That's for sure, who leaves a protractor in the oven. It'll melt and mess up the cake.

Yeah, I was thinking about that too not that I know anything about baking cakes except maybe a Duncan Hines cake mix with instructions.

I heard one story though of a kid who wanted a vanilla cake but his mom had only a chocolate cake mix so he baked it without the chocolate component and it was a disaster.

I think it has to be Kelvin. Firstly, there is no specification, and secondly, the plastic won't melt this way.

In German the word "fast" means almost.

Don't you just love those false cognates? :eek: German "Gift" = English "poison".

...hmmm, ... whether Troy has something to do with it ... timeo Danaos et dona ferentes ...

But seriously, both come from old versions of to give. As gifted can be said as given (talent). Funny is, that the stuff that brides contribute to their marriage, linen, laces and so, dowry, is called "Mitgift" in German: given along. The word poison is of Latin / French origin, meaning potion - potare - drink. The USSR wasn't the first power that divided the continent. So the only difference is basically whether someone passively gives you poison or you actively drink poison. Not really much of a difference. What always makes me nervous is, that the French have the same word for poison, poison. However, fish is poisson ... Languages are funny.

I've found Hollywood (CA), Hollywood (PA) and Hollywood (FL). Hollywood (MT) must be somewhere in this hole though.

There is only one thing that really surprises me. If "a bit" is enough, then I have a good idea what "normal speed" must be. O.K. as living in a country where there isn't a general speed limit (although this isn't true for this kind of roads), I don't have a problem with it. But how in hell will you be able to take the bend in about 200 m down the road? You survive a real marvelous stunt and then a simple turn will kill you?
