And I Make Your Pee Stink

You Are Broccoli

You are down to earth and practical. You go for whatever is tried and true.

You tend to be a bit cautious, but you're not as boring as people think. There's a little room for spice in your life.

You are very healthy, and you take good care of yourself. You do your best to make good choices.


You are reliable and stable. You may not be the hottest thing, but people come back to you over and over again. 


 



Not sure about being very healthy or taking good care of myself or even making good choices, but I think most of the rest holds true.  Well, maybe not reliable and stable, either, but I DO like broccoli.

The one problem with it is it's on the list of foods to avoid if you're prone to kidney stones...but I don't pay a lot of attention to that list.  Then again, when I'm in the throes of agony from a stone, I always regret not paying attention to the list.

Oddly enough, a good online friend of mine and I were talking about vegetables earlier today on Facebook after she had posted a cauliflower recipe.  Cauliflower isn't in the results, but I wouldn't have minded being that vegetable, either.  After looking at all the possible results, I'm surprised I wasn't a mushroom.

Why?  Well, because I'm usually in the dark and people feed me crap all the time.

Let Sleeping Cats Lie

A "bump" from July 3, 2007 - not because I don't have anything else to post, but because the photo is better than any clipart I could get to illustrate this bit of trivia.

Cats sleep for 70% of their lives.

Valerie - Steve Winwood



I was listening to an online classic rock station earlier when this song came on; while listening to it, I thought "That sounds an awful lot like Call on Me by Eric Prydz!". After reading about both songs, I found that Prydz had indeed sampled from the Winwood tune and had presented the tune to Winwood and (from Wiki) he was so impressed with what Prydz had done, he collaborated with him and re-recorded the vocals to fit the track better
