That's the beauty of it. See, the world-renowned best cure for a hangover is (drum roll please) A FULL ENGLISH . Fried bread, sausages, mushroom, beans, bacon, egg, you'll be right as rain. Plus some hair of the dog helps it go down a treat

I don't know about hangovers, but you English do know how to do breakfast Except the mushrooms, of course.

I take it you have never eaten an English Breakfast. The description failed to mention all in enough grease to insure it all slides right through you.

What's wrong with mushrooms ?

Have you guys both been reading Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything"? I was reading it last night and I read about both of these within a few pages of each other.

Another good one about Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23) is that this number is equivalent to the number of popcorn kernels needed to bury the entire USA to a depth of 9 miles.

That's not quite accurate. To bury the entire USA to a depth of 9 miles you need [(6.022 x 10^23)+48] popcorn kernels.

LOL, thanks for the extreme pedantry.

You'd say no to these field mushrooms?

(yes, I discovered the little kitty emoticons!)

darn it wic, stop making me hungry.

Oh, grease is great. I'm from Hungary, remember? Our entire cuisine is drenched in it

What's wrong with mushrooms ?

They are... just... wrong. (Well, not all of them. Shiitake isn't bad.)

You'd say no to these field mushrooms?

'Fraid I would.

(yes, I discovered the little kitty emoticons!)

The ones with the hearts don't seem completely appropriate to the situation

Unless they are meant for the mushrooms, not me.

Let me guess for you & Mushrooms you'd use this one ?

Looks like bacteria own the earth!

They out-number us 50 to one in our own bodies. Bleh.

Don't forget archaea! Everyone always forgets them

Even though their abundance is comparable to, or even exceeds, that of bacteria in some habitats and ecological roles. (Papers in Nature Say So, HA!)
Also, they are huge contributors to global warming, if cow burp is the planet-destroying threat they say it is

And this is called the Age of "New Life", or the "Age of Mammals"

Pshaw.

I'm with you regarding mushrooms in general, although, have you ever tried north american black morels?

Served with marshmallow-peep-flavored soul, they're a poignant counter flavor.
Although I've heard that they are pretty good with pretty much everything.

2 page derail because I mentioned alcohol. Excellent. You all owe me reps.

New fact: Your urologist is lying to you when he tells you that recovery from the laproscopic surgery you are about to have on your testicles will be complete in 1 month.

Of course they're for the mushrooms! Look at them, all glisteny and moist, tantalising me with their flavz.

Another random science (and mushroom) fact:

If you eat a type of mushroom, which have what looks like a nipple on them, you get to see really cool colours and a friendly bear. Of course you don't really have time to talk to the bear because you are trying to figure out why your face is made of play doh, everything else is made of lego, and what is this weird vortex to my left that is trying to pull me into the netherworld.

I'd imagine your main concern would be why the TREE IS EATING THE SKY. Seriously. The tree ate the sky once.

Well, the sky is seriously evil. So I would say fair play to the tree.

If we were to fold out the layers of the lungs of a human body... they would cover the length of a tennis court.

If the entire population of China were to walk by you in single file... the line would never end due to the rate of reproduction.

Is there one with a flame thrower?

And this is called the Age of "New Life", or the "Age of Mammals"

Pshaw.

Only mammals call it the age of mammals

Nope.

People are just weird. *walks off, shaking head*

What if they ran?
