Chef Anne Burrell is one of those hosts on Food Network that really cares about the fans and home cooks, and does everything she can to encourage home cooking, learning about food, and that anyone can do anything – preparing food just Isnt’ That Hard.
Hence why she stars on WORST COOKS IN AMERICA and often wins the annual competition.
Basically, when it comes to food – she really does care.
When you’re traveling around the country and you pull into the local diner, how do you answer when the waitress asks you if you’d like a Coke?
Do you assume that she’s asking you if you actually would like a Coca-Cola product, or do you think she’s referring to any beverage generically as “Coke”? For some, a pop is a soda. For others, a soda is a pop.
Coke or Pepsi? Amazingly awesome questions to ask your friends!

There’s a reason that magicians and casinos both can fool you and take your money.
It’s all about the math. The probability. The statistics.
It’s about identifying the key common trait that everybody has, but is afraid to admit. If a magician asks you to pick a card, which card do you always pick? Do you think of one card, and then immediately switch to some other card (saying to yourself, “aha! they wanted me to pick that first card that came to my head, but I’ll show them”)…. only to find yourself at the end looking directly at the magician presenting you with The Card You Picked!?!?:!
It’s not always luck.

The library card catalog is an ancient system.
Remember back when you had to flip through drawer after drawer of cards, sorted by category, author, or title to figure out where on the shelf stacks the book you wanted might be, and then you had to run off to the stacks to find it?
Oh, the good old days of alphabetizing without a computer.

Talking with some friends over lunch, they told us about a strange thing that happened to them at home the other night.
They were at home making dinner, when there was an unexpected knock on the door. Outside, was a tractor trailer with the doors open wide. The side of the truck indicated that it was from Thomasville, North Carolina – home of some of the best furniture outlets around.
“We’re from Thomasville,” the man at the door said. “Would you like to buy some of our furniture?”

Browsing PINTEREST can be fun and scary.
It’s fun, because it gives you some insight into things your S.O. is interested in, and it’s great for brainstorming possible ideas for gifts, weddings, and other events.
But Pinterest does have a dark side.

If you’ve ever been to Mardis Gras – or any large scale drinking festival – then you know how hard it is to find a place to use the bathroom
Web Watch remembers one large festival with lines 30 minutes long for the porta-potties. Men were bypassing the relative privacy of the portajohns and were using the tree and weed-lined fence to take care of business.
We overheard a potentially horrible situation when one man apparently dropped his keys into the muck. His buddy shouted over, “dude – just leave ’em”. It’s stories like this that make you want to know…. the rest of the story.
