Why do we want to preserve the memory of rats? Somebody has created an experimental drug that preserves memory in rodents.

Watching Mythbusters tackle the idiom "When S*** hits the fan" with a vertical fan. Maybe I am over-thinking this but isn't the idiom usually referring to a level of S that is rising and eventually hits a ceiling fan?

That was always my thinking. Someone heaving it upwards into a ceiling fan, spreading it around the room.

I didn't think of it that way. I always pictured it hitting a fan and spreading all over the place. The writer of Naked Gun did too:

S**T HITTING THE FAN

Yeah that's it except a higher speed fan and a semi fresh cow patty.

I decided to change my avatar. So if you will go to the football page, there is a poll to allow everyone to vote on what my new one should be.

Also, i realize that this comment in-fact has warranted its own thread, however, I felt like posting it here for all subscribers to see.

Shak Lucas is going to be a very good dlineman before he's done here.

I really like our line with him, Hitt, IK, and Broha. Get Lacraig Brown in the mix next year with a healthy Jellybean.. look out.

i predict the word "ginormous" will be in webster's before my youngest kid is old enough to look it up.

I'll start this off with an astute observation on the fact that I am, in fact, getting old:

I just literally told a bunch of kids to get off my lawn! Unfortunately, I didn't shake the fist, but I SHOULD have.

this thread is over 3.5 years old. The first one is still funny.

"Lifestyle" is in there, so why the heck not include "ginormous."

Although, I struggle with the word "ginormous," as it shares a phoneme with "vagina." But, that actually accentuates the poeticism of "ginormous mangina," which is a surprisingly handy phrase.

I'm gonna try to use that in a sentence today.

And with the Tenn/USC game on, i might even get to use it before lunch.

1. Drove to the store to get a 9v battery.

2. Put the new battery in the electronic device and found that it was also dead.

3. Decided to read the instructions to the device (carbon monoxide detector) and learned that it makes the same "chirp" sound to warn that you are in danger of dying from Co poisoning as a typical smoke detector makes to let you know your battery is weak.

4. I opened the vent on the fireplace and now I have a spare 9v battery.

"The expression [the s*** hits the fan] is related to, and may well derive from, an old joke. A man in a crowded bar needed to defecate but couldn't find a bathroom, so he went upstairs and used a hole in the floor. Returning, he found everyone had gone except the bartender, who was cowering behind the bar. When the man asked what had happened, the bartender replied, 'Where were you when the s*** hit the fan?' [Hugh Rawson, "Wicked Words," 1989] "
