Haha. My brother was trying to teach our mom how to use a USB Flashdrive yesterday when we were having our Christmas gathering. Santa should bring him something special for even attempting such a feat.

I don't think that's right - prawn and shrimp are the same thing, regardless of size. In Australia we don't use the word shrimp, we call them prawns. It just depends on the country you're in

I agree. Shrimp only exist in the United States, I think. Everywhere else that I've ever been, they are called prawns.

there was a documentary about tornadoes on today - and I did a bit more reading about them.
I learnt a lot about them and how they form... and I learnt that south east Australia has all the right conditions for tornadoes to form if the right type of summer storm brews.
I had absolutely no idea about that.

In Scotland large shrimp are known as languistines.
Also you spend just as much energy running a distance as walking the same distance.

I'm learnin' all sorts of stuff reading this thread!!
Edit: Lesson from last night...if you want to serve dinner at a certain time, tell everyone that dinner will be served 30 minutes before you actually are serving it. That way dishes won't be cold because everyone is waiting for that last person bringing up the rear!!

Yeah, even us call it shrimps, but that's mostly because of an inside joke. My grand mother likes to name things with the english title of it, so instead of calling it ''crevettes'' she is saying Shrimps all the time. (My grand father was american, I had to say, so she spoke english a lot when she was younger).

The human skull is jointed.
ETA - You don't actually need to drink 8 glasses of water a day because the body is very efficient at extracting water from food and other drinks. It's a common myth along with hair and nails growing faster when you cut them. That's a myth too folks!

That is my biggest pet peeve when I'm cooking! I now call that it's ready in X minutes and when it's ready I sit down and eat whether the hubby has joined me or not. I worked hard to make something yummy and I'm eating it while it's hot damnit!
I learned today that Petsmart has postage-paid envelopes for donating cell phones & printer cartidges. The funds are used for their pet charity program. More info: PetSmart Charities
