• Commented on Homemade butter
  Our kids learned how to make butter at a demonstration at the Saskatchewan Western Development Museum a few years ago. Don't need a churn to make a small batch, just put the ingredients (sorry, don't know them off the top...

• Commented on The Fonz, Richie, Andy, and Opie are pro Obama

• Commented on William Gibson bags and coats
  @#18 (Radioguy): Another example of reverse product-placement is the red Swingline stapler from Office Space - the production staff custom painted a number of standard black Swingline staplers, but it wasn't until 2002 that Swingline actually released a red version....
