"Release the file! Imprison the 'philes!"

I saw this in the comments section on youtube of a Rachel Maddow segment about how none of ktasnov's cabinet was fit to be a "designated survivor". Stealing it!

I shall tell about the time I decided to put the immortality of Twinkies(tm) to the test.

I randomly chose a Twinkle from a box in the snack bar and placed it on a cool dry shelf in my office. During the years long experiment I would check it on a semi monthly basis. During these checks the only noticeable change in the subject item was that it became solid like stale bread. I attributed this to the dry climate and the permeability of the plastic wrapper allowing any volatile liquids to evaporate.

It continued unchanged at this condition… For years!

In the period between the final two checks, some tiny ants that occasionally infested my office had discovered the Twinkle, perforated it’s protective wrapper, and carefully mined out any consumable portions of the study subject. Leaving a lattice of the yellow “sponge” and revealing the exact portion of edible material in a Twinkie. The portions missing. (It was less than half of the whole.)

This prompted my research into nano machines and their potential as a side effect.



I only relate these stories because I find the constant drone of the boorishness surrounding all things Trump to be soul snuffing and tiresome.
