Found this while doing some research on a medical website at work today. This was in the header with the byline "With our Hip and Knee Implants, you can get back to doing what you love! Like SnowBoarding!".

Yep, if you love snowboarding, and dress like Oliver Twist, our implants can help you out!

That may be based in reality more than you think, apparently male kangaroos use their incredible arm muscles in fights for dominance. Specifically, they put their opponent into a headlock and choke them until they stop moving, whether or not they let them go before they die of asphyxiation is luck of the draw.

Yup. That might look cute, but Rule 1 of Roo Combat is to choke the other motherfucker out. Or kick the bastard's kidneys out through their back.

It's hilarious how nearly every cute animal has a real dark side. Victorians had a really warped sense of nature that has way outlasted them.

Next I'll tell you about the male Platypus and its venom that makes your blood feel like it's on fire, and can leave you over-sensitive to pain for months afterwards :eng101:.

You left out the best part: even morphine (the cure-all, as far as pain is concerned) doesn't do a drat thing to ease the pain.

Literally one of the things I miss the most since moving to the suburbs.

There's always some sort of "entertainment" on the subways. Acrobatics, music, awkward folks, angry folks, etc. On my daughters 3rd birthday, we were riding the A to Union from Mercer and there was a full blown Mariachi band playing in our car.

What's really weird is that none of those guys were together.

As a Brit, I can attest to this. When I stayed for 3 weeks in 'Murca in a bunch of airbnbs, I just got used to the fact that if I wanted a cup of tea, I had to get used to boiling my water in a saucepan, like an animal.

Wait... I thought it was just for the funny pic. Is it actually a thing, or were you just staying in unfortunate accommodation? I don't know what to believe any more. Do they even have toilet paper in America?

Americans drink COFFEE, which comes from a machine, either in their kitchen, or at a Starbucks. I can't remember the last time I saw a kettle.

We drag our asses across the carpet.

Every family I've met has had a tea kettle, though. Sweet tea is too important to the south.

How do you heat the water for you coffee in your own kitchen without a kettle? In a pan or does everyone own an espresso machine?

My friend tried to bake a cake but he mixed up the knob for the oven and the grill.

Heat water yourself? Like some kind of animal? No, you put water in the coffee maker and it does the heating. Basic coffee maker is like :10bux:

Most people who drink coffee have a coffee maker. The kettle is for when you use a french press, or if you prefer tea.

Most electric kettles in the UK pull ~2-2.5 kW, which would be close to blowing the circuit breaker in a typical US kitchen (or worse, get them to install a bigger circuit breaker on a circuit that can't actually handle that current and burn their house down). US electric kettles are consequently much more anemic and take longer to actually boil anything.

Most people own one of these things (or did until recently, when better coffee makers started gaining popularity):


But also, almost every home I have been to here in the US has a tea kettle of some kind, but not the electric kind you guys like.

I have a tea kettle and so do most Americans I've known. You're thinking of tea pots. Most of us throw the boiling water right into our mugs and steep the tea there. Tea pots are too much work for us, especially for a culture so used to instant coffee.

Here's a hint for brits and others: Simply don't put coffee in the coffee maker, run it, and then you have hot water for your tea.

Most gas stations also have a hot water nozzle on their coffee makers for tea weirdos.

They also usually have a selection of cold teas. And some variety of biscuits. And other stuff that actually tastes good.

Yeah, that's what where I thought the confusion may have been when I first read that picture, even as a Brit I don't know many people who own/use a teapot other than for decorative purposes.

I mean, WTF is wrong with using the microwave? Does it sap the water of nutrients or something?

Well, if you microwave your water exactly the wrong way, it will explode. Kettles don't do that.
