Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So it looks like we've got a severe thunderstorm watch in Central & Southern New England today, including a chance of large hail and damaging winds (more damaging with the large hail I would venture to guess).
Better break out the football helmets, New England-istas - it's Snowpocalypse II: The Iceball Strikes Back.
So it looks like China is taking the pet food and toothpaste scandals pretty seriously:
When the former head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was caught violating the law, he was charged with two misdemeanors. When the former director of China's State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) was convicted on corruption charges, he was sentenced to death.
Zheng Xiaoyu and his family and associates allegedly took bribes amounting to more than five million yuan, about $650,000 in U.S. terms.
Wow. That's unexpected.
Wow. I wonder if it'll be carried out.
Which makes me tangentially wonder who the richest person executed in the US was. And then the average net worth of those on death row, and associated statistics.
I have a migraine. I can't believe I'm startled by this, and I can't believe I'm trying to work out what to do about it. I mean other than work. I've already skipped a luncheon which will no doubt look weird, but I have gotten stuff accomplished.
And thanks for the info on pounds.
You're welcome, but I just realised I gave it to you wrong! Ein Pfund, one pound, is 500g, so half of that would be 250g. Sorry.
Going to bed now.
Michelle Trachtenberg got fugged
It looks like she's wearing cut-off hospital scrubs.
FNL got the most nominations of any series for the TV Critics Association awards. They got five overall - and NBC was the most nominated network - with 13.
cut-off hospital scrubs in bright red ... which might be practical, but ew
One more German baking question, for anyone still around --
I've got a recipe for Berliners. So far, it says to mix together 500g flour and 20g yeast, then mix together 100g sugar, 1 tsp salt, 100g butter, 1/4 liter milk, then 100g "Rorinen" or "Ronnen" or something like that. I've checked a dictionary and a few English recipes, and can't figure out what this is supposed to be. Any guesses?
