THE GOODNESS OF WHOLE MILK

The word "Nutella";

I imagine it must be less inherently hilarious when seen from the perspective of someone fluent in Italian, as I do not fall into that catergory I'm afraid it's among the funniest things I could think of today during my gender studies lecture. As if the fact I kept silently shaking with laughter during a serious discussion about women in the workforce wasn't enough, the only explanation I could offer was "I was thinking about Nutella";

i feel that that sounds unsavoury.

You could interpret it in so many ways. I know this is far from ever being correct, but what if they came up with it after seeing a girl called Ella holding a nut? Or maybe it's "nutel" said by someone with a Welsh accent. I wonder if it means something in Italian. Like, would the English equivalent be "Nutette" or something?

investigation on wikipedia led me toward not answers, but alas, more questions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutella

The questions are as follows:
-What in the name of god is "Nutella with Biscuit and Juice"?
-How have I lived for 19 years and not known about the existence of the word "Drupe"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drupe
-Why is there a table showing which countries sell Nutella that contains sugar when every column says "Yes", negating the need for the "Sugar: Yes/No" category entirely? To be honest I think it's kind of a given that any kind of chocolate paste would have sugar in it, but maybe that's just me. I can't claim to be the authority on these matters.

This isn't related to the above discussion, but here is a conversation I overheard during class today:

Teacher: Why can't you read the book?
Classmate: I...I have no hands.

She has hands.

DOLDRUMS

Do you think anyone cares about the difference between 7up and Sprite as much as people care about the difference between Pepsi and Coke?

BULGOGI

So the flight attendants for Korean Airlines wear either light blue blazers, or light blue shirts under a white blazer. The Korean Airlines livery is also light blue; therefore the outside of the aircraft matches the colour of the flight attendants' uniforms. I don't understand what purpose this really serves other than to avoid unsightly colour clashes should a fully clothed flight attendant somehow become stuck to the outside of the aircraft.

I might just be harbouring misdirected rage at the fact that the flag-carrier for my own country has pink uniforms despite the fact the rest of the airline's branded products are teal.

Further points to note include the fact that one of the flight attendants in the above picture appears to be a good foot taller than any normal human being, and that any airplane that requires at least three captains must be getting slightly outmoded.

BELGIUM

I haven't made a post in a few months but that doesn't mean I don't have questions.

That was a pretty awkward sentence, I think once a sentence has more than one contraction I automatically get confused and just skip over it.

Anyway.

Fudge. I was thinking about fudge a long while back, who came up with fudge? It just seems strange that someone thought to put, say, chocolate (which is already delicious) with some sort of thickening agent and then refridgerate it. Does fudge have a thickening agent in it? Like, flour or something? I think its made out of sugar. Sometimes it has biscuits in it though, and I mean, when you think about it, fudge might be the perfect food because it's like everything delicious imaginable put into one perfect food. Nuts, raisins, biscuits, caramel, nougat, chocolate. None of those things need to exist because, in the name of efficiency, we could replace all of them with fudge that contains all of those things.

I think I'm beginning to see the flaws in my own logic.

Belgium is a strange country because it seems like nothing ever happens there. I guess I think this because I don't read Belgian news or anything, but pretty much since SABENA went bankrupt or whatever happened to SABENA, nothing seems to have happened? SABENA was on its way out anyway, why would you have an international airline in a country that some argue doesn't exist?
