So I'm trying to quit smoking, so I gave all my paraphernalia to one of my friends a couple of weeks ago. Now I definitely haven't quit, but I've cut way back. The main reason? The only thing I have at my house is papers, and I roll the ********* joints known to man.

Good morning Lakshmi!! :)
For breakfast, I will be eating a sunny side up egg, toast with butter jam, chocolate protein shake with milk, and a package of mekabu seaweed. Yum! :9

Good Morning! I didn't go grocery shopping yet so I will have to just live my breakfast vicariously through you. Luckily, my boys didn't finish their pizza last night.

It depends, i think Alberta is 18, Quebec is 18 (but they are french and no one really counts them as a "real" province anyway, more like visitors who have over stayed their welcome), afaik the rest are all 19, However the legal age did used to be 21 across the country, I don't remember wen it changed i as probably to young, and if it changed again I don't remember because I was probably to drunk.


We would cross from Port Huron, MI, into Sarnia. It's only about a 90 minute trip. I was always impressed when we were allowed in since it seemed like my friends were always competing to see who could come up with the stupidest reason for visiting without getting our asses detained.

If I am honest, I am probably more surprised that the US let us come home.

What kind of age do you guys over the pond in America actually start drinking? I'd say average age for drinking regularly in the UK (in my experience) is 13/14, maybe slightly earlier.

Wondering whether the minimum drinking ages just fails in general, or whether people start drinking at X years before they are supposed to.

Good afternoon, people! I just woke up roughly one hour ago after a tedious session of researching for my oral presentation that I will be giving this evening in Biology class.

I chose to do my presentation on Camponotus saundersi, a species of carpenter ant that has an amazing super power: It blows itself up to poison its predators/foes!

I've heard that one before too, though I'm not sure if its just one of those common myhts which turn out to be untrue.

Are daddy long legs classed as spiders?

Having realised that wiki could asnwer my questions:

Daddy Long Leg Information!

Daddy Longlegs is a name used for different things in different places.

> Crane fly (Tipulidae) (the most usual sense in British English), an insect
> Harvestman (Opiliones) (in North American English and British English), an arachnid, but not a spider
> Cellar spider (Pholcidae) (especially in Australian/New Zealand English, but also North American English and British English), a true spider

I always grew up calling Crane Flies Daddy Longlegs.

Neither the Crane Fly nor the Harvestman has venom glands, and the venom of the Cellar Spider is fairly innocuous. The urban myth that Daddy longlegs are the most venomous insects/spiders is completely untrue, it even featured on Mythbusters. (Season 1, Episode 13 "Buried in Concrete")

The urban legend may stem from the fact that the daddy long-legs spider is known to prey upon deadly venomous spiders, such as the redback. By extrapolation, it was thought that if the daddy long-legs spider could regularly kill a spider capable of delivering fatal bites to humans, then it must be more venomous, and the fangs were accused of prohibiting it from killing people. In reality, it is merely quicker than the redback.
