I memorized all the words to the Pramble to the Constition in third grade and still remember it at age 35 thanks to School House Rock.

I one evening had a 30 minute discussion with a male friend in Italy regarding catalatic convertors..the entire conversation was in Italian!

I can't even carry on a conversation about catalatic convertors in English for heavens sake..in fact I am not even sure how to spell it, obviously.

All that wine and then lots of limoncello certainly made me clever for 30 minutes!

Faina,
You mean useful travel related info like , "what NOT to name your baby if you decide to go into labour in Africa"? or say,
"How to clear kitchen counter clutter while vacationing in Delft" ?
Who knows...it might be interesting indeed...

How many people measured their foot and the space between wrist and elbow crease after reading Intrepid's post? How many went on eating their dill pickle potato chips?

Isn't that why one buys a Porsche. . . to increase the chances?

More useless information: Horses can't throw up.

After reading the FFR&R thread I want to try "fried pickles". Just don't know, do I fry fresh cucumbers or pickles out of a jar?

Faina,
Would you believe it...I had the same question after I read that post. How exactly do you fry a pickle?

Wait...wait!!! Nobody answer!! Let's save all the answers for next week's FRYday useful info post!

More useless info : killer whales never fully sleep. Half of their brain goes to sleep while the other half remains awake.

The '04 Porta Grand Reserve (Bio, Bio Valley, Chile) Pinot Noir may be the best bang for the buck in the Americas.
Think a CA Pisoni PN for $12.US.

A western big eared bats ear is half the length of its body.

You laugh about the fried pickles now, but wait until you've had one -- you'll want more!
