Funnily enough while in Adelaide my friends and I are planning on going on a shooting rage.

This is how I read this at first.

I just have to say, Skybeard and His Regular Props somehow strikes me as a band name I have to add to the List.

I am 97% certain it is simply the shadow of the building.  It originates from the base of the building!  And why would they build a bridge to Hawaii from Canada?

Judging any person, of any race, based on anything other than knowing them is impossible. But do we teach our children this? To understand people as individuals, and not as members of some group or ethnicity? Not really. We've just shifted from a society that judged people based on race to one that pretends not to.

Goodness.  I don't know if it's the late hour or what, but this seems like an important realization.  How many people do I know who would preface some remarkably racist thing with a comment such as, "not that I'm racist, but..."

There has been some grungy stuff on my mushrooms.  Who wouldn't wash them?  You can't say water is bad for fungus!  I would be frightened of cooking unwashed mushrooms.

But yeah, I was going to come in here earlier and say how a teaspoon of solute, no matter what it is, is going to do basically nothing for the boiling point -- but everyone's already gotten to that.  Salt to slightly season the pasta or whatever does make sense, and it's not like it hurts.  But honestly, I've never seen a difference one way or another.  Just stir it occasionally and keep the heat at the right temperature and you'll be making A+ pasta.  I always just cook it until it has the right consistency, but some people swear by specific cooking times, and I don't understand why.  Different amounts of pasta will cook differently, and even the quality of the pot can affect it.

But pasta + sauce cooking suggestions?  There's a million things you can do.  Try every conceivable combination of vegetables and fungi, such as onions, shallots, peppers, spinach, asparagus, zucchini, cucumbers, portobellos, etc.  Fresh parsley makes so many things better, but you've got to figure the right amount.  Personally, the greatest thing you can do is sautee peppers and onions in a creamy vodka sauce with radiatore pasta and a bit of cayenne.  I could have that every night.

Double music is awesome!  Open up a bunch of instances of winamp, and start a whole bunch of stuff in each.  Mix a slow, quiet song with something fast but sparse, along with some instrumentals.  Hilarious!

...um and no I have not done cocaine.  I just think we should not shoot down his idea right away.

So the next step is to refer to giving cans as applying the Categorical Imperative on them.
