Hawaii is made up of islands!
'Potential'
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
One of the Hawaii questions was to name five of the islands that make up Hawaii! We got to four (no thanks to me...I could name...two?) Other questions included what year it became a state (Um...), a question about some king, something about the number of letters in the alphabet, a multiple choice about the state fish, a beach, a gimme about which other state doesn't do Daylight Savings...
what year it became a state (Um...)
1959! Same year Alaska joined.
a question about some king
King Kamehameha, probably - he united the islands and established a dynasty.

Yep, that'd be the one!!
And oddly, my friend on the team with me who lived in Alaska til he was 11 did not know the answer to the statehood question! I was like "c'mon, didn't you have to take state history in like, 4th grade? Shouldn't you know the year?" (He thought it was 1950) [edit: not that *I* knew it--I was like "In the 50s sometime!", but I figured he ought to!]
King KamehamehaBeautiful statue of him in the Capital! It's got gold in it. I'd say the most colorful of the 100 (2 per state).
King Kamehameha
The club in Magnum, P.I. was named after him.
ETA: Technically, the second club. The first season Rick owned "Ricks" and he thought he was Bogie. That didn't last long.
Crap, the surgery didn't work? Man, poor ita. That's just shit - the universe owes her some bloody luck, damn it.
Pertaining to the cocktail discussion, I have recently heard of this, and have a mighty urge to try it.
Chocolate Cake recipe
3/4 oz vodka
1/4 oz Frangelico® hazelnut liqueur
1 slice lime
powdered sugar
Pour 3/4 oz of vodka and 1/4 oz frangelico into a shot glass. Cover the slice of lime with powdered sugar.
Bite on the lime with powdered sugar on it and hold the juice in your mouth. Then take the shot while the lime juice is still in your mouth. You now have a chocolate cake shot.
I don't see enough chocolate in that chocolate cake to make up for the lime.
OMG, Sean...that link...the crazy, it burns!
Breatharianism is not completely unexplored by science. Even study which is not aimed at breatharianism itself, may come to conclusions which support it. I don't believe that science has to prove breatharianism, since science is quite limited. But it is interesting to read about things that point to the fact that people can live of light. It may also be reassuring to find that the 'modern world' does support the breatharian lifestyle.
Rao's Homemade is my go-to jarred pasta sauce brand. It's got much less added sugar than the other brands I've tried, and so actually tastes like tomatoes and not syrup.

And there's lots of them around the 'tubes. How this movement continues to add adherents just absolutely baffles me.
