Happy New Years! As well as celebrating the New Years, I feelwe should celebrate the food that either is screwed up in preparation or has morals. My food story is about a jar of enviromental pickle relish. It refused to open no matter what I did, but once I recycled some cans(in hope that my parents would come home and help me), it opened easily. :eek: :D -------------------- Do not underestimate the power of the mechanical pencil.

Iaqqy Nem Yaer! My mother has a compost pile next to her garden in the back yard. Sometimes we find various forms of squash or potatoes growing out of it. One year, my mother was growing zucchini, and it ended up interbreeding with the pumpkins that started growing out of the compost pile (from the Halloween pumpkin seeds). We ended up with this vegetable that looked like a gigantic zucchini, but when we cut it open, the inside was orange. We called it a pumpkini. It was tasty. Unfortunately, it was so big that it got moldy after we had eaten only half of it, so we had to throw the other half away. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I had my first annual feast with my friends. We bought some wings from Wing Stop, some french fries, and a few cokes and we ate them under the trees in my neighboorhood. And in a few hours we will launch our fireworks into tomorrow and hopefully not get arrested. :-) -------------------- And everybody say....Yatta!

It's not all that uncommon; we've had similar experiences when growing pumpkins and zucchini. Pumpkins, zucchini and cucumbers all in the family Cucurbitaceae, so they're quite closely related, and it's not altogether surprising that they're able to hybridise. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

It's now 1 am local time, and the new year is already beginning well with a minor scuffle in our neighbourhood concerning some drunken neighbours aiming explosives at our doors and windows. :rolleyes: We probably should have called the police, but by the time we recovered from the shock sufficiently to do anything they had already stopped and gone inside. They will open their front door tomorrow to look upon the entire mess they have made all the way down the street, collected into a nice big heap on their doormat. Let no one say I don't have creative ideas to resolve conflicts non-violently. :) -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Happy New Year, if slightly late for us Australians. Oh, and don't forget about the leap second! It's incredibly important. If you forget about it, you'll DIE. Or worse, you'll BE ONE SECOND OFF!

Leap second? Is this like latitudinal time differences? Side note: I managed to fool someone with "latitudinal time difference" once. Told him that Rome was on a different time than Stockholm because it was further south. Took him a few moments to call the bullcrap. :P -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Actually, in some places it is possible to change your time zone by going north or south, since the International Date Line "bends" around major land masses. As for leap seconds, they're needed to adjust the length of the year to account for the fact that the rotation of the Earth is gradually slowing down. Basically, the day is slightly longer than it was when the length of the second was originally defined, and so the number of seconds in a year isn't what it used to be. Leap seconds make up for the difference. Really, you should have predicted that there's a Wikipedia article on this.

Originally by Thuryl: quote:Zucchini and pumpkins are actually varieties of the same species (Cucurbita pepo) according to my dictionary, so no problems interbreeding there. Dikiyoba still has about six hours before midnight. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |
