I’d rather sit in a box with a tube that strangers fart in all day than drive behind a POS diesel.

When I start gagging on diesel I think of all the crazy things I’d rather smell. I hate diesel, plus this:

“Tiny chemical particles emitted by diesel exhaust fumes could raise the risk of heart attacks, research has shown.”

Oh absolutely! The red burps question was from her younger sister, but they're both great kids...each with their own concerns :)

My wife heard me playing the molasses video on my iPad, so I had to explain the world being flooded with milk.

Funny stuff.

What was I thinking when I decided to have peanut butter on wheat toast and Icelandic blackberry yogurt for breakfast?

At the same time.
