I think the debunking of honey as desensitizer is that it doesn't actually contain much pollen. But I haven't really looked into that, as I am pro placebo effect. And pro honey. In general.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

But are these guys really music Hall of Famers? Not in my book."
This from a man who misused comprised and thinks John Denver belongs in the R&R Hall of Fame.
And, yes, I’ve always had a problem with music critics who can’t sing or play a note but who pass judgment on others who can.
So book critics must be novelists and opera critics mezzo-sopranos?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
IM JUST MAD. And not totally articulate, I guess, on reread.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Hey, now leeches serve a valid medical purpose! Just not usually blood letting per se. But hmm, what about fire cupping?
Fire cupping is cool. Although I've never done it for medical purposes.
And fecal transplants. Anyone else heard of that one?
That is seriously cool. C. difficile is a nasty, nasty bastard.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Allyson, I completely support your rant. Anyone whose comment on Leonard Cohen is "zzzz" is an ass. He sounds like a seriously whiny douchebag. And I'll take the Beastie Boys over KISS any day and twice on Sundays.

I support Allyson's rant, but personally I like KISS better than the Beasties. Don't worry, Pete has explained to me at length how wrongheaded this is.

I think they just have aHOF so stupid guys can opine about it, but if you think they should be in there, they should, Allyson. Kiss sux.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Why would anyone kiss sux....oh.
I actually came here for cooking advice.
If a recipe, on the back of the box, says to bake at 350º for 28 minutes for a 13 x 9 pan, at 30 minutes for a 9 x 9 pan and 45 minutes for a 8x8 pan how long should I bake if I'm putting the brownie batter in mini cupcake pans?

Man Walks All Day to Create Spectacular Snow Patterns:
Artist Simon Beck must really love the cold weather! Along the frozen lakes of Savoie, France, he spends days plodding through the snow in raquettes (snowshoes), creating these sensational patterns of snow art. Working for 5-9 hours a day, each final piece is typically the size of three soccer fields! The geometric forms range in mathematical patterns and shapes that create stunning, sometimes 3D, designs when viewed from higher levels.
