Dog food-breast milk all in a days work this is so GROSS
Eating dog food and sipping breast milk sounds tasty, but it's a living for a research assistant in Manhattan, Kansas. Patricia Patterson works at the Sensory Anaylsis Center at Kansas State University and it's her job figuring out which doggie treats have the least amount of crumbs and the right consistency of breast milk. She eats, drinks and smells the item to make sure it's just right. Although most of the items she tests aren't meant for people, Patterson doesn't mind snacking on dog food
because it is "way cleaner and healthier than human food" GAG ME

AT&T Wireless: they just love that name
So, first AT&T was AT&T. Then it was AT&T Wireless. Then it was Cingular. Now, and I swear I'm not making this up, it's going back to being AT&T Wireless. The rebranding will cost $2 billion. The original rebranding (from AT&T Wireless to Cingular) cost $4 billion. Brain cells it takes to keep up with this ongoing insanity: 2 billion. Seconds it should take you to switch providers as soon as your rates go up to pay for all this asinine rebranding: 4, tops.

Hungary workers get shock at bottom of rum barrel
May 4, 9:49 AM (ET)
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel, a police magazine website reported.
According to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, workers in Szeged in the south of Hungary tried to move the barrel after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly heavy and were shocked when the body of a naked man fell out.
The website said that the body of the man had been shipped back from Jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return.
According to the website, workers said the rum in the 300-liter barrel had a "special taste" so they even decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home.
The wife has since died and the man was buried in a proper grave.

Is it true there used to be cocaine in Coca-Cola?
Indeed, a certain stimulant was present in the soft drink back in 1886, according to the Soda Museum, but probably in mild amounts. Coca-Cola was named after its two key ingredients -- coca leaves and kola nuts.
Coca leaves contain small amounts of cocaine, and people in the Andean region of South America have a long tradition of chewing them for their effects as a mild stimulant, appetite suppressant, and altitude sickness remedy. To make cocaine powder, a much stronger stimulant, coca leaves undergo elaborate processing that involves washes by kerosene and several chemicals.
Coca-Cola used syrup from the coca leaves that probably introduced trace amounts of the active substance into the drink. But concern about cocaine addiction grew in the early 20th century, and in the United States, the Harrison Act of 1914 banned the use of the drug in non-prescription products.
When technology improved enough to make it possible, Coca-Cola started using "spent" coca leaves, which go through a cocaine extraction process, rather than fresh leaves, for flavor. It gives a whole new meaning to "I'd like to buy the world a Coke," doesn't it? :lol:

"Alphabet' pickup line named the worst :devil:
Looking for a good pickup line? Forget, 'I want to arrange the alphabet and put U and I together" According to a pickup line poll by Yahoo! Personals, that's the worst pickup line ever, garnering 18 % of the total vote. However, 16% are more annoyed by "Help! I've fallen for you and I can't get up" 15 % cringe if someone says, "Pass the tartar suace, cause you're a great catch" (please)I've never heard that one before---- the same percentage that hates 'Jeeves, fetch me my hunting clothes, I've just seen a fox" (gag me) and 12 % dislike hearing "I'm cutting down on carbs, sugar, but I'll make an exception for you" ewwwww and only 4 % of Americans object to being picked up with "I hope your know CPR, cuz' you take my breath away" another please
