Things I Learned This Week
November 16, 2007
- Big whoop Rachel Ray has her own cookbook, I can too.
- Lobsters can feel pain (but don’t forget they are basically bugs).
- On the East Coast it’s more “eco-friendly” to drink wine from France than California (stop killing the planet NE California wine lovers).
- NH Highway Patrol is not the same as NH State Troopers (once a carpool debate).
- NH is second in the country for vanity plates.
- NH is first in the country for beer consumption (and second in wine… stop killing the planet NH California wine lovers).
- Dover has a renewable energy store (so NH California wine lovers can clear their guilty conscious).
- We are getting screwed at the pump.
- The world’s first commercial hydrogen filling station is in Reykjavik (I wonder if Björk buys her scratch tickets there).
- They use carbon monoxide to make meat red (so that’s why our CO alarm keeps going off).
- E. coli meat is ok to eat, as long as it has a sticker.
- Our (NE) economy sucks.
- There is no dark side of the moon (there goes laser show sales).
- There are more urban people than rural people (important when in a mixed group and choosing where to go to lunch: “Listen rural people… there are finally more of us and we are sick of you guys always choosing Applebees“).
- CD sales are down (I learned that they still sell CDs in stores).
- There is a lot to baseball pitches.
- Recycled used condoms make great hair bands (at least they don’t have lead).
- There’s a new “cold” out there that has killed ten people this year (must buy more hand sanitizer).
- The left side of the brain is responsible for picking up sounds at a loud party (”Blah blah blah… man this dude can talk… did I just hear someone say that there are fresh pigs in a blanket?”)
- We are going to have a warm winter (are these same guys who said that we were going to get slammed with hurricanes this year?… just checking).
- People actually get paid to mess around with cockroaches (I don’t remember my guidance councilor talking about that as a career).
- Voluptuous = omega-3 = higher IQs.
- You can stop a car using microwaves (sounds messy if the “perp” was driving a car of stolen groceries).

What do you want to bet that NH’s dominating position in the lush ratings is skewed by the incredible volume of sales in a few liquor stores to people passing through the state? Can’t believe that it’s based on any other solid statistics…

Could be, but do they sell beer at the state liquor store?
