I learned today that if I buy a bottle of White Crow tomato sauce, that I only ever own the sauce inside....
At the bottom of the bottle it is embossed with "this bottle always remains the property of Cerebos (Aust) Ltd" |

So does that mean those nut allergies are fake, or a whole lot of folks are allergic to a whole lot of stuff! _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

Sort of a Munchausen by proxy deal.
I remember some stupid mother was on the tv complaining that the schools Indonesian day gave her kid some reaction to peanuts. Didn't realise satay is peanuts. Turned out she had made herself and didn't read the packet. Her argument was that nothing had happened in Bali and it was the schools fault. School argued Bali not all Indonesia and she had never told school about peanut allergy.Got nowhere.
Scho0l offered to have her host some other day where all the facts had been investigated but I guess she was such a fat bitch that she ordered KFC for her kids while watching My Kitchen Rules. Not anything with asians in it though but she might have twigged. Ph and Adam were chinks after all. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

Apparently it's something to do with the proteins in them, which is similar despite these things being remarkably unrelated.
Gotta admit, first thing that crossed my mind was, is it the "nuts" or something to do with how they're processed these days which is the problem _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

I like this thread, gonna keep bumping it.
Courtesy of Facebook, I learned a little maths trick with percentages.
Every one who's done maths knows that X x Y = Y x X right? 2x3 is the same as 3x2.
Apparently, the same works for percentages.
X% x Y = Y% x X
So, if you're trying to work out 18% of 50 in your head, just do 50% of 18 instead. Answer is the same.
Pick an example yourself.
25% x 80 = 20
80% x 25 = 20.

Another example of quick maths I picked up in high school from a mate.
If you want to add the numbers from 1 to anything, there's a simple way to do it without using Excel.
To sum the numbers 1 to X, do this.
((1 +X)/2) x X
eg, to sum the numbers from 1 to 37.
1+37 = 38
38/2 = 19
19 x 37 = 703.
Bingo. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |
