Thought of the Day

In Western Europe, people are shocked by the serving sizes in America.

They are equally shocked by the amount of ice we put in our drinks.

However, they do not realize that the reason for this is quite simple.

We Americans prefer our drinks cold. However, the more ice you place in your cup, the less fluid can sit inside. Therefore, we have larger serving sizes to compensate for the loss of space.

This has been A Thought for your Day.

A Few Words On The Present Situation

At these times, dear public, I wish to announce my solidarity with you all. We must stand together in these hardships, but standing together six feet apart as per the health and safety regulations. We must forge new unions, as long as those unions are forged via zoom calls, telephone lines, online chat, or any other form of communication that does not involve close, physical contact.

It is well-known that many creatures of the human race will fantastic growths of hair on top of their heads. Humans are known for having much dedication to the cultivation ...
