Arizona has the largest continuous Ponderosa Pine forest in the world.

**** i've been there and all i saw was desert lol.

+ half n half. What is that stuff anyway? people kept trying to put it in my coffee.

Fact(maybe): In the weightlessness of space a frozen pea will explode if it comes in contact with Pepsi.

I think we need a favorite cheese poll. TS being the connoisseur that you are, I nominate you for the starting of said poll. I vote for asiago!

Do they sell the abomination that is Kraft Easy Mac in Canada? The horrid microwave cups of sub sub-par mac-n-cheese?

And for a useless fact, tuna will sink if they stop swimming. (My biology teacher posts one of these random facts daily.) Americans choke on toothpicks more than anything else.

Yeah- I made the Easy Mac mistake. ONCE. My goodness, what a horrible abomination! I don't mind saying that I have mastered the perfect Kraft Dinner over the years, and even at my tender *cough* age, I still like it. But the Easy Mac was just...wrong.

Cheese connoisseur? Nah. Cheese freak maybe.My favourite is Havarti, but due to availability and pricing, usually get aged, white cheddar.

Half n half is half milk half coffee cream. It's supposed to do the same thing but with less fat and calories. (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't drink coffee)

You're basically right on the half 'n' half. As a contrator, coffee runs thru my veins. I'm drinking one as we speak. Right now, there's a carton of half 'n' half in my fridge. I believe the milk fat content is 10%. Whole milk is 3.25%, table (coffee) cream is (IIRC) 18%.

Cheese poll? So... start one! Too many possible choices for me to set up a poll. The list would be insane.

I don't even want to think about polls right now. At work, they're holding an election for a new worker rep for the Joint Health and Safety Committee. I'm trying to get myself elected for the position, and the BS and politics are just infuriating! Anyway, the votes must be in by the 9th, so at least the madness will end soon. Thank dog it's Friday. Good thing, too, because I'm treacherously close to emailing all these people (that I'm hoping will vote for me) and calling them all flipping idiots. Not good for garnering votes...

I would start it but my knowledge of said topic is minimal. I know what makes a good sandwich and what smells like feet (my favorite).

Yeah. You'll notice I didn't respond. Dead speechless. Hard to type while dry-heaving.
EDIT- here's another useless fact. Today was national grammar day. What a waste.

Have you never eaten Asiago cheese?! It smells an awful lot like feet, but it's great!

When an object is thrown in a gravitational field it clearly follows an arc and is an illusion.
This is due to the warping of space/time.
The object is actually traveling in a perfectly straight line.

HAHAHA! Not mine, just the general comparison I hear (I don't mind the cheese's smell).

When an object is thrown in a gravitational field it clearly follows an arc and is an illusion.
This is due to the warping of space/time.
The object is actually traveling in a perfectly straight line.

Does this have to deal with it traveling straight at a specific instant in time? Much like a tangent line to a curve, how it is only straight at a specific point.
