    We haven't had pennies in a while now. Phased out in 2013

    You made up for it with Loonies and Toonies, right, eh?

    From @SCompRacer's post above (and FWIW):
    Looks like a carbon cake, to me. The rapid and delightfully exothermic dehydration of sucrose by a concentrated acid (typically sulfuric). A great science class demonstration... at least back in the good ol' days...
    EDIT: I see the microwave platter, so maybe microwave-induced and somewhat less rapid dehydration of carbohydrate... same net effect. Probably smells like brown bread.

    The stunning image, titled 'The Fall of Icarus', was taken by astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy, who specialises in taking photos of the sun.

    A photographer has captured an 'absolutely preposterous' snap of a skydiver appearing to fall from the sun.

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    They picked one of the most congested spots in Metro Atlanta. I won't be going there anytime soon. I really don't care for Chicago dogs, but I do like Italian beef sandwiches. I suspect this is primarily an interest for the Illinois transplants.

    I had always pronounced it "tin-EYE-tis," but my wife's audiologist says "tin-i-tis."

    What is the difference between eye and i, or are you are just showing the emphasis on the middle syllable? It is actually 'tin-eh-tus' or 'tin-eh-tis' depending on the accent of the doctor.

    Saw this on Flickr today and it kinda caught my eye. This guy George Hamlin likes to take photos of trains and stations and aircraft, and by all appearances has been doing it for quite some time. His photos are generally very good; some are outstanding. He seems to focus on what I'd call central Virginia for a lot of his photography. I don't know where Mt. Crawford, VA is (it's a big state, you know, compared to puny ol' NH)... but next time I am down that way, I may have to sidle on by... B)

    It's a bit south of Harrisonburg off of I-81. Did some antique hunting around the area years ago. Nice auction house there too.
