9.5.09

• I try to be open-minded and flexible, but there's a list of things I know for sure that I don't want for myself. Growing jaded and bitter is on that list.

• Soldiers started mixing jelly with peanut butter during World War II to make it easier to eat.

• Powdered rubber (think car tires) helps make gum chewy. Thinking twice about swallowing it now, huh?

• Does anyone else get the feeling that you absorb less when you're reading something on a screen vs. reading it from a book? I bet that's what makes online classes so hard.

• Word I'd never seen until today: denuclearization.
