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.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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!]

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
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).

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I don't see enough chocolate in that chocolate cake to make up for the lime.

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.

Adding them I can see. Keeping them's the real trick.

I just got to the "Food Spirits" page and I'm laughing so hard I almost can't breathe:
During fasts - when I don't eat but only drink water or other liquids for a day or longer - I started to feel specific types of foods. These foods came to my mind. I noticed that they were foods that I had not eaten for years, and thus usually foods that aren't produced anymore and such that I would normally not start to crave for. They were specific foods that I had eaten years ago. And not even thought of for years and years. And it was not hunger I was feeling.
I noticed that during fasts, foods eaten years ago somehow 'returned to life' so to speak. My theory became that when we eat, not only toxins and other substances from the foods, are stored in our blood and tissue - which they are - but also some sort of energy print of the food, that which I call food spirits.
