Although considered disgusting in Western culture, cockroaches are eaten in many places around the world. Whereas household pest cockroaches may carry bacteria and viruses, cockroaches bred under laboratory conditions can be used to prepare nutritious food. In Mexico and Thailand, the heads and legs are removed, and the remainder may be boiled, sautéed, grilled, dried or diced. In China, cockroaches have become popular as medicine and cockroach farming is rising with over 100 farms.

The cockroaches are fried twice in a wok of hot oil, which makes them crispy with soft innards that are like cottage cheese. Fried cockroaches are ground and sold as pills for stomach, heart and liver diseases. A cockroach recipe from Formosa (Taiwan) specifies salting and frying cockroaches after removing the head and entrails.

Yummy! (The USAF once served my little brother deep-fat-fried maggots.)

I heard a story about those fungal infected cicadas - their butts literally fall off but they still go around trying to mate with everything and leaving spores behind to infect more bugs. Now that would be great BS if it wasn't true.

And Snopes reported back: it's true ...

Jenny kiss'd me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief, who love to get
      Sweets into your list, put that in!
Say I'm weary, say I'm old,
      Say that health and wealth have miss'd me,
Say I've had a filthy cold
      Since Jenny kiss'd me.

I WENT into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, " We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, go away " ;
But it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, wait outside ";
But it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap.
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, 'ow's yer soul? "
But it's " Thin red line of 'eroes " when the drums begin to roll
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's " Thin red line of 'eroes, " when the drums begin to roll.

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, fall be'ind,"
But it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind.

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Chuck him out, the brute! "
But it's " Saviour of 'is country " when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An 'Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!

Too soon

too late
for better past choices.

The present is not all I got,
I still have all my past predictions.
I could go float in a sea of memories
that I swear I thought I forgot.

I looked at lodgings closer to home -- say, Island Park or Ashton. There was what seemed to be a nice place for only $1,499 per night -- which was about $1,400 above the the max I'd budgeted for. This place is quite mice and comes in at $93 per night.

Let me know if you ever want to stay in Island Park, Idaho and I'll send you the URL for a nice lodging place. Let me know how it was.

I've pondered the etiology of misinformation to consolidate power and ancient religions obviously came to mind. There are other more amusing examples of misinformation for misinformation's sake that are almost playful as in the 15th century Vornich manuscript. I would say there is an innate urge to create lies and a thirst to engage in misinformation. The raison d'etre of MOAB is to therefore satisfy a need for misinformation, supposition and realization of the absurd as in the early days of Moab.
When this country first engaged in birtherism many felt there is no harm done so let it go on. Now the lie has become bigger and the results more violent. If Republican think tanks think this is a path to consolidate power they are gambling with the fact that "Rome is the mob, and you can't control the mob". Even if only 30% of our citizens are a minority identifing with the mob it still represents a critical mass and can easily explode. The weak link in the chain of peace is often assasination, be it the Rabin murder or the Kennedy murder or the Sadat murder there is an ever present obstacle to the advance of rationality. The world of man is a world of lies that will eventually counter all truth until the civilization collapses. It is an inevitablity. UNLESS you buy Zazoom which cures all ills. Just spray it on My Pillow and sleep like an opiated angel.

Don't worry about it as paracompact manifolds have all the topological properties of metric spaces. In particular, they are perfectly normal Hausdorff spaces. Manifolds are also commonly required to be second-countable. This is precisely the condition required to ensure that the manifold embeds in some finite-dimensional Euclidean space. However, non-Euclidean Hausdorff spaces do exist (probability approaches certainty) as the existence of manifolds in Hausdorff spaces includes non-Euclidean manifolds.

I stripped an exhaust manifold bolt (header stud fer ye yanks) and marred the header threads on my old F150. I think it might have non-Euclidean.

I have wondered about a dimension of space that is in immediate contact with every other point in space irregardless of distance or time. Is that anything to do with manifolds? (trapped time?)

We have differnt conventional ideas how things are entangled with no connection to distance. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/how-do-you-entangle-particles.120001/

gnu, I have replaced a few things on older vehicles (pre-computer). The housing for the water temperature sensor (and the sensor itself - any time you open that you might as well replace the sensor.) On the old Ford Courier that Mazda built. 4-cylinder. And I changed the oil in my VW beetle and in my Ford F-100. The most I can claim to have done recently is change the cabin air filter in the Nissan SUV. What a bugger to replace - you have to be a contortionist to fit in there.

SRS, that old 74 F150 straight six didn't need a contortionist. Why, on a rainy day, I just a lawn chair in it, got in, dropped the hood, and changed the plugs or wires or alternator or whatever. My last F150? The only tool I could use on that was a credit card! Glad I sold it. But, last fall I got to ride in an F150, a Dodge Ram, and a Sierra. The seats in the Sierra are amazing.
