- How do they get the salt inside of a roasted-in-the-shell peanut?

[HEyHEY]

2. How does Bush read his speaches?

Does he have someone read it to him and memorize it? Cause I know damn well he can't read

[radwriter0555]

10. No, he uses an earpiece. Listen for the speech patterns. They're

on track with someone saying the lines in his ear, him listening, then repeating.

Do it with him sometime. Repeat the words as he's repeated them. You'll see. Rove is whispering into his manchurian candidate's ear.

3. Actually

The salt get into the peanut's shell by osmosis; they are boiled in salt water.

[Padraig18]

4. Why don't frogs...

... have either wings, or cushions on their little green butts?

[trof]

5. here's how they get the salt in

They boil/soak the peanuts in brine.
Then they roast them.
VIOLA!

[Padraig18]

6. See #3

Hehehe! :hi:

[trof]

9. incomplete explanation

If you just soak them you get wet peanuts.
If you boil them, you get boiled peanuts (quite tasty).
You have to roast them afterwards to get dry, roasted, salted peanuts.
p.s.
If you boil them in crab boil you get Cajun Boiled Peanuts.
VERY TASTY!

to Tricia you do not get any back.

14. Yummm

One of the few things I miss about living in FL is buying boiled peanuts from the old Black gentleman who sold them out of a 55 gal. drum alongside SR 84 in Alachua county. Absolutely one of the most addictive substances known to mankind.

8. Why don't

they make cheese out of people milk? :shrug:

[populistmom]

17. Actually, you can

I used to know a few earthy birthy folks and once upon a time had some recipes for various foods to make with human milk. Not sure about cheese, but there was a cheesecake recipe. Never made any of them (pumping was always too much work) though, but I still have some stuff in the back of my freezer that would work that I have yet to clean out. Hhhhmmm, clean out the fridge or boobie cheesecake?

[rasputin1952]

36. It takes many gallons of milk...

to make a pound of cheese, (depending on the type).

I would suppose...it could be done, but would there be a market?

11. Every material in the universe

contracts when it is chilled except water which expands. Why is that?

[BrotherBuzz]

32. Actually there is another one...

Liquid Antimony has the exceptional property, when cooling, of expanding as it solidifies (yeah, just like water), thus filling in the crevices of a mold and yielding castings of exceptionally sharp detail. For this reason, it is used in small amounts in making printers' type metal.

[rasputin1952]

33. Let me see if I get this right...

Water expands when it freezes because the molecules become a lattice like patern, as opposed to a random pattern when in liquid form, this makes the molecules water expand as it moves towards the freezing point. Water floats as a solid because it has lost some of its density.

Damn......I think I got it..been a long time since the old school days!

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

20. ummm, the ULTIMATE here... Chicken or egg first?

[short bus president]

21. unless you specify

"chicken egg," the question is painfully simple to answer. Reptile eggs were around long before chickens.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

22. Oh picky, picky... you know what I mean... did a reptile egg one

day just turn into a chicken?

I bloody doubt it, mate.

24. Why do all minority groups have a section of...

[SmileyBoy]

29. What's the meaning of life???

Does anyone know??? Is anyone here a modern-day prophet???

[rasputin1952]

34. I guess if you want to be technical about it...

The meaning of life, is waiting for death.

Philosophically.....Abillion points have been made, but ultimately, the meaning of life, is what you make of it.

[BrotherBuzz]

38. The meaning of life is to find....

your gift. The purpose of life is to give the gift away....

40. Every known human culture has music

(in the sense of deliberate patterns of pitch and rhythm) and decorative art. Why? What lower-order traits evolved into appreciation for visual and aural beauty?

[KittyWampus]

41. What A Great Question!

Did you know there's a set progression of colors that different culture's recoginize and have words for.

Example, the most "primitive" of cultures will only recognize and have words for red, black and yellow.

If a culture sees and names FOUR colors they will always be red, black, yellow and BLUE.

If a culture sees and names FIVE colors they will always be red, black, yellow, blue and WHITE.

Little bits of info from my days as an Anthropology major. :)
