    Microwave rice water spoon

    A question of pressing importance.

    When you're making a microwave meal with a rice compartment, it used to tell you to put a spoonful of water in the rice half way through. They don't require that any more. What's changed? Have they just started putting moister rice in? Why couldn't they have done that from the word go?

    Secondly:
    When going for a nice Sunday afternoon walk in the country, a common site used to be miles and miles of brown cassette tape threaded through a hedge, no doubt after being discarded from a passing Sierra on an adjacent B-road and left to the tender mercy of Boreas' playful gusts. It saddens me that thanks to CD's and MP3's, the next generation may never see this beautiful counterpoint between God's and man's creation.

        I suppose they help in the development of an inquiring mind as well

              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    sight

                    I thought the tape was left there by satanists who'd recorded their curses, and wanted to spread the misery along that stretch of road.
