Did you know that you can walk on custard?

Mainframeguy @Mainframeguy (200) 5 Jul 08

It is true - does anyone know the name for the physical property of custard that permits this? It is not the skin or meniscus layer... something else. And is there a "did you know" section on mylot or is this the closest? I...

Why so many fast food posts on this site?

Mainframeguy @Mainframeguy (200) 4 Jul 08

Why oh why are there people asking about McD versus BK and KFC etc etc ad nauseam on this site? Is this like the trailer trash of the 'net? It's the only conclusion I can draw. No fine cuisine, no gourmet, no cooking to speak...

Can a discussion be deleted? If so how?

Mainframeguy @Mainframeguy (200) 3 Jul 08

OK someone else makes a discussion and you feel it is inappropriate and maybe for good reason (illegal etc.) then how do these get cleaned up? I left a comment but that is hardly going to do it... surely there is SOME moderation?...

Mainframeguy @Mainframeguy (200) 2 Jul 08
