What were you saying again about lost humor? I thought my post was pretty damn funny, but maybe I am the only one. It still doesnā€™t change the fact that your "because this is the PIT. . . ". was pretty old, dumb, and unnecessary. ---

**QuickSilver** , youā€™re watching the news. Thatā€™s your problem right there. You canā€™t expect news on the news, especially the local news. Itā€™s all about pandas and Christina Aguilera and how to cook a turkey. Stick to the internet, _The Daily Show_, and the occasional viewing of CNN or BBC News. And **Diane** , if your ass were any tighter we could stick a lump of coal up there and in 6 weeks weā€™d have a diamond. Seriously, consider the decaf next time. ---

I put the phrase ā€œpanda recipesā€ in Google (secretly hoping for a Googlewhack) and got 99 results. Of course. ---

Pandas, as well as plenty of mamals in general have been doing this for eonsā€¦ why is this suddenly cool? Or newsworthy for that matterā€¦ Particularly in captivity?

Wow, a recommendation to switch caffiene intake, and a Ferris Beuller reference! what next, a reference to 1985 calling and wanting itā€™s originality back? As for 3) Hi Opal, that shit got tiring in 1999. ---
