I'd just like to point out that yesterday I overheard one of those women casually describe something as "riveting". I don't know how to describe how that made me feel, but I find myself feeling that way kinda often.
I think she's probably just fucking with you now.

That crossed my mind. She didn't say it to me, and didn't know I heard it.

I'm amazed that they've never heard of rivets, considering that every single one of them undoubtedly owns and wears jeans… with rivets in several places. I mean, seriously, how the hell can anyone grow up and not know what a rivet is? Do they have to be reminded to breathe?

I wanted a new pair of Levi's last week so checked on the size of one of my old pairs…. And found I didn't own any.
And it turns out that my new pair of 505s have no rivets. I blame Osama.

Just overheard a girl talking about her friend dating and Italian guy, and she added "I think it's her goal to date a guy from every race "

Both my parents are Italian but I never thought of my family as a specific race. Wasn't offended but pretty sure when a black girl looks at me she thinks white dude. Now I feel so exotic!

True, that. In a first world setting, I'm less concerned. And Mac and cheese? What The? emoticon

We did partake of a few fried cheese curds, not many, but enough to make my kid wish they had a functional gall bladder.

Deep-frying is a bit of a thing with fair foods. I'd heard the neighboring state of Iowa had deep fried butter as an offering...

In South Africa, you may legally grow weed for your own personal use.
It was declared cultural heritage in some indigenous communities and personal use was decriminalised.
Commercial hemp production is also increasing for textile and construction use.

I just learned this week that "poop knives" are a real thing, often shared amongst family members because of genetics.

I don't know what to do with this information.

Maybe not overheard, and I going to provide some context, but still pretty funny.

Out at dinner the other night my wife orders a chamomile tea.

Our server was a young surfer kid who seemed very eager to do a good job. Innocent and polite in a way that you don't expect young adults to be anymore.

Almost too awkward and shy to be in a customer facing role.

When he returned to our table he handed the tea to my wife and says, 'Miss, here is your camel toe tea.'

Even my six-year-old turned to me and said, 'Dad, what did he say?'

Here, a industry standard regulates the standard test specimen in toilet development, known as the "Normschiss" (standard poop), which specifies the minimum size of the toilet and pipes.

From Wikipedia:
"Standard test specimen in toilet development

In the functional test of toilet flushes carried out in accordance with DIN 1385 and EN 997, artificially simulated "faecal sausages" are used as test specimens to replace real human faeces. These standard test specimens are not available for purchase, but must be produced by the tester himself from artificial bowel and other materials."
right: standard test specimens for the function test of toilet flushes
left: four "orderly" inserted standard test specimens before the flush test.
