When you are in a Starbucks, don't you feel like a dork? Especially when you have to order something and they don't have sizes like small, regular and large. Instead, their sizes are named "tall", "grande" and "venti." With "tall" being the equivalent of small. What the heck? Why do they do that? I refuse to order my coffee by using those quaint and effeminate terms to describe sizes. But everytime I use the conventional terms to describe the size I want, the person working the counter looks at me in a quizzical kind of way as if he or she doesn't understand what I am saying. And the name they have for those people working the counter is just ridiculous...baristas. What the heck is a barista? I just call them coffee counter people.
I found this low-carb bakery near my hometown and they have muffins and cheesecake that tastes incredible. They make the muffins with almonds and things like that. Each muffin packs 9 grams of fiber and only 5 net carbs, so if you eat two of those a day, your plumbing becomes cleaner than a Home Depot showroom. The cheesecake is made with lots of Splenda and some weird combination of yogurt and cheese. But it tastes just like real cheesecake. It's incredible - just one carb per slice. But the "low-carb" pizza is awful. Something about the crust is nauseating. Still, not a bad bakery.
Many people think that toilets flush differently in the Southern hemisphere but this is not so. How a toilet flushes is predicated on which way the water is pumped into the toilet. Most toilets pump water in at an angle and so that angle determines whether the toilet flushes in a clockwise or counterclockwise manner. But even without the angle, there is no difference between how a toilet flushed in the northern or southern hemisphere. This is because the body of water in a toilet is too small to be influenced by the Coriolis effect.
Do I hafta?
