In the UK they call ranch flavor "Cool Original", which irritates me to no end. Ranch was not the original flavor; nacho cheese was. Weird thing is, they sell ranch dressing here, so there's no reason not to just call it "cool ranch."

I'd nominate Simon Kernick. I don't know how that man ever got a publishing contract.

What about the fact that they changed the definition of "obese" in 1998, in order to make more people medically obese, without anyone actually gaining weight? The last statistics I saw, since the 80's the average American has only actually gone up about 14 pounds.

As a fat woman I can promise you that men and women can be just friends. Men will claim that they can't, but as soon as the woman in question is fat or unattractive, friendship is all they ever want from them. This question always assumes average or attractive women, as if those of us who are ugly have no gender at all.
