TIL if you forget to unlatch the lid on your glassware before microwaving it, you make a bomb.

Yeah, only some burnt fingers. It started squeaking really loud from the steam escaping and I was able to open the door and undo a latch to vent it before we hit criticality.

TIL that in Georgia, you can register Flex Fuel vehicles as "alternate fuel vehicles" which qualifies you to ride solo in the carpool lanes.

My 2004 Suburban qualifies...too bad I don't drive solo frequently where there are carpool lanes. I'd see if I could get a personal FFV license that says "Irony"

You made me realize today that I have never seen a carpool lane in Idaho.

i would've expected you being in the UK to already know this! it apparently originated in england..

they used to breed a dog specifically to turn meat in front of a fire--they were a terrier variation with short stocky legs and high energy. there'd be a hamster wheel mounted up near the fire place connected by a chain to the spit. whenever they wanted to roast meat, they'd put the dog up there to walk the wheel and spin the meat.
