Professional wrestling was once real.  It was a lot different than how it is now in terms of techniques, strategies, & the lot.  The reason why it is now the way it is (fake) is to avoid paying a Pay Per View sports tax.

when making shrimp in a buttery garlic sauce, if you add less salt and instead add a 1/4 or so (depending on size of batch) of chease, it will thicken sauce and make it outragiously delishious

- Actually, that's half right.  The main reason is because (I'm gonna say this wrong) Oregon has some state laws that makes it illegal for pro athletes to compete if they're on the 'roids.  The WWE argued that, since they're more like athletic actors, the law should not restrict them from competing in Oregon.  Thus, it was allowed for the first time in over 10 years.  They haven't been back much because of what Hawkeye said.
- This is the 26th page on this topic.
- 26 is an awesome number, because that's how many letters are in our alphabet.
- It's also awesome because that's how many briefcases you get to choose from in "Deal or No Deal?".

The squiggly line thing that you sometimes see over the letter "n" in the Spanish language is called a "tilde."

Airline food has so much extra spices added to make-up for the fact that your taste buds desensitize at altitude. Meaning if you ate that stuff down on the ground, you would not like it at all. Like my after game meal with my mom Saturday! Chef must have worked for airlines before!

Although it's currently theoretical, one of the most scientifical conclusions to all of life is that the universe is simply going to freeze, thus killing all life. This is called The Big Freeze theory.

This is a scenario in which the universe becomes too cold to sustain life due to continued expansion and the decay of free energy due to the action of entropy. It could occur if the universe's geometry is either flat or hyperbolic, as either of those would mean that the universe would expand indefinitely eventually reaching absolute zero.

If it is hyperbolic, which is usually pictured as a saddle shape, then the density must be lower than the critical density (which is approximately three hydrogen atoms per cubic meter), which means that the universe isn't heavy enough to collapse under gravity. If our Universe is flat, then the density will be exactly at the critical point, preventing the universe from collapsing as well. If the universe is heavier than the critical point, it will result in a shrinking universe, which leads to another theory, called the Big Crunch.

For the Big Crunch to occur, the shape of the Universe would have to be spherical. The problem with measuring the current density of our Universe is that we cannot see most of the matter in it, and it is theorized that most of the universe may be made up of dark matter, a hypothetical, invisible form of matter in space (Which is theorized to be why the night sky is dark).

This is only one of multiple theory's as to the ultimate fate of the universe. If it where to happen, it would probably happen around 150 billion years from now. As of note, our Universe is roughly estimated at just around 13.7 Billion years old.

When Street Fighter II was first made in Japan, 3 of the 4 bosses had different names than what they have here in the States.

Japan        U.S.A.
M. Bison     Balrog
Balrog        Vega
Sagat        Sagat
Vega         M. Bison

The reason for this is because of the boxer.  When the game came to the U.S., they were afraid that they would get sued by Mike Tyson.  Why?  Because they look VERY similar & their names are VERY similar.  So they switched them around so as not to get sued.

Also, noticed how Sagat is the only boss whose name never changes?  The reason for that is because he was the main boss in Street Fighter I.  Changing his name would have been illogical.

Fun with basic thermodynamics!

1 BTU will heat up one pound of water 1 degree F.

A refrigerator ton doesn't weigh anything - it's the rate of refrigeration (heat extraction) needed to freeze one ton of water (32deg F, liquid) into 1 ton of ice (32deg F, solid). This rate works out to be 12,000 BTU/hr, or 3024kcal/hr, or 3516W.

It's abbreviated USRT.

Oh yeah, and a watt-second is a Joule.

QUIZ: Is 1 Joule  = 1 kilogram meter per second, or 1kilogram meter per second SQUARED.

If a starfiss gets its arm (or leg lol) cut off, depending on how much of the limb was lost, that limb could possibly grow into a new starfish.
