35% of our DNA is the same as daffodils have.

One of the ingredients of dynamite is peanuts.

I'm surprised that the percentage isn't higher. Seriously our species is a joke. In the end we all end up getting planted like a weed :lol:

Peanut butter & butter. It's delicious. Also try putting butter on your bread (as well as mayonnaise) for that liverwurst sandwich you're thinking of devouring. It enhances the flavor of the liverwurst. (Don't ask me how, it just does.)

And Hazelnut, I always thought you were part daffodil. :)

Peanut butter is vile.

Hull City is the only team in the UK footie league where you can't fill in any letters in the name.

If you hate peanut butter, you'll love this:



And the Hull City thing is definitely something I'll drop into a conversation sometime. :lol:

After this year, I'd swap you for 3 months of your Winter, as long as we could have a decent Spring and Summer.

This year has been one long cold and wet Winter. Spring and Summer took time off. :(

Probably not Kenny, don't think you'd like one of our summers, rain, rain and then rain. if it stops for more than a couple of weeks we are told there is a water shortage :)

Similar thoughts here in the U.S. where I'm at. I dread the thought of winter returning, and wish all the snow and ice would just go to the poles for several years to replenish them.
Complexity of incoherent design.

Michigan Blows..................a cold winter wind, that will chill you to the bone.

Speaking of cold facts!

Bill Gates earns $250 every second; that’s about $20 million a day and $7.8 billion a year!
If he drops a thousand-dollar bill, he needn’t even bother to pick it up because in the four seconds it would take him to pick it up, he would’ve already earned it back.

That will kick you in the snowballs! :lol:

That is what is so great about our planet's 15% tilt.You don't get bored with the weather.
You just wait a little while and you are getting "somewhere else's" weather. :lol:
I think we have come full circle, this year it seems like we are getting "our kind" of weather. It has been great for a change. Isn't "your location's" kind of weather normally great?

Ooii ! , did you say ´earn ´ referring to Bill Gates ? Just a lucky opportunist who was in the right place at the
right time . The brains behind the whole concern was Bill Allen or am I wrong ?
At least Bill & his lady wife have decided to do some good with their foundation ; the Fed should have got in
first & begged for a loan , at commercial rates of course .

I have tried eating daffodils ( when had too much pop ) . Definately not recommended as parts are
toxic .
