Monkeying Around
Careerbuilder.com has Monkey Mail It's really quite silly, but I don't really see how it fits into the whole careers thing – unless you want to send the talking monkey to your boss yelling "I QUIT!" *snigger****

Bad Margarine!
I do NOT use margarine - it's butter or dry, baby. Did you know that margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys? When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they came out with some clever flavorings and added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.
DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter? Read on...this gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.
And now, for Margarine...
Very high in trans fatty acids.
Triples risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol).
Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
Here's the most disturbing fact...Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC.
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the
substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic.
Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Holy Batwings, Soldier Boys!
Now this is just too cool - "elite special forces troops being dropped behind enemy lines on covert missions are to ditch their traditional parachutes in favour of strap-on stealth wings." They can glide in from high altitudes covering up to 120 miles making their approach practically undetectable. Sweet!

WHY WHY WHY?
I've never been one to mix weird combinations of food together. In fact, I'm down right picky about this. When I was a kid, I would freak out if the portions of food on my plate would collide. ...and sweet things don't go with meat unless it's sweet & sour sauce. Some people like these weird combinations, but not I.
Case in point: the Luther Burger Not in A MILLION YEARS will you catch me eating one of these. *ack*
How stoned do you have to be to invent something like this?
"duuuude, we don't have any buns. Oooooh, we've got Krispy Kremes - that'll work! Duuude!"
Another fine example:
The Monte Cristo
It's a friggin' french toast sandwich!? Blargh! That's just WRONG.
I can't even stomach those McGriddle things. It just doesn't compute. Oh well - to each his own, I suppose.
