Comment Super-sized or Over-Sized (Score 1) 532

As a European, I remember going into my first cinema in LA and as it was a hot day, deciding to get a drink to sip on during the film. I asked for a small coke but watched the counter assistant pick up a large, circular container. "No, no! I just wanted a small coke, not a bucket of popcorn" "Sir, this is the cup for a small coke..."

~~ I even know one person who actually expressed that his ideal send off would be for his friends and loved ones to cook and eat his flesh. ~~


  1. don't bury me if I should die
    I don't want my bones to lie
    six feet under - six feet down
    covered by unfeeling ground
    please don't leave me here alone
    with nothing but a cold, hard stone
    a name, two dates and nothing more
    don't leave me for the worms to gnaw
    instead
    peel off my useless skin
    and expose the meat that lies within
    chop me, slice me, mince and dice me
    mix me with those herbs and spices
    turn me into sausages
    and invite my friends round for the feast
    lay me down on smoking Teflon
    hear me sizzle as I fry
    make my headstone mashed potato
    warm and fluffy, piled up high
    smother me in steaming gravy
    let onions be my funeral wreath
    give the mourners knives and forks
    and tell the priest to cry "let's eat!"
    so succulent!
    such tender Tim!
    I never knew he had such taste!
    and he made so many sausages
    let's have some more - a shame to waste
    eat heartily my faithful friends
    for this is how I want to end
    don't bury me if I should die
    if there's a heaven - let me fry!

I actually thought about that. However, there are very few cost effective methods of waterproofing paper that work

Tetrapacks seem to work quite well at keeping liquids in for a reasonable cost. If it can keep liquid in, it can surely keep liquid out too.

Comment What test? (Score 4, Informative) 489

exam data shows...

18 percent of the students who took the exam ...

some states where not a single member of one of these groups took the test last year ...

etc., etc. if you're wondering what the hell test is being talked about, you'll need to check the actual article to find it's the Advanced Placement computer science exam.
