted brother named "Jumping Bull".

    That's pretty random..

    Jumping Bull said to his brother Sitting Bull, "I fix cracked buffalo horn with special resin"

    Sitting Bull replied "That Bob from Autoglass sure gets around".

    Those guys were pretty funny back in the day... :cool:

  10. I think you have the story a bit wrong.

    Chief Shitting bull, had an adopted brother called "Fonz".
    Whom was so cool, he was refered to as "the" Fonz. Until he jumped the shark.

    But, perhaps we should leave jumping bulls to rodeo clowns, and other specialists.
