Not all people have the gene for the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan, so some of you can eat all the asparagus you want without stinking up the place.


we ate asparagus tonight and apparently it made the bf's pee smell bad. but when i peed, i noticed no stench. apparently the internet told him this.

Continuum, vacuum, and muumuu are about the only 3 regular english words with "uu" in them. (There are a couple of more archaic, nonstandard, or foreign ones, though (and muumuu is pretty much foreign anyway - Hawaiian))
(Duumvirate (archaic), Equus (biological), Carduus (biological), Menstruum (icky) are a few of the weird ones)

The average human being has more hair follicles on his body than an average orangutan. They're just finer and less pigmented.

every county seat, and state capitol has a river (at least in nc, or very early america at least) - this was the main mode of transportation back in the day and how they decided what town/cities would be seats and capitols.
