Crystals do heal people though. Ever since I've been carrying around this energy crystal that I bought from Sedona, AZ I have not had hand cramps. Basically it works by focusing the life energies from Sedona into the toxins in your hand that cause the cramps. Its all proven and totally works. Buy these crystals guys!

Do they work as good as my copper knee brace and my magnetic bracelet? That magnetic bracelet totally saved my sense of balance!

9 times out of 10 the guy has never even discussed it with her before hand, and the public proposal is to urge her to say yes.

If you aren't convinced that you and your partner love each other enough that the answer would be anything but "yes" even if you proposed in the middle of squeezing out particularly angry and boisterous shits, you aren't ready to get married. Not that it's a good idea to do that, but it's good to think about it before popping the question.

Hi everyone, Well its been a while but I decided to do a new pic. In this pic I am very sick, and in the ICU at the Hospital with Twilight Sparkle as the doctor. I am recieving Crystal treatment with the crystal solutions through the IV in my hand and the Central line, in my Jugular vien and this is causing my hands to grow very long and large, with large round joints, and long fingers. And as well I have the Catheter and the bag on my bed and I have the EKG leads on my chest and Pulse oximeter on my hand, Which goes to the moniter to show Twilight Sparkle my stuff like blood pressure, Oxygen and stuff. Now, Doctor Twilight sparkle is doing a Endotrachal Intubation on me. She is using the Laryngoscope to open my airways., So that she can put the tube down into my Lungs because I am too sick to breath on my own, And its connected to the Ventilater which delivers Crystal air to heal me, but it also makes my hands grow very large, and although I am unconsious from the Sidation I am still crying a bit because Im scared. Well, I hope you enjoy this new Pic from me.

While the banana flavor you're talking about is artificial, the reason it tastes so different from a "real" banana is because it's flavored like a Gros Michel banana, rather than the Cavendish banana that you're used to. Due to a banana plague in the 1950s, the Gros Michel was completely wiped out in the South American and African farms that exported to the US. The plant is apparently still grown in Thailand and exported throughout Asia, so the schadenfruede is that we don't get the better tasting banana here in the US :(

The dispute with lemonheads is probably due to there being two different lemonhead candies.

There's these, which suck


and there's these, which are delicious


The schadenfreude is on me for eating about 10 of those a day in high school and having layers of flesh in my cheeks slough off due to the acid. Then I did the same thing with warheads.

Scrub. Once when I went to college I found myself within blocks of a Smart & Final, where they sell foodservice items in bulk. I got a flat of Alexander the Grapes (this dates it, they weren't always called _______heads). Like 24 boxes. And ate them all over the course of about a weekend. I wedged each one into the same hollow between my canine teeth to break open the shell and get to the acid, per my usual routine. And by the end of the weekend I had dissolved the top layers of both lower canines. They were useless as teeth until years later when I got orthodontics and happened to need those same teeth extracted to make room anyway.

Thank you, thank you.

The thing is, that most of what they say is correct in the sense of electrical interference, shielding, etc. you do get grandees between components due to electromagnetic interference.

However, the amount it affects things at that level is so minuscule it's like wiping off your fruit at the grocery store before you weigh it, since the oils from residual fingerprints have a nonzero mass.

What on earth makes you think these people are measuring anything? The whole fun of the thing is seeing them invent terms like "warmth" and "3d imagery" to redefine measurable phenomena in unmeasurable terms.

Was the beginning of a special with a really interesting intro about ISIS destroying relics and historical sites because of religious fervor and other religious movements that have done the same over history.

Very recently Wil Wheaton had a blog post go viral about this very thing. Huffington asked him if they could reprint an article he wrote. He asked how much do they pay contributors, and they hemmed and hawwed, explaining they don't, but it's great widespread exposure for his work! He said no. The blog post talks about how the claim of "exposure" is a dirty business attempt and how no matter what you create, you should never let yourself be ripped off like that. In his case, he figured even at industry minimums per word he should be offered $260, which isn't much for a guy like him, but it's still more than zero.
