Well, to be fair, not all ovens have warming drawers or broiling drawers. Mine has a storage drawer for extra pans.
Did you know some refrigerators have little trays on the bottom? They collect the drops of water from condensation. They also tend to get very moldy if you don’t clean them.
Yeah, I posted the same thing in that thread. That was my major "Duh? No shit? moment in life. The day I realized, just a few months ago, in spite of the fact that I watch football every Sunday, that they were out of D.C. :smack: My father wanted to disown me and my SO just shook her head and walked away.
It wasn’t until I moved to FLA that I realized that oranges aren’t grown in orchards. They’re grown in GROVES.
Alternately known as a tallboy (16 oz. can of beer).
Ah, yes. Thank you. I should’ve guessed.
I’ve been driving a Camry for 8 years now, and I just realized that the little tabs inside the fuel filler door are meant to hold the gas cap while you’re filling the car.
I think the vice presidential debate back in '88 was probably the first time I heard “Jack” used as a nickname for “John.” Dan Quayle had said that his youth shouldn’t be a factor since he was older than John F. Kennedy when he took office. Lloyd Benson repsonded with “I knew Jack Kennedy, and believe me, you’re no Jack Kennedy!” I was wondering if this old coot was losing his mind so bad he somehow mistook Jack for John.
It was only a couple of years ago that I realized that Jonathan and John are two entirely different names, unrelated. John is not short for Jonathan. John is just John, and if you really need a short name for the other, it would be Jon.

Nope:
From Arby’s website:
“Q. Does the name Arby’s stand for R.B., as in, roast beef?
A. Close! Arby’s is named for the company founders, Leroy and Forrest Raffel, the Raffel Brothers, also R.B.”
I remembered seeing that on one of their placemats once, so I had to go check when I saw your post. 
I’ve seen six packs of 16oz beers in plenty of places and I’ve lived all but two years in the South.

Well, sorta. A pint of water is a wee bit more than a pound, so a gallon of water is a little over 8 pounds. Gasoline is quite a bit less dense, so a pint of it is not a pound. A gallon of gasoline is about 6 (?) pounds. Even though oil floats on water, I saw somebody lose money on a quiz show last week for thinking a gallon of oil weighs more than a gallon of water.
I am 58 years old, and I didn’t know until a few days ago, during a football game, that I cannot hear the word “Mountaineer” without thinking, “hardly kep’ his fam’ly fed.”
The government, oddly, has switched from calling waterboarding “simulated drowning” to “controlled drowning.” 
That sounds like it would give you a lot of links to po urn.
I learned today that beer does not get “skunked” by cycling between hot and cold temperatures… skunking is due to a photochemical reaction to light. Storing beer in the dark is a simple way to prevent skunking.
Well, specifically in parts of FL, maybe not all of the south. Don’t know why it is as such down here… I wonder if it’s a legal thing or a brewery thing?
It just becomes more concentrated.
[Homer]Mmmm…brain from concentrate.[/Homer]
I was sure a web search would refute this, but WOW, it’s true!
“Hangovers are multi-causal. Ethanol has a dehydrating effect by causing increased urine production (such substances are known as diuretics), which causes headaches, dry mouth, and lethargy.” (from wiki)
And from here: The effects of dehydration on brain volume – preliminary results’, International Journal of Sports Medicine 2005; 26:481–485

Don’t use them. Simple fact of the matter: if you’re going to forget to put the cap back on, you’re going to forget and that’s all there is to it. Having it hanging on the inside of the filler door isn’t going to help. Then you drive off, eventually hit a bump, and the filler cap goes flying, probably getting lost or wrecked beyond usability, and you wind up buying another one.
On the other hand, if you always take the cap off and put it on top of the pump, then once the error is discovered, it’s simply a case of going back to the station and retrieving it.

Well… on my car at least the brackets hold the cap on the inside of the little door. The door can’t be closed with the gas cap in the brackets, so you never just absent-mindedly slap the door shut and go on your way, because you can’t. It’s a reminder to put the cap on, that’s why it’s there.
ETA: Though I live in Oregon now and haven’t pumped my own gas in about five years, so my other solution to this is… move to Oregon or New Jersey
