Why does he have 2 personalities?

Why does he wear a rat on his head like it is 1982?

Why does he think he is a professional when he bets 20 dollars a game?

I can answer the bald one. No hair colour listed, nor eye colour, though I remember when I first got the licence eye colour being part of it. Got into a disagreement with the woman at the desk. I have unusual eyes, sometimes they look blue-grey, other times green-grey. I said green, she's looking at me shaking her head, saying, "your eyes aren't green".

The only physical feature on my licence is height. Maybe it's different for you yanks.

A: Once upon a time, there used to be a B-cell battery. But just like the second sister on the ABC’s Family Matters, the B-cell battery simply found itself written out of the script.
Here’s what happened. Battery letter designations are based on the size of the battery for common sizes. Hence, A is the smallest, and D is the largest. By that same logic, AA batteries are larger than AAA. Unfortunately for B batteries, however, it wasn’t the size that counted.
The fact is, you never see B batteries around because they just aren’t very useful in America. Essentially, the mid-size battery never caught on in products made for consumers, so stores didn’t carry them, and the cycle just fed itself. The truth of the matter is that B-cells, like artsy directors and good jazz musicians, are really only appreciated in Europe, where they’re used primarily for powering bicycle lamps.

Why doesn't glue stick to the insides of the bottle?

Glue contains a solvent which evaporates when exposed to air.

Why do black olives come in cans and green olives come in jars?

OK, OK, jars vs. cans. Let's start with green olives. Green olives are picked before they are ripe and are packed in jars, brine-cured for eight months, and then bottled cold. You can also let the olives stay on the tree and ripen until they turn either purple or black, then pick them and pack them the same way. Olives in brine remain edible for many years stored in jugs, crocks, or jars in a pantry. No refrigeration is required.


Canned black olives are different, though – they're ripened artificially. The back story: Olives used to be grown almost exclusively for use in making olive oil. But in the late 1800s there arose a widespread demand for pickled olives. Lots of different olive packaging methods were tried, but none was practical for large-scale commerce until George Colby and Frederic Bioletti, researchers at the College of Agriculture at the University of California, Berkeley, perfected a method for packing olives in metal cans. It was a doctor's widow, Freda Ehmann, though, who really made it profitable. Starting almost from scratch in the 1890s, Ehmann took a small olive farm and turned it into one of the first major companies in the United States to sell olives as a fruit; more than any one other figure, she created the national market for what became known as "California ripe olives." According to Judith M. Taylor and Kevin Starr in The Olive in California, at first Ehmann "sold her olives in barrels, kegs, and then glass jars." By 1905, however, she'd adopted the Bioletti/Colby method and did a booming business until 1919, when a botulism outbreak ended her run at the top of the canned olive game.


So: what is the artificial ripening process that makes it necessary to can canned olives? I spoke to Rosemarie Fusano of the Fusano Olive Company and she gave me the rundown:

Once harvested, [the olives] are placed in a water/lye solution in a holding tank where oxygen is piped in. After 24 to 48 hours the lye is washed away and the olives have turned black from the addition of oxygen. The purpose of the lye is to penetrate the fruit almost down to the pit. This makes the olive edible right from the start. Once the lye is washed away, a fresh brine solution is prepared and ferrous gluconate is added, which sets the color. The olives are then ready to be canned. A light brine solution is prepared and added to the olives in the can. Because the olives are then in an anaerobic environment, the chance of botulism developing is great. Therefore, the fruit must be cooked in cans for a certain amount of time.

So you can't process artificially ripened olives in jars – the glass wouldn't withstand the cooking temperature.


Because green olives don't undergo the addition of oxygen and are packed in brine, in which the salinity and the pH levels are high and low enough, respectively, to inhibit bacteria growth, they don't have to go through the addtional step of having to be sealed in metal and cooked.


Besides, they look pretty in glass jars.


And that's olive what I know.

Women's brains cannot handle being a pilot. This isn't even a joke, this is fact.

EDIT: This applies to commercial airlines only... There have been many small plane pilots who are female.

Yes, they do. Most do not want to be blacker, so I'm told.

Women Pilot Statistics:

Of 120,614 Commercial pilots in the United States, only 7,315 or 6.06% are women.
Of 141,992 Airline Transport Pilots only 5,008 or 3.53% are women.

There are women pilots.

Their brains can't handle it? Seriously? Source please.

How about that being a commercial pilot was for the most part a career that was a natural progression for military pilots (with that being a male exclusive club for years based on women not being allowed to serve in combat areas).

It's still a career that is seen as an almost mens only club, but there are 7,000+ commercially licensed female pilots in the US alone. That's a lot of abnormal brains allowed to fly with passengers I guess.
