From General Questions: **Why don’t we put a comma in the year? (i.e., 2008, not 2,008)** What would it hurt if we did? “The, year” **Is a Refrigerator Running for 46 Years Safe?** If the ump doesn’t call him out, he is, but damn, that would sure be a slow game! **Please, tell me you can’t do this! (Warm Refrigerator)** Do what? Run it for 46 years? **What would a magnet do to my laptop?** My guess is that it would probably f\*ck it up really bad. **What are “Black Churches” really like?** Probably hotter, as I imagine that the dark paint absorbs more heat. **Do seagulls ever perch on trees?** No, because then they’d be treegulls. From In My Humble Opinion: **What does “marriage” mean to you?** Something that will never happen for me, and the more stories I hear about divorce, infidelity, asshole husbands and bitchy wives, the gladder I am to be single. From Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS): **I just got spam from the Catholic Church!** Is it the plain stuff or the extra spicy variety? From The BBQ Pit: **I’m done with my sister** Can I have her? ---
