"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."

Now, there are some edible insects, such as locusts and grasshoppers, and those may be intentionally put into candy, but those of the accidental variety would never get through...
The same applies to "rat feces" in peanut butter... The idea is just asinine...
Sorry, one of my pet peeves are scare stories about food... Now, if you wanna talk about Jello...

What about "antidisestablishmentarianistic"? Or would that not work... Would it just be (in adjective form) "antidisestablishmentarianist"? which would have the SAME number of letters as the other form... Hmm...
Here's some trivia? Know what that word means? It's someone against the removal of a state church... So, many people in muslim countries would likely be antidisestablishmentarianists. It's not a double negative as my friend had pointed out, because it does not simply mean "for the establishment" but specifically "against the disestablishment" It's impossible to be antidisestablishmentarianist in a society that doesn't have a state religion... The most you can be is establishmentarianist.

Nope, it's true... It's not just Sony. Basically, any camera with the zero lux (infrared, I think) that works when there is full light can do it... Cameras now won't let the IR come on when the light is too high, because when there is light, you'll see through thin clothing and see an ugly green colored basic shape of whatever's underneath... It's not strong enough to see through, like, Jeans or 2 layers of clothing like a shirt and a bra... I remember when they found this out, it was on the news... Like they needed to give girls any more reason to be paranoid about cameras... *sigh*

Mosaics that read "Beware of Dog" could be found on doorsteps in ancient Roman cities.
The romans are said to have fallen because of their dogs. they where the first civilisation to let their dogs sleep in the house at night.
you know what is an interesting fact? that bananas are yellow, they taste good, and they are healthy... ^_^ tee hee
Humans share 50% of their DNA with bananas.
No it DOESN'T...
The chocolate companies would be shut down if that was the case... I've looked up the stats, a whole leg, at least of most bugs, could never get through inspections, even a fleck of it's exoskelleton would be like 1 tiny fleck in a large quantity of chocolate...
Now, there are some edible insects, such as locusts and grasshoppers, and those may be intentionally put into candy, but those of the accidental variety would never get through...
There are laws as to how many bug parts can be in chocolate. A dont remember the details, but its no a bodypart to weight basis. The pieces are so small you cant see them.
Nope, it's true... It's not just Sony. Basically, any camera with the zero lux (infrared, I think) that works when there is full light can do it... Cameras now won't let the IR come on when the light is too high, because when there is light, you'll see through thin clothing and see an ugly green colored basic shape of whatever's underneath... It's not strong enough to see through, like, Jeans or 2 layers of clothing like a shirt and a bra... I remember when they found this out, it was on the news... Like they needed to give girls any more reason to be paranoid about cameras... *sigh*
It was by accident mostly because that kind of camera was banned in the 80s
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words.
It also appears to be longer than antidisestablishmentarianism by 8 letters. the longest word was started as a hoax, has 45 letters and is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, according to wikipedia.
Chimpanzees are thought to be our closest living relatioves on the grounds we have 98% the same DNA only by people who dont know we share 99% DNA with mice. Take that evolution.

In 1500 B.C. in Egypt a shaved head was considered the ultimate in feminine beauty. Egyptian women removed every hair from their heads with special gold tweezers and polished their scalps to a high sheen with buffing cloths.

The majority of Scottish clans descend from the Dalradian Scots King Colla Uais.
Except for those of Norse ancestry.
MacBeth and Duncan I were first cousins.
Malcolm III's second wife St.Margaret The Exile was the granddaughter of
Edmund Ironside and thus a direct descendant of Aethelred II.
Aethelred II's nickname was not The Unready but rather The Redeless.
In Saxon Redeless means Without Council.
Among the mythical ancestors of the Saxon Kings are:
Priam,King of Troy
Thor
Odin

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."

In Israel a shaved beard was a sign of discrace and baldness was considered a sign of stupidity.(hence the storey of Elisha going to the mountain and boys calling him Baldhead. Prophets doent curse people for nothing)In 1500 B.C. in Egypt a shaved head was considered the ultimate in feminine beauty. Egyptian women removed every hair from their heads with special gold tweezers and polished their scalps to a high sheen with buffing cloths.

As are 90% of the toxins used to keep insects of it.
MacBeth is considered a good King and often gave money to the poor he met while traveling.MacBeth and Duncan I were first cousins.
this is an urban myth, as proved on the show Brainiac. All noises should echo.a duck's quack doesn't make an echo. pretty crazy huh?
I dont want to offend anyone by quoting, it just helps me remember things that might be interesting.
In Britain, if 1,000 people list a religion on a cesus, it is officially recognised. There was a group during the last one trying to get people to fill in the religion segment with jedi.
