I used to work in a friend's candy store and we sold these (along with pooping cows and reindeer). We had one on the counter so people could see how they worked. Most grown-ups would remark on how disgusting it was just before tossing one of the jelly bean poops into their mouth. This usually happened before we could warn them of how many people had handled the poop. We would just keep putting them back in until someone decided to eat them. I figure if they don't have the manners to ask then it serves them right.

Does the guy with the safety harness (wimp) really think those safety lines are better kept than the path? Which has holes in it?!

I almost wet myself right at the end when he jumps down off the little wall that is overlooking a zillion foot drop.

No way. Ever. Even for money.

The test seemed like it could be biased although it is hard to tell while attempting to rush through. Some of the subjects did not appear to be "black" or "white." Who determined the classifications? Some objects were unclear against the background while some were quite obvious. Was this equal between the two racial distinctions? All this proves is that we (the test author included) still feel that skin color is a valid way of separating ourselves. Even disregarding that within their own test there are many subjects who could easily be classified as both or neither option.

"It’s interesting how people will pick and choose which mental disorders need to be treated and which need to be indulged. When a female thinks she is male, they say we should make her look like a male. Same deal with homosexuality.

However, when people have something like schizophrenia we need to treat it. "

If a woman does not feel comfortable with her body because it doesn't fit with society's ideas of what her body should look like and she wishes to inflate her breasts to 3 times the size nature intended, that's okay. We "indulge" her.

If she does not feel comfortable with her body because it doesn't fit with her own brain's ideas of what her body should look like and she wishes to remove her breasts she is sick and needs treatment.

Why do we have to make people feel wrong if they aren't exactly the way we say they should be?

Watch all of Amanda Baggs' videos on YouTube and you may learn something about diversity and acceptance.

Of course, you have to want to learn.

Now I can't drink bottled or tap water? Dos cervecas por favor. Oh wait, they probably make that out of tap water. Should I start collecting rain? Damn, smog.

We're gonna get awfully thirsty.

I count the American way, but strangely enough, although I am right handed I count money as if I am left handed. (From the right hand into the left.) It feels awkward the other way. I wonder what that says about the way I perceive money?

According to snopes this is essentially true, but the presence of cocaine does not mean that 4 out of 5 bills have been used as a coke straw. It simply means that the drug is a very fine powder and easily spread around.

Sara. 42. Cambridge, MA. Married, 2 kids ages 8 and 5. I don't come everyday but I do read every post. I try to convince everyone I know that their lives will be greatly enhanced if they visit Neatorama regularly. They usually don't believe me until about the 10th time they send me something cool and I say I already saw it on Neatorama. Just more proof that people would be better off if they just do what I say.

I guess there is no tactful way to say to someone, "Your son is the creepiest looking thirteen-year-old boy I've ever seen. Are you sure he isn't a 33-year-old woman attempting to escape testifying in a child abuse case?"

Walt Disney World experimented with this back in the early nineties. Different roads around the property played bits of different Disney tunes as you drove over.

Does this mean we have to think it's evil now?
