Should people with a nut allergy eat Honey Nut Cheerios?
The answer to this question is: 'No.' Followed by 'What?!?'Or, even, answering that question with another question: 'Are you retarded?'
The stuff people enter into search engines boggles the mind sometimes. Was this a legitimate question?
Did somebody with a nut allergy really wonder if it was okay to eat honey nut cheerios? Which, it would be safe to assume, contain nuts. Otherwise they'd be breaching the Trade Descriptions Act!
Good grief! It's idiots like this that force us to print instructions on toothpicks!
More to the point, it's idiots like this that force us to write 'May Contain Nuts' on packets of peanuts (leading to the response: 'Well, I should bloody well hope so!')
So, to answer this question: "You know what, chum? Why don't you go ahead and pour yourself a big bowl of honey nut cheerios and dig right in?"
It would be nice to see Darwin's Theory of 'Survival of the Fittest' in action just to prove the conservatives wrong on creationism.
What does it mean when a New Jersey resident has Pennsylvania Plates on their car?
Well, it could mean that their car is registered in Pennsylvania!People can live and work in New Jersey, but still keep their auto insured and registered at an address over in the Keystone State. I had two friends who lived in New York, but kept Pa. plates on their cars because the insurance was so much cheaper.
But, just as likely, it's owned by an illegal alien who's got hold of a set of Pa. plates so he can drive about without being pulled over by the local cops.
Where I live, in an almost entirely Spanish neighbourhood, a significant number of cars have battered plates from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland and even Texas. They're all driven by illegal aliens (and mysteriously, the local cops do nothing about it.)
In either event, I'd recommend keeping your distance from cars with out of state plates. If somebody's living and working in Jersey, but have their car registered elsewhere, insurance companies often refuse to pony up if they have an accident.
If you get into a smash with an illegal driver, on the other hand, they'll normally speed away from the scene of an accident just as fast as their piece-of-shit cars will let them.
What does Quantum of Solace mean?
As I explained in this post, the Quantum of Solace is a reference to a short story written by Ian Fleming and first published in his anthology For Your Eyes Only.The Quantum of Solace is the almost immeasurable spark of love and compassion one person has for another. They say that the opposite of love isn't hate, but indifference. If that quantum of solace is extinguished, the relationship is over.
James Bond himself, British actor Daniel Craig, perhaps explains it better than I can: "Ian Fleming says that if you don't have a quantum of solace in your relationship then the relationship is over. It's that spark of niceness in a relationship that if you don't have you might as well give up."
Quantum of Solace is also the name of the upcoming James Bond movie, set for release this November.
What does the nickname Simon James and Hill mean?
Simon James and Hill are two talented radio presenters I've had a bit of an antagonistic relationship with ever since they took the helm of Original 106's breakfast show.I suggested that they weren't right for that audience - and the bosses at Original clearly agreed with me, since my old colleague Pat Sissons soon took over the coveted Breakfast show.
But the boys are talented - and swiftly got got promoted to breakfast show presenters on Keerang! radio, following smug git Tim Shaw's well overdue dismissal. Their rambunctious antics make them a perfect match for the popular rock-radio's audience.
As for the nickname? Simon James and Hill is the duo of Simon James and James 'Hill' Burrell. It's a cute moniker that has lots of people asking; 'are Simon, James and Hill three distinct people?' Or, as I once thought; 'are there two Simons, James and Hill?'
Whatever the reason for their nickname, you can read more about the breakfast boys here.

To be fair to the Cheerio-queriers, there is another cereal called Grape Nuts, which contains neither grapes, nor nuts. (Though I do wonder what that would taste like.)
I just linked to your post in January about the Quantum of Solace.
Bond is one of my favorite movie franchises. Daniel Craig is actually my favorite Bond ever - not to knock Connery but he is as good as Bond can be in this century and as close to what Ian intended (IMHOP).
One of my absolute faves is On Her Majesty's Secret Service, not because George Lazenby was such a phenom but because Bond marries Emma Peel - yes I'm talking about Diana Rigg. As a child of the 80's I adored her in reruns of the Avengers.
Consider the offspring of Bond and Mrs. Peel? Awesome!
You put that Daniel Craig reference in there just for me, didn't you? Who's being the flirty minx now? ;)
Seriously, I need to stop talking about him. He's going to put a restraining order on me. And that will make our intimate relationship rather difficult.
