Meatwave posted:Can anyone tell me why kangaroos are so ripped? I've been searching variations of "why are kanagroos so ripped?" and all it returns are hits on body building forums going "holy poo poo that kangaroo is jacked". My whole life I've never heard anything about kangaroos being ripped as hell but every picture I see of one lately the loving thing looks like its on steroids. It's all about the ladies, apparently: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-24/research-shows-link-between-kangaroo-arm-muscles-and-their-fema/4840710

NuminaXLT posted:Aren't most generics basically the same as their brand name but cheaper? My wife worked for a food company, and stuff they'd sell under their own brand and stuff they sold to other companies as generics came off the exact same production line. Ed: As to why they do it, it's all about economy of scale. They can make far more than what they can sell under their own brand. Making extra as generic reduces the unit cost, so they make more money on their own, as well as what they sell to the generic seller. There tends not to be a lot of overlap between people who buy by brand and people who buy by price, so the company doesn't cannibalize it own sales much, and sells more and makes more money overall by supplying the generic market.

benito posted:I was looking up the background of the name "Musselman" as found in the US. It's not a Muslim name but either a Swiss woodcutter or someone who fought Muslims. Anyway, this picture jumped out: According to the linked biography, Henry Musselman died in 1834, aged 52, before photography was invented. That looks like a water-damaged print of someone in his 80s from about 50 years later.

Johnny Aztec posted:In the permafrost, in like Sibera and poo poo, there exist perfectly preserved mammoth carcasses. Researchers have, at least once, cut out bits, and grilled them a mammoth steak. The permafrost kept the meat viable all this time. Apparently as steak it's pretty bad. Since most of the mammoths didn't freeze immediately upon dying, much of their meat is actually rotten and not edible. A few people have found some in decent shape and grilled it up. No surprise that they thought it tasted like steak that had been left in the freezer too long. Somebody cut some 30,000-year-old bison up for a stew a few years back, and deemed it acceptable for that purpose, anyway.

beato posted:I didn't even think the US used the word pop to describe fizzy drinks, I thought it just meant old man over there. "Pop" is used a lot in the northern midwest and northeast (Michigan to New York, roughly). Soft drinks were originally sold in bottles with cork stoppers and a metal bail. Remove the cork produced a pop, and they were known as pop bottles. Then metal capping was invented, but the name stuck. Edit: Now with pictures! Far left is the original pop bottle.
