I was going to say I was fond of Rhubarb pie, but then I remembered it's a tart. But it's just the same as the Apple Pie I get.

I always did find it odd that rhubarb was so sweet. It looks like a leafy veggie to me.

I believe the leaves are poisonous. A quick Google search proved me correct.

When I looked it up this particular tidbit came up:
Humans have been poisoned after ingesting the leaves, a particular problem during World War I when the leaves were mistakenly recommended as a food source in Britain.

I remember when such things would weed out people from the gene pool. Bloomin' Google!

From this years Darwin Awards:
(March 2017, England) What's that smell? A burglar removed a few roofing shingles and climbed into the roof of a chemist shop in Queensbury. On his way down, the man became stuck and was strangled by his own clothes. The asphyxiated pill seeker was found several weeks later and well into decomposition.

Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour Turn your back on mother nature Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design It's my own remorse Help me to decide Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it So sad they had to fade it Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision Married with a lack of vision Everybody wants to rule the world Say that you'll never never never never need it One headline why believe it ? Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world
Big Dog! Big Dog! Bow Wow Wow!

I only heard the Tears For Fears single Head Over Heels for the first time a couple of years ago. If I didn't happen to catch the charts for a few weeks I'd miss everything.

I'm not up to date on music either. I used to listen to the charts on the drive to work back home, but now I don't really have an opportunity to do so.
I spend my commute to school reading handouts and cases for class.

I read on my way to work. Right now I am reading about Edwin Stanton who was Lincoln's Secretary of War during the Civil War.

If I find myself on the train without a book, I will take a word form one of the ads and see how many other words I can make with the letters

I've put lots of classic sci fi on my phone to read over the next few months.

Call me a Luddite, but reading books or stories on a phone is not something that interests me.
Still "Lardy" to my friends!
