HA! Is it real? I mean as in not staged?

AFAIK it's real, although some have argued that it was taken with a telephoto lens which makes it appear that everyone's bowing down to the cardboard commandments, when in reality they weren't.

IORelatedN,

A Memphis church that claims a membership of 12,000 will unveil a 72-foot-tall statue during Fourth of July services.

The Statue of Liberation looks a lot like the Statue of Liberty, but the famous torch is replaced by a cross. Instead of the inscription about giving the lady the tired and poor, there are Roman numerals for the Ten Commandments.

Anyone here use agave as a sweetener? Any tips?

msbelle does, or at least has in the past, I'm pretty sure.

Now I can narrow down what fried potato product I want, and it's those damn brie and truffle disco fries. I should take comfort in the fact that I had both brie and potato chips in my lunch, but yet I do not.

There are uses for agave besides tequila? ::blink blink::

Are they aware the Statue of Liberty comes from... France??

Also, I was under the impression Jesus was actually a big fan of the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses.

Yikes!

NAPLES, Italy - A 74-year-old Italian grandmother who bought a sack of potatoes at her local market found a live grenade among the spuds.

“I found a bomb in the potatoes,” Olga Mauriello said.

“I went to the market to buy some potatoes, and that’s where the bomb was. But this bomb was covered in dirt, and I put it in water and got all dirt off. And then I realized, ‘It’s a bomb!’”

Police said the pine cone-shaped grenade, which had no pin and was still active, was the same type used by U.S. soldiers in Europe in World War II. Authorities believe the mix-up happened at a farm in France, where the grenade was plucked from the ground along with potatoes.

To the woman’s relief, police and explosives experts in the small town of San Giorgio a Cremano, near Naples, recovered the grenade and safely detonated it on Wednesday.

::rethinks plan to make hash browns for dinner::

Just take the sack of potatoes and hurl them one at a time into an empty lot. No explosions? You're good. You might want to yell Incoming!

And if there is an explosion, probably saves some time grating.

Imagine that in a potato gun.

Those use air pressure, right?

thwoopBANG!

Yeah, I do. What application?

I use it instead of sugar or honey in beverages, generally. About a third less of it than I'd use of the other. Haven't tried it for anything but that yet, though.
