Oh hell, I ate vanilla icecream last night. This is why I don't like to know what they put on my food.
Lets join our hate to see if we can make her fall off her chair.

I like to drink my vanilla straight from the beaver's butt.

So much for the "whats for lunch" thread.

From Snopes: "Processed forms of castoreum are also used as food additives; in the latter case primarily as enhancers of strawberry and rasperry flavorings in products such as iced tea, ice cream, gelatin, candy, fruit-flavored drinks, and yogurt."
(1) Everything that exists is processed something else. Your plastic spoon is processed oil.
(2) Vanilla flavor still typically comes from vanilla beans.
(3) A tiny bit of processed chemical that once may or may not have come from a beaver, used to enhance strawberry flavor, isn't as gross-sounding and hence not as interesting, even if it's more accurate.

I don't think we'll be going for that ice cream any time soon.

The average severed head and one million dollars in $100 bills are approximately the same weight.
"Did you bring the money?"
"Yes, boss. One million dollar in $100 bills, as you asked. I weighed the bag before we left to make sure"
"Good, now hand it over"
<Checks the bag>
"What the hell, Chuggs!"

Well, if we're going to quibble, I think your clarification is more precise but not any more accurate than the article.

No word in the english language rhymes with month, silver, purple or orange
sporange, a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant)
and some Robbie Burns...
For you, no bred to barn and byre,
Wha sweetly tune the Scottish lyre,
Thanks to you for your line:
The marled plaid ye kindly spare,
By me should gratefully be ware;
'Twad please me to the nine.
I'd be mair vauntie o' my hap,
Douce hingin' owre my curple
Than ony ermine ever lap,
Or proud imperial purple.
Fareweel then, lang heel then,
An' plenty be your fa';
May losses and crosses
Ne'er at your hallan ca'.

We had that pages ago, and I posted a whole bunch of rhyming words for them, so I guess maybe there's some truth to this.

Spiral staircases often turn clockwise from the perspective of the person climbing them. The reason for this comes from medieval times, when castles would feature them that way in order to put invaders at a disadvangate: Since most people are right-handed, the stair turning left when climbing up (usually the position of the attacker) left them exposed to those climbing down (usually the defenders).

This may have been true until the last few decades, but it certainly isn't anymore, at least in new homes the U.S. I've helped build dozens of wooden circular and spiral (and weirder) staircases for newer homes, and it seemed to be about 50/50... pretty much whatever struck the architects' and/or owners' fancy.

Come back to me with that when the burgundian hordes have taken over your unstrategically constructed staircases!
Jeez. It's like people these days don't even care what happens to their demesnes anymore.

Yeah, like I could ever afford to live in any of the houses into which we installed stairs.
