From Wikipedia:

Kashrut (Hebrew: כַּשְׁרוּת; Standard Hebrew: kašrut) or “keeping kosher” (Hebrew: כֶּשֶׁר/כָּשֶׁר; Standard Hebrew: kéšer/kášer) is the name of the Jewish dietary laws. Food in accord with halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher in English, from the Hebrew term kasher (כשר), meaning “fit” (in this context, fit for human consumption). Food not in accord with Jewish law is termed treifah or treif (טרפה) (“torn”); the term originally referred to animals (from a kosher species such as cattle or sheep) which had been either incorrectly slaughtered or mortally wounded by wild beasts and therefore were not fit for human consumption. Among Sephardim, it typically only refers to meat that is not kosher.

The basic laws of kashrut are in the Torah’s Book of Leviticus, with their details set down in the oral law (the Mishnah and the Talmud) and codified by the Shulkhan Arukh and later rabbinical authorities.

The word kosher has been borrowed by many languages.

Types of foods

Foods are kosher when they meet all criteria that Jewish law applies to food. Invalidating characteristics may range from the presence of a mixture of meat and milk, to the use of produce from Israel that has not been tithed properly, or even the use of cooking utensils which had previously been used for non-kosher food.  
Jews and Judaism

Identification of kosher foods

Store-bought foods can be identified as kosher by the presence of a hechsher (plural hechsherim), a graphical symbol that indicates that the food has been certified as kosher by a rabbinical authority. (This might be an individual rabbi, but is more often a rabbinic organization.) The most common symbol is the “OU”, a U inside a circle (Ⓤ), standing for the Union of Orthodox Congregations. Many rabbis and organizations, however, have their own certification mark, and the other symbols are too numerous to list.

The hechsherim of certain authorities are sometimes considered invalid by certain other authorities. A solitary K is sometimes used as a symbol for kashrut, but as this symbol cannot be trademarked (the method by which other symbols are protected from misuse), it does not indicate anything other than the fact that the company producing the food considers it to be kosher.

It is not sufficient to read the list of ingredients on a product label in order to determine a food’s kosher status, as many things are not included in this list, such as pan lubricants and release agents (which may be derived from lard), flavorings (even “natural flavorings” may be derived from non-kosher substances) and others. It can, however, identify obviously unkosher substances present in food.

Producers of food items and food additives can contact Jewish authorities to have their product deemed kosher. A committee will visit their facilities to inspect production methods and contents of the product and issue a certificate if everything is in order. In many product classes, constant supervision is required.

For various reasons, such as changes in manufacturing processes, products known to be kosher on one day might not be kosher tomorrow; a change in lubricating oil to one containing tallow, for instance. Often, these changes will be coordinated with the supervising rabbi or organization, to ensure that new packaging, which will not suggest any hechsher or kashrut, will be used for the new formulation. But in some cases, the supply of preprinted labels with the hechsher may still find its way onto the now non-kosher product; for such reasons, there is an active “grapevine” among the Jewish community, as well as newspapers and periodicals, identifying which products are now questionable, as well as products which have become kosher but whose labels have yet to carry the hechsher.

_Eventually_ close it, I said. So far it’s pretty amusing. We just didn’t need two threads about it, that’s all.

Me, I like the “Swiss Colony Gift Catalog” it’s offering for sale now in the ad.

I’m seeing an ad for

The ones in Des Moines do. That’s right; beavers in Des Moines fart. Didn’t know there were beavers in Des Moines? Well, there are beavers in Des Moines, and the beavers in Des Moines fart. Those beavers fart a lot.

So, to sum up: Beavers. Des Moines. There are beavers, and there’s Des Moines. Des Moines has beavers. Beavers live in Des Moines. Those beavers in Des Moines fart. “The Farting Beavers of Des Moines” is what the locals call them. Beavers fart in Des Moines.

To sum up the summary: Beavers in Des Moines fart.

That would be called a “queaf”, right? Queaf, queaf, queaf. That’s almost an onomatopoeia, but not quite. Hmmm…I wonder if we’ll get ads for remote-controlled queaf machines now?

You’re wasting your time with the PORN references. Google doesn’t accept ads for PORNOGRAPHY. Also no ads for GAMBLING CASINOS. So lists of such phrases as HOT LESBIAN THREE-WAY ACTION, MILF GETS HER FIRST TASTE OF NUBILE TEEN COEDS, and LIVE WEBCAM SHOTS OF WOMEN’S COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL LOCKER ROOM represent vain efforts to influence content.
