For Those Astronomically Inclined...

Education is knowing that tomatoes and cucumbers are fruits.

 

Intelligence is not putting them in a fruit salad.

Are you implying that our American friends lack intelligence?

Well, I wouldn't choose those dishes from a menu. although nothing the Americans eat surprises me.

 

Maple Syrup for breakfast, something called grits, peanut butter and "jello" (whatever that is), popcorn, fries with everything.

 

I think its some sort of masochism, nothing to do with intelligence.

 

....and not just America - we offer dried bran for breakfast which the manufacturers imply should be eaten as a sort of " 'elf-an'-safety" duty.

 

Perhaps they should rebrand it. How about "Fillvoid Studge" ? Feel free to use that name gents, and send me a modest 0.25% commission on increased sales.

 

:offtopic: There used to be a snack bar in Brighton called "The Cat and Cucumber" offering various off-beat sandwiches............

Not sure what the Powerball has got to do with space. No mention of Brian or Dara.
