The longest tapeworm ever found in the human body was 102 feet long.

The Worm Didn't Turn

Cute 404 page on The Food Channel:


I was a little disappointed I wasn't able to find the recipe for Chicken Alfredo Soup right away, but I guess it's like real life; it's better to bite into an apple and find a worm than biting into one and finding half a worm.

How Rural Are You?

You Are Rural
 

You have a real yin for the quieter things in life, and as long as you're in nature, you never feel like you're missing out.

You are drawn toward a slower pace - one where you can hear yourself think and see tons of stars in the sky.

You have a depth that others seem to lack in these modern times. You connect deeply with people, nature, and ideas.


You don't get why people are always in such a rush. You believe that life needs to be lived mindfully in order to be appreciated. 


 
How Rural Are You?

I believe that's "yen" instead of "yin".  While "yen" is the currency of Japan, it also means "hunger". 

But yes, I do have a hunger to live in the country.  When I grew up miles from town, I couldn't wait to get out on my own and live in town.  It didn't take long for me to realize I wished I was back in the country.

Disqus 404

Got this "page not found" message on a movie site that uses Disqus for comments. It was an animated image behind the message and was cool looking, but i didn't recognize the movie or TV show from which the scene was taken. If I had to guess, what with the primitive/fur clothing and the winter landscape, that it was something from Game of Thrones (which I don't watch).

I was disappointed the link didn't work, but I didn't feel like crying like the guy in the graphic seems about to do.  Then again, if it IS GoT, then the poor slob is probably about to get executed. 

Anybody have a guess?

(click image for larger view) or you can view the page here.

Note:  After publishing this post, I do as I always do and checked the link to make sure it worked. (this blog doesn't have a 404 page, not that I know of)  I got a Batman animation with the same message, so it must rotate among different scenes.

I was trying to look up the profile of a guy who had been whining that his last post had been deleted by the moderator.  That post, as well as his account, seems to have been terminated...just like the guy in the scene, I bet.  Yep, winter is coming.

Difficult to Prove

Man, these "prove you're a human" things are getting harder and harder.   I had to go find my glucose meter for this one.
