Somebody here did a poll once asking if people like Miracle Whip of mayonnaise better. I assumed that meant they were two different things. They do taste different - Miracle Whip has that "zing" to it, while mayo is bland.

Am I just completely confused again? Maybe I should go back to bed.

From Wikipedia...

Miracle Whip is a salad dressing and sandwich spread manufactured by Kraft Foods. It is often used as an alternative to mayonnaise in recipes, although it is sweeter and has additional condiments.

I dunno man, if its near the mayo at the supermarket I'm going to call it "mayo".

I didn't know this until I found out a few months back,
but I have some sad news to report:

Japanese child star Mitsunobu Kaneko, aka "Johnny Sokko" was hit and killed by a truck in 1997, shortly after winning some sort of award for the show that made him famous, Jonny Sokko And His Flying Robot.

Alas, my life is one less light brighter than it used to be. Not sure, but he may have been related to Toho director Shusuke Kaneko and actor Iku Kaneko.

As a fan of the show, I myself am deeply saddened, and so are many of both sides of the Big Pond, I imagine. Bluesad

I didn't know until a few years back that there was actually thirteen (yes, 13) "Alice In Wonderland" books. I knew the movie was based on a book (with lots of details changed) but didn't know there were twelves more stories.

Also, did you know Mark Twain did two more books with Tom Sawyer? Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894), and Tom Sawyer, Detective. Guessing neither of these two did so great.

I'm a huge fan of Toho movies and anything Godzilla and look what I found out today...

I didn't know Goro Mutsumi aka Alien Leader Kuronuma (top middle) and Shin Kishida aka Interpol Agent Nanbara (right) from Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 1974 was in something called the Scientific Attack Force (SAF) from Magma Man (TV Series 1973) Japan.

I'm also 99% sure the man to the left is in Terror of Mechagodzilla. The Alien Henchman that says "dont try to escape earthling or you will force me to kill you".

Chickens lose the yellow coloring in their beaks and legs as they lay eggs. The better layer the chicken is, the whiter the beak. The yellow returns when they molt.

I guess the yellow goes into making yolks.
