My grandmother invented scrambled eggs in 1952. Before that, any time an egg yolk mixed with the egg white during the cooking process, it was known as "failed fried eggs" and thrown out. My grandmother was the first to do it on purpose, and revolutionized the breakfast industry!

Ketchup and mustard are just mayonnaise with different food colourings added.
Hostess Twinkies are not baked. The "cake" part is actually produced as a result of a chemical process which grows it, similar to growing mold or fungus.
Hair gel was invented accidentally when someone tried to produce a synthetic alternative to cow snot.
Mozzerella cheese is a more efficient thermal insulator than anything used in the construction industry. A 1/4" thick sheet of mozzerella cheese has an equivalent R value to 36" of fiberglass insulation.

Bill gates, far from being the evil mega-corporate CEO that the media makes him out to be, is actually a penniless hermit who lives in a wooden shack in the Nevade mountains. After programming PC-DOS, he was fired and left to his fate by the Microsoft Board.
I know this because he's my uncle.

I know. I hacked the ISS's internal systems, including the cameras, with my TRS-80. You need a shave, and you should probably hold on to something. I've found the thruster controls.
Edit: silly double quoting.

I have it on good authority that two aliens using a Macintosh are going to dock and upload a virus into your main computer system, thereby causing the ISS to come crashing down near the Pyramids of Gaza. Various alien dance/festivity venues overlooking the site are already being booked as we speak. Be careful up there.

France will win a war someday. France has won wars in the past. The recent wars France has lost have been to Germany (, WW2, Franco-Prussian) when Germany was at its most powerful and military focused, and against colonies. Some of these colonies were Vietnam, which went against a lot of people, and african countries like Algeria that were fighting the same way.
About the "I invented the internet" you're probably making fun of something that Gore said that got turned into something else. If Gore actually put money or at least his energy into growing the internet, what are you making fun of?

LIAR!
Through careful study of the first page of my first google search on the subject, I have discovered references to a certain "W. Johnson", who, in 1884, invented the first ever egg beater. Thus, I find it hard to believe that your grandmother, who, at the very least, was born a full 20 years after the invention of this illustrious device, 'invented' scrambled eggs. I denounce you, Mr. Deebye, as both a lying troll and a Republican!
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.

Hi,
To step up on this train:
Blizzard is working on Diablo 3. It's true, they have been ever since LoD came out. That's why most patches weren't too big a progress: just a few guys were working on them. Internal Blizzard sources confirm that it's gonna have 1024x768 graphics, and another utterly new approach to the skill/spell system. Release dates aren't confirmed yet, since the game is still at pre-pre-alpha-state, but officials estimate the game to take until the fourth quarter of 2005 until a beta will be downloadable. Distribution will probably start, according to an internal Vivendie Universel production manager in summer 2006 at the earliest.
Now, if that's not an outrageous claim! :lol:
