Bits and pieces from all over.

1. Which of these stories frightens you more? this or this? For completely different reasons, both scare the crap out of me.

2. Joe delivers the catchy title that $1M&K needs: "The Million Dollar Chance of a Knifetime."

3. The Pittsburgh area McDonalds are offering the following: Get your salad Pittsburgh-style for just one dollar more! For those of you not familiar, Pittsburgh style salads (usually steak, not Caesar, but sure, why not) with a handful of french fries placed on it. I apologize in advance if this gets exported.

4. Are we already at the point where no one cares about state quarters?

5. It's not a repressed memory, but it's painful none the less. Okay, just see if this phrasing sparks any memories.
"The geefle however cannot eat the nectarines because it has no elbows."

Of the people I've asked about this, a majority (okay 2 out of three) have not only had the sudden jolt of realization about what this is, but actually have described the experience of suddenly remembering it as painful. Not psychologically painful, physically painful, very short and intense, as if the neuron popped alive for the first time in ages, kind of like if you crack a knuckle that hadn't been cracked in a while (or shouldn't). Just odd, I guess.
