Someone in a fermented food Facebook group asked what she could use instead of "glutenous [sic] rice", as she is gluten-free.
I have a pet termite. His name is Clint. Clint eats wood.

While I accept that the slit experiment is mindblowing, it is as nothing to trying to understand how the laws of physics seem completely ignored when you knock over an open tub of pungent spices, and it appears to be able to materialise in five places at once.

2 extremely boring deliveries today. One a chunky amount of oven cleaner, second a small amount of heartburn liquid available off the shelf. Had show age idea for the second which I could have drunk in a oner in front of the bemused delivery urchin with no effects but none for the oven cleaner with which I could have gone on a rampage of some considerable effect.

For an extended tour, presumably, but why Fuller's Earth, and what is a sticking p'aster?

I think FB's algorithm for things I might be interested in buying is a bit off

Born #OTD in 1923, in Townhead, Glasgow, baseball player, Robert Brown Thomson.

Known as the 'Staten Island Scot', his pennant-winning three-run home run for the NY Giants in 1951 is known as the "Shot Heard 'Round the World", and is one of the most famous moments in baseball history.

On the site I go to to look at birthdays to help suggest stuff for the music thread, it highlighted that it is Spencer Perceval's birthday. He's given the vip treatment witb a special box and a portrait of him. The description is: British statesman and Prime Minister (Tory: 1809-12), born in London. I think they may be missing something.

It's just a candle but I feel I need to call out the hazmat brigade to take care of it.
