    You are a fluffy little penguin. One big spark and you could go up in flames.

    Two solutions then. The first is the above one, because it took me by far the longest of any level! The next is the one after it, with the televisions. SPOILERS

    It was a really good expansion, but three months was enough for me:) Far more fun than either of the last two.

    I'm just worried that a static buildup in your bathroom might end you up with a zapped mickey some day.

    I know Gwardinen, i know:/ Griddlelol, I'm a little worried about your interpretation there, but i'm going to sit this one out.
  14. Job Hunting

    It's an entrenched system, and it appears to the users to work most of the time....so, play the system and burn it down from the inside once you are there.

    I didn't go to my cousin's wedding because i was in full freak out mode about my phd at the time (i spend the weekend not doing any work and freaking out instead). His husband was a chef and there was a barge full of food, and they walked down the aisle to "gimme gimme gimme".
  17. Idle Food - Cooking!

    Badfinger: This is my favourite vegetarian recipe. Obviously, you won't be able to get the spice mix, but the ingredients are black pepper, cloves and Garam Masala. Make it vegan by substituting oil for the butter (which i always do). I also make a noodle salad with peanut sauce: Rice vermicelli, soaked as per packet, and drained really well. Sugarsnap peas (or something nice and crunchy and green, tender stem broccoli is good). Toasted cashews Corriander leaves (cilantro), enough to make it kinda leafty. Sub in some mint either, or rocket (arugula) Sweet pepper chopped into thin slices Spring onions sliced Peanut Sauce (it is pretty simple, caus this is usually a 11.30 before bed job to have for lunch the next day!) Peanut butter (i like crunchy) A little soy Chilli sauce grated garlic and ginger, just a little to taste A little hot water. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce, it will seem like the peanut butter will stay a lump, but stir it for a minute and it will come apart. Add extra water to make as liquid as you like, it will thicken on cooling as well. Mix all the noodle ingredients and apply sauce liberally. Keep back some of the leaves and onion if you want to sprinkle on top after to make it look pretty, though nothing with peanut sauce ever really looks pretty:P If you want this as a lunch then let the noodles cool before assembling. Also, pack the sauce separate as it can separate a little, just give it a stir before mixing into the salad.

  19. Is It Wrong To Eat Meat?

    As a slight aside, here is the Mimosa plant which has been shown to exhibit learning behaviors, including learning more quickly under stressed conditions. And sorry to jump on the questions bandwagon but...Why is the ability to feel pain the deliniator here? (Or is it just being used throughout as an example?). Many organisms will endure pain and go so far as to kill themselves for the chance to reproduce, or the in the very act of reproduction. E.g. are we in a position to say a hive of bees doesn't trade the stressors a beekeeper puts it under taking its honey for the reproductive advantage the hive is given by the keepers attention? Are we in a position to say that eating berries from a hedgerow and flushing the seeds into our sewers is better than breeding a cow and using her milk? I kinda picked this point up watching the video that someone posted a while back. The presenter said that all organisms shared a desire to "live", but i don't think he demonstrated that in any way. I think it has been observed many times in the animal kingdom that many organisms demonstrate a need to reproduce, and that them being alive is only a vehicle for this. I can see ahead what implications this will have for Racist Tycho, but I'm interested in your response.

    I think it is like sea monkeys, you just add water and the next morning you will have crickets. (Poking around the web, it looks like a protien-ful replacement for flours and the like). Also, i only use a leeeeetle ketchup for the steak, it was mostly for the potato.
