It seems to me that the proper way to celebrate national Pi day (held on 3.14) is to do a shot at 1:59.

Edit: Is there a type, or brand, of booze that would be appropriate to the next few digits?

Kamora Coffee liqueur is 53 proof (ie, 26.5% alcohol). That enough of a connection for you? I don't recommend drinking it in straight shots, though.

Good god, and he's still alive? Most would be dead after the second sandwich.... he must have the gullet of a god.

Nikita Krushchev once credited SPAM with the survival of the WWII Russian army. ''Without SPAM, we wouldn't have been able to feed our army,'' he said.

Bow before your SPAM gods.

You'll feel good about banging your head against the wall and fucking a pig, at the same time?

1. When hippos are upset, their sweat turns red.
It's not sweat, and it's not when they're upset. It's when they're in the sun too long.

4. The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets.
Their true purpose is sinister.

5. Every day 200 million couples make love, 400,000 babies are born, and 140,000 people die. (Definitely thinking this one is false.)
No idea about the sex bit, but the birthrate and deathrate are roughly accurate.

One would distract from the other. Which is the distraction really depends on which you enjoy more.

Human corpses? If so I am way below average.

The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”, uses every letter in the alphabet

In Cleveland it's illegal to catch mice without a hunting license.

In Texas (it may be another state) it is illegal to shoot a gun while having an orgasm.

In Florida, if an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle. (Why would someone be riding an elephant in Florida?)

It is also against the law to kiss your wife's breats in Florida. (Other peoples breasts are allowed)

In Rhode Island, any marriage where either of the parties is an idiot or lunatic is null and void.

That last one reminds me of a joke; The Judge said to Micky Mouse "You can't divorce from Minnie just because she is crazy" To which Micky replied "I didn'y tell you she was crazy I told you she was fucking Goofy"

In Texas (it may be another state) it is illegal to shoot a gun while having an orgasm.

But then how will people know that I just gave my gf or wife an orgasm?

Well... The only correct answer is:
How I want a drink? Alcoholic, of course, after the heavy chapters involving quantuum mechanics.

Hint: Count the letters in each word.

Interesting, that's pretty freaky shit your into.

I'd say the relaxing nature of blue, and the aggrevating nature of red, would have to do with where they lie on the electromagnetic spectrum, and their frequencies. Just my thoughts.

1. Gunpowder was invented by Taoist monks trying to create an elixer of immortality.

2. Alfred Nobel was an arms manufacturer who invented dynamite. The Peace prize is named after a man who made tools of destruction... Irony anyone?

3. The Byzantines created and perfected an early form of the flamethrower called Greek Fire. It was such a closely guarded military secret that to this day, historians and scientists still don't know exactly how they created it.

I got that fact in 2006 when I was the webmaster for NSVI.org

Really?? Share. Spam is one of my favorite foods, it's on level with chocolate mousse cheesecake (yah, I'm that poor).

I have a "Seven Things Not To Eat" list.
1. Fried Foods.
2. Any type of candy.
3. Non-natural salt. (As in not already found in what you're eating.)
4. Anything cooked by someone's grandmother.
5. Ice Cream. (For some reason, I don't think this is a candy. :eek2:)
6. Butter.
7. Fast food.

The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets.

Their true purpose is sinister.

Oh. We're quoting the Question from JLU: Question Authority! I love that episode.

Let's see:

Topically applied Fluorine does not prevent tooth decay. It does, however, render teeth visible from spy satellite.

There WAS a magic bullet. It was forged by Illuminati mystics to hide 'the truth.'

What if you don't?

Then we'll all be the poorer. C'mon, we all secretly need to know what makes Wilgrove tick.

If he does that, I'll post a link to my personal collection of idiots jumping off bridges. In one, they file off like sheep. SHEEP! :p

You're missing out on all the best foods that way. Well, except #4, you can't trust grandmothers. They tend to develop all these weird ideas about what is appropriate to use as pastry filling.

But I do what I'm doing to lose weight. I'm enlisting in the Army next February when I turn eighteen, and I want to lose another few inches off of my stomach before I go. I'm actually undecided on what I want to do. Either be a tank crewman, or a green beret.
Anyways, ON TOPIC.
