The next day the rabbit comes into the butcher shop again and asks "Do you have any carrots?" The butcher says "I told you yesterday this is a butcher shop we sell only meat. Now stop coming in here asking for carrots."
The next day the rabbit comes into the butcher shop again and asks "Do you have any carrots?"
Now the butcher is pissed and says "NO,We don't have carrots! If you come back again I'll nail your ears to the wall."
The 4th day comes and no rabbit.
The 5th day comes and no rabbit.
The 6th day comes and the rabbit comes in and asks the butcher, "Do you have any nails?" He says "No.I don't have any nails." Then the rabbit asks, "In that case do you have any carrots?"

I was looking at the TVs as I passed and thought the one I was looking at was 32" or 36" ...nope 50". Wth. They looks so much smaller than what they are. The thinness and such Im guessing fools the brain. I grew up on a tv the size of a washing machine that was 25" and thought it was huge. My own tv was 19" and I felt it was big. When I see a 20" monitor now I think its so small and wonder how I ever watched tv across the room.

Vancouver’s KISS-FM radio station 104.9 has not stopped playing Rage Against the Machine’s song “Killing in the Name” for the past 10 hours after two beloved morning show DJs were laid off on Tuesday.

Rolling Stone tuned into the station Wednesday afternoon and it was still playing the 1992 track on loop, only stopping to have two DJs mimic Zack de la Rocha’s grunts in the song — “A little lower… close enough” said a female DJ to her partner. The memorable grunts come before the singer’s scathing outro of “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me,” which of course was left off the radio replays.
...
On Wednesday morning, Tom Morello retweeted a fan who pointed out the radio protest. “Pop radio station in Vancouver laid off all of their staff yesterday,” read the tweet. “Whoever is on the controls this morning has been playing Killing In The Name Of on repeat since 6am (it’s now 9:30). @KevinLimOnAir @Sonia_Sidhu It’s beautiful.”

/ Lays' tiny little selection-of-flavors scurries away in fear.

I think he's in his sixty's now. Anyrate his voice was really bad. Harsh and low volume. His material was okay but not his best but I had such a hard time understanding and it took away from his performance.

The agency issued a proposed rule in 2013 after some data suggested that long-term exposure to certain active ingredients used in antibacterial products — for example, triclosan (liquid soaps) and triclocarban (bar soaps) — could pose health risks, such as bacterial resistance or hormonal effects.
