Honey never expires​

As long as honey is sealed and stored properly, it can last an eternity. This is because the combo of honey’s low water content, high acidity, and antibacterial properties keep it from spoiling.
I have stored honey from my hives for years.

Edible honey from the days of ancient Egypt has been discovered.

I've had honey go moldy, but that was probably from breadcrumbs dropped into it from my knife.

The "All Blacks" ??

 

[Unkle Krusty]

The All Blacks. There is a world outside of the US.
The All Blacks is the NZ national rugby team. The US also has a national rugby team. The Eagles I think. Used to be, The All Blacks on their way to Europe, would stop and play Canada. Recently they have stopped and played the US team.
They usually beat Canada by about 70 points.
They win about 70% or more of all international games played.

Whoa, I don't care about Rugby and I don't drive an RV either.

Spanish moss is not actually a moss; it's a flowering plant (an epiphyte) related to the pineapple, growing on other plants for support and getting nutrients from the air and rain, not from the tree itself, despite its misleading name. It drapes from trees like oaks and cypress, forming gray-green garlands, but isn't a parasite, though heavy growth can block some sunlight.

When natural gas is sent along its pipeline over long distances, pumping stations are usually installed every 50-100 miles. As we all know, when you compress a gas it gets hotter. These large radiators (you can see the size compared to the rail car carrying it) are used to drop the temperature back down to increase pumping efficiency.

Heat exchangers.....the refinery had some huge ones in it. We had some gas fired turbines with HE's on the exhaust and it got used in other places....the heat that is. There used to be some really big turbines out there but everything is probably electric by now.

Elvis Presley likely died due to chronic constipation contrary to what was reported back in the day.....

The official cause of death was a heart attack due to arrhythmia; however, his physician, Dr. George Nichopoulos, revealed in 2010 that the actual cause was chronic constipation. During the autopsy, it was found that more than 20 kilograms of fecal matter had accumulated in his body. This is more than twice the amount of a normal adult. The difficulty in bowel movements led to weight gain and weakened organ functions, ultimately being identified as the primary reason that broke down his body.

Elvis was reported to have refused **** surgery, feeling ashamed to reveal such an embarrassing condition as a star. The pain from constipation, coupled with the painkillers and sleeping pills he took, worsened his constipation, and drug dependence put more strain on his heart and organs.

It is said that his extremely unbalanced eating habits also contributed to Elvis's unfortunate death. To him, food was not simply a meal, but also comfort and pleasure. He enjoyed high-fat, high-sugar foods and ultra-high-calorie junk foods. In 1977, his weight was revealed to be over 100 kilograms, and at one point, it approached 150 kilograms. After his divorce from his wife Priscilla in 1973, binge eating and drug dependence worsened, ultimately leading him to pass away lonely in the bathroom of his home rather than on a glamorous stage. Ultimately, it is generally believed that a combination of binge eating, irregular lifestyle, constipation, high blood pressure, and substance abuse led to his sudden death.

......maybe all the hip wiggling was to loosen a stuck poop.....

So, Elvis was full of ****. How would you like the job of cutting him open, squeezing all the poop out of his large intestine, analyzing and weighing it?

The marks (bumps or ridges) on the 'F' and 'J' keys are tactile guides for touch typists, allowing them to find the "home row" position for their index fingers without looking, increasing typing speed and accuracy by providing a physical landmark for hand placement.

One finger pecking typists don't use them.

Notice that the B is one row down and centered between the F and J. Whoever thought up where the letters should be placed on a typewriter was clairvoyant!
