To my knowledge chocolate gets a white discoloration/residue that has no bearing on it's taste. I think the butterfat content in real chocolate can go rancid but who leaves chocolate uneaten long enough to find out? :D

Teacher: Class, it's an interesting linguistic fact that in English, a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language in which a double positive can form a negative.
Student, "Yeah, right."

2003 truths
You know you are living in the year 2003 when:
1. Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they do not have e-mail.
2. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
3. Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screen saver.
4. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
5. Every commercial on television has a web site address at the bottom of the screen.
6. You buy a computer and 3 months later it's out of date and sells for half the price you paid.
7. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go get it.
8. Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase would be a hassle and take planning.
9. You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.

FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT AROUND IN 1957, SEE WHAT YOU MISSED!!!
The following were some comments made in the year 1957:
(1) "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, its going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20.00."
(2) "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long when $5000 will only buy a used one."
(3) "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous."
(4) "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?"
(5) "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."
(6) "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage,"
(7) "Kids today are impossible. Those ducktail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls,"
(8) "I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying damn in "Gone With The Wind," it seems every new movie has either Hell or damn in it."
(9) "I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas."
(10) "Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday that they will be making more than the President."
(11) "I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now."
(12) "It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet."
(13) "It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work."
(14) "Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more, those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorces at the drop of a hat."
(15) "I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business."
(16) "Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to Congress."
(17) "The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on."
(18) "There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel."
(19) "No one can afford to be sick any more, $35.00 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood."

Signs of The Times
When I was a kid adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning uphill both ways through year 'round blizzards carrying their younger siblings on their backs to their one-room schoolhouse where they maintained a straight-A average despite their full-time after-school job at the local textile mill where they worked for 35 cents an hour just to help keep their family from starving to death!
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! But...
Now that I've reached the ripe old age of thirty-five, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so effin' easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a gawd-d@mned Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet -- we wanted to know something, we had to go to the gawd-d@mned library and look it up ourselves!
And there was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen! ... and then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the effin' mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
And there were no MP3s or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to go to the gawd-d@mned record store and shoplift it yourself! Or we had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over some part of it and 'f' it all up!
You want to hear about hardship? You couldn't just download porn! You had to bribe some homeless dude to buy you a copy of "Hustler" at the 7-11! It was either that or j-off to the lingerie section of the JC Penney catalogue! Those were your options!
We didn't have fancy sh-- like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was it could be your boss, your mom, a collections agent, your drug dealer, you didn't know!!! You just had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
And we didn't have any fancy Sony Play station videogames with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and "Asteroids" and the graphics sucked a$$! Your guy was a little square! You had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win, the game just kept getting harder and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!
When you went to the movie theatre there no such thing as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height! A tall guy sat in front of you, you were screwed!
And sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 20 channels and there was no onscreen menu! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
And there was no Cartoon Network! You could only get cartoons on Saturday morning... D'ya hear what the 'f' I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK, you spoiled little b-----ds! That's exactly what I'm talking about!
You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled, I swear to God! You guys wouldn't last five minutes back in 1984!

Solution to nosy party guests, take everything out of your Medicine cabinet in the bathroom and replace with empty cans or bottlessabotage the shelves so that when the door is opened by that one nosy shi@ everything falls out and makes a loud noise, alerting all to the a hole who just HAD to look!!! I have actually done that with some of my wifes family, with her blessing i might add, she knew that one of my in laws would go for the medicine cabinet, when the shelves fell we all walked over to the bathroom door and waited and listened to them yes them, my sister in law and her boyfriend were trying to snoop and we got em red handed trying to put everything back together. It's fun to see the looks on folks faces... MVG

A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package; what food might it contain?
He was aghast to discover that it was a mouse trap!
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning, "There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house."
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me; I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mouse trap in the house." "I am so very sorry Mr. Mouse," sympathized the pig, "but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, "Like wow, Mr. Mouse, a mouse trap; am I in grave danger, Duh?"
So the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected to face the farmer's mouse trap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.
The snake bit the farmer's wife.
The farmer rushed her to the hospital.
She returned home with a fever.
Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.
His wife's sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have
produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out of the
body to squirt blood 30 feet.
A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to
death.
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to
its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.
The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping
the length of a football field.
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
Butterflies taste with their feet.
The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than
left-handed people.
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
Starfish have no brains.
Polar bears are left-handed.
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

HOW LIFE SHOULD BE!
The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends.
I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time.
And then you die. What's that? A bonus?
I think the life-cycle is all backwards.
You should die first and get it all over with.
Then you live in an old age home.
You get kicked out when you're too young.
You get a gold watch.
You go to work.
You work forty years until you're young enough
to enjoy your retirement.
You do drugs, alcohol and party.
You get ready for high school.
You go to grade school and become a kid.
You play. You have no responsibilities.
You become a little baby & go back into the womb.
You spend your last nine months floating...
Then, you finish off as an orgasm.
I like it.

Lets face it...
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.
We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find
That Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea
Nor is it a pig.
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.
If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)
That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this prose
It ends.

COCA COLA IS NOT JUST A DRINK!
To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub
the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminium foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan; wrap the ham in aluminium foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the dripping to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains.
It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

Coke/Pepsi Extreme Happenings
There was a competition in an
University "Who can drink the most Coke?". The
winner drank 8 bottles and died on the spot because too much carbon dioxide in the blood and not enough oxygen. From then on, the principal banned all soft drinks from the university canteen.
Someone put a broken tooth in a bottle of Pepsi and after just 10 days it had dissolved! Teeth and bones are the only human organics that stay intact for years after death. Imagine what the drink must be doing to your soft intestines and stomach lining.

Law #1 : You can never tell which way the train went by looking at the track.
Law #2 : Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
Law #3 : Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand.

Simplicity
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion eveloping a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C.
The Russians used a pencil.
Moral of the story
Don't be complicated. Most of times, something simple would do.

If adults commit adultery, do infants commit infantry?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian consume?
If olive oil is made from olives, what do they make baby oil from?
AND JUST TO REALLY GIVE US SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:
If pro and con are opposites, is congress the opposite of progress?

Why is it that considering I lose a substantial handful of hair everytime I shampoo it, I don't appear to be balding at all? :idea: It still looks like my hair is growing longer. :confused: Why aren't there instead a bunch of new growth short hairs where the longer hairs that fell out used to be? :confused:
Maybe I should ask "God" lol! :D I'm going hmmmmm, here. :D

What about Smarties? I've eaten them after they've sat around for a couple of years and they still tasted fine.
By the way, the Pop-tart is the only food you can put a stamp and address on and send through the mail. :)

My understanding is that Smarties were first made in Canada but I think they are available in the USA now and have been for a long time? :idea:
In case not ...
M&M "chocolate melts in your mouth not in your hands", the chocolate is richer and the candy shell is thicker. Smarties are bigger, more colorful, less rich, thin coating, and will melt within seconds of human contact :eek: both are wonderful tatsty treats ... I actually prefer M&M's unless they ever come out with a Smarties dark chocolate :idea: :)

Comfort foods are tough to turn away but it's better to remove or reduce what you need comforting from. In my experience this has been so. I hope you'll share your "ego pics" ;) :) WHEN you've reached your goal or when you're close enough to it even. :)
