    Yeah, but to get into Molossia, you need to have a passport and surrender your pocket change (unless you come from another micronation). And he's also at war with East Germany.
    Also claimed some territory on Venus.

    Today I learned: How to make no carb bread and rice

    Ya'll all know how long I've been trying to get fit, but I'm always falling juuuuust short of complete success and I'm certain its my intense love for carb heavy foods that is to blame. Well, I just so happened to stumble upon a few alternatives that will allow me to eat my favorite foods nearly guilt free.

    The first is called Oopsie Bread and you can use it as a flat bread, a tortilla, toast, hamburger buns or hotdog buns. Its made with 3 separated eggs, 1/2tsp Baking soda, 100g cream cheese, and a pinch o salt. You use a whisk or blendy thingy to whip the salt and egg whites until they're mega airy and cling to the bowl even upside down, then go to the other bowl and blend the egg yolks, cheese and baking soda until smoothed, then you gently fold the egg whites into the yolks (no stirring) you want to keep the mix as fluffy as possible. Then get a parchment lined baking sheet and lay down an even number of circular dollops (size will depend on what you're using them for). Bake 25-30 minutes until the tops are golden. cool them on a rack and store someplace they won't get soggy (be sure to slip something between the pieces so they don't stick to each other.) If they get a bit too moist, just pop em in a toaster. Here are the ones I've made

    The second recipe for cauliflower rice couldn't be simpler. Just get a head of cauliflower, grate it or use a food processor, then cook it in some olive oil. I haven't made any yet, but i'll be trying recipes out later on tonight

    Today I learned that the order of sharps (F#,C#,G,D,A,E,B) is nasically the order of flats but backwards and with no flats. (Bb,Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Cb,F) and that the number of sharps/flats differs from each letter depending on the key.

    Today I learned that shotguns and rifles actually are legal in England, you're just not allowed to carry them in public and you need a firearms license to obtain and keep them.

    I really thought the online descriptions were kidding when they said it tasted like Christmas trees, but lo and behold Santa's dick is firmly lodged in my mouth when I sip gin XD

    Today I learned (or possibly realized) the correlation between "Sneakers", the shoes, and being "Sneaky".

    Lol! I am naturally a stealthy person and I don't think about it or know that I am in "Stealth Mode" (not all crouchy and stuff) a lot of the time. I walked up on one of my co-workers today and scared the pee out if her when I started to ask a question. There was laughing and such and I said, "I forget sometimes how sneaky I am." and she said commented something about my sneakers I was wearing and it kind of "dinged" in my head. Hey Sneakers - Sneaky...but yeah those two may not actually be connected, I just thought it was interesting.

    . The word "sneaker" is often attributed to American Henry Nelson McKinney who was an advertising agent for N. W. Ayer & Son. In 1917, he used the term because the rubber sole made the shoe stealthy. The word was already in use at least as early as 1887, as theBoston Journal made reference to "sneakers" as "the name boys give to tennis shoes." The name "sneakers" originally referred to how quiet the rubber soles were on the ground, in contrast to noisy standard hard leather sole dress shoes. Someone wearing sneakers could "sneak up" on someone while someone wearing standards could not.[4]

    Earlier the name "sneaks" had been used by prison inmates to refer to warders because of the rubber-soled shoes they wore.[5]
