Sure, whoever has the means has the right to build a huge house, but I think we are all wondering WHY this house is being torn down. It seems like a real waste of time, labor, and money. Was it built by someone who later found they couldn't afford it? Was it a case of they can't sell it because no one ELSE could afford that much house? Or was it an experiment?

pwscott, a family who is homeless would not be able to heat this house, much less afford the maintenance.

Defriend would be a better choice to conform to the (rather fluid) rules of English. However, for this word and others like it, you can probably blame the geek who came up with "undo" as a computer command.

Johnny Cat, thanks for that blog -fascinating!

OK, but what does spending a penny have to do with it?

That guy in The Crying Game was pretty good.

dave9, I was told that, too, but be sure to crack them first. Seems to work for me!

Interesting list! I will have to check out some of your feeds.

What is weird is that I use the words "portal to a parallel universe" and someone feels the need to point out that its fake.

7-Up is nothing -where I live, they put Mountain Dew in baby bottles, even today.

Hmm, then how would one explain people like me? I pinch pennies like crazy, and hate to spend any more than I have to. At the same time, I'll gladly give away anything I have to someone who needs it.

Oh, I'm a MOM.

Any fool can see that this is an instrument of torture.

Melissa, I'm sure it is horrid for the cow to have an amateur practice on her!

I'll change that, Skipweasel. No, I wouldn't say "the blacks", but I've often said "the elderly".

Originally? It's still a Cracked article.
