I am disappoint. I thought for a moment that Rhianne had begun posting again. Nope, not a jot OR tittle.

There are 14 McDonald's within 5 miles of where I'm sitting right now. The nearest is 1.1 miles away.

I could walk to it, buy a double quarter pounder with cheese(780 calories), eat it and walk home. A 300 lb person burns 159 calories per mile at 3 mph. I would net 430 calories if I did.

Gotta love the Double QP.

The Double QP's around here are juuust a little greasier than the regular QP. Just the right amount of greasy, though.

I would have sworn that I learnt this here, but...

Most mammals take around 21 seconds to pee.

That's nothing. After a few years of that, Cherrapunji, Meghalaya, India will be under 1042 feet of ocean.
