I stepped on a sand spur in my yard on the way to the beach and now I've got one needle stuck in my foot.

ahotpoet,

Gütiger Himmel, my bad - did not read it thoroughly. "Unser" is perfectly fine. And I apologize for the misspelling of your screen name ;-)!

A giraffe's tongue is 18 to 20 inches long and blue-black.

A cow gives nearly 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime.

If someone tells you what a sand spur is then it becomes useful information. For that you need a new thread. ;-)

Another from the animal kingdom, but I don't want to get this thread pulled because of graphic detail and perhaps a "no no word" or two, so instead, anyone interested in how female hyenas give birth...through an organ normally attributed only to the other sex (sort of)...take a look at this link: http://tinyurl.com/ltlpz

OUCH!!

Can anyone tell me what breed of dog was in the Harrison Ford movie Firewall? Seemed like a safe place to ask before I start some specified search. Thanks.

Re: Firewall pup-"A mixed-breed terrier named “Boomer” played the role of the Stanfields’ dog, “Rusty"....

I hope this was not too useful

Scarlett~ thanks, and it was totally useless-NOT, lol.
Hey, now that bathing suit season has arrived, does anyone have any decadent fudge recipes they'd like to share?
Do people still wear pantyhose?
Can I use Preparation H in place of Botox near my eyes?
Should I have just one more glass of wine tonight? J.

No fudge recipes but...there are some fried pickle recipes somewhere on this board...everybody swears that fried pickles are really good!
Fried pickles...fried corn on the cob...fried twinkies...fried snickers (does that count as a fudge recipe?)...

More useless tidbits:
I haven't packed for my trip this Friday to London. Yikes!

Hm...fried pickles and fried junk food? Sounding yummy. Perhaps it's time for a near midnight snack?

Oh, what about fried fudge?

Fried fudge? Ahem. A line has been crossed. Fudge is nothing but fat and sugar chemically combined in a special, special way. No need to deep-fat fry it.

In Fairbanks, Alaska, in the summer, the sun rises and sets in the north (not due north, but near it).

This is very confusing to tourists.
