"brains Notes: Even adventurous eaters often draw the line at brains, and it's just as well, since they're loaded with cholesterol. Those who do eat them often scramble them with eggs. It's very important that brains be fresh, so either cook them or freeze them the day you buy them. Substitutes: sweetbreads (Brains and sweetbreads can be used interchangeably in most recipes, but brains aren't as well regarded.)"

- Cee Bee
I had a friend who ordered a brain taco at a Mexican restaurant. The waitress asked him if he was sure about his decision, since nobody actually orders the brain taco. He was drunk so he went through with it. The taco was gross. It smelled weird. It looked awful. My friend became ill after eating a few bites. Not sure if it was from the brains though. I mean, he HAD been drinking. Aw, who am I kidding? It was the brains.

My parents have no problems eating brains. I can't say that I've knowingly eaten it before. I personally draw the line at Vietnamese duck blood. *barf*

I've had cow brains mixed in with scrambled eggs when I was about 8 or 9. I remember the eggs tasting REALLY good until I learned what the gray bits were. I mean, really good like the best eggs I'd ever had. My grandmother's favorite part of squirrel was the brains. Yes, I'm from Mississippi.

If you were showing your kids Star Wars, whould you start with episode 1 or 4?
ha3rvey (chee-la-key-les), Carlos Ayala, Stephan Miller and 12 other people liked this
Funny, my wife and I were discussing that very subject this morning with our 10-year old nephew. We haven't shown any of them to our almost-five-year-old daughter. Thinking of doing so soon, and planning to start on the classic first movie (number 4 in the 9 part series).
- John McCrea
I don't have any kids (not even married), I find it weird (to me being an star wars kid) that anyone would consider showing episode 1 first. Just me though...
- Justin Korn

- Justin Yost

They started with 4. And I still haven't let them watch 3. Too little.
- Cyndy
http://www.fanpop.com/spots... This article suggests 4-5-6-1-2-3 is best for newbs to the series, but that way ends on a complete downer. It also offers a compelling argument for 4-5-1-2-3-6. I've seen 4-5-6-1-2-3-4-5-6 offered by hardcore SW fans as the best way to watch the whole series, but that way is obviously an insane amount of movie watching, but it preserves the twists and ends on a high note
- Rob Haas
4, without a doubt. Quality over quantity.
- Aram Zucker-Scharff
from twhirl
4!
- Scott Lockhart
I would start our with 4 and pretend 1 never existed :)
- (jeff)isageek
Robert Haas: interesting link, thanks for sharing.
- Justin Korn
Definitely 4-5-6. They really are a self contained story. 1-2-3 are just filler.
- Chris
I agree, start with #4. Even after 30 years it still holds up. It's fun, the effects are pretty good, and there is a plot. It is so good, they use the same elements again, and again, and again in the rest of the series.
- Lorraine Ball
Four -- hands down. I might not show them the first three until they were old enough to understand why Lucas would do such a thing.
- Brian Bufalo
Place laptop above TV and _simulcast_ Episode 1 & 4 - the kids love this multi-tasking thing, and for adults it's like practicing a 1/2 marathon to get ready for the full one which is Mike Figgis' Timecode film.
- Micah Wittman
from twhirl
Star Wars begins at 4 and ends at 6. 1, 2 and 3 are blights.
- AJ Kohn
You have to start with IV so that the line, "I am your father," has some punch.
- Vezquex: God of FF
I always get into arguments with my 9 yr. old over whether or not 5 is better than 3 (the latter is his favorite), but I agree with Vezquex: 4 and then 5 for the punch.
- James Hull
My five-year-old has grown up with the prequels, but likes the originals better. No need to run them out of order, a smart kid will figure it out anyway.,..
- Chris Reed
Episode 4, duh! Just like I read "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" first.
- Trevor Carpenter
4-6, then wait 20 years and show them 1-3 :)
- Odi Kosmatos
I started with 4.
- Thomas Hawk
Definitely 4.
- Jordan Hofker
Episode 4 and then skip 1-3 altogether. LOL
- Stephan Miller
from Alert Thingy
What episode 1?
- Parth Awasthi
4 of course.
- Steve Isaacs
Four. I refuse to acknowledge the prequels as anything other than slash fiction.
- Steven Perez
If you show them 1 first, they won't stick around for 4.
- Dave Pelland
I started with ROJ for my 3 year old. I thought he would like the ewoks to keep his interest up. Turns out he liked Vader the best. So then I ran eps 4-6 and then 3. I didn't want to scare him away with jarjar. The most proudest moment as a dad was listening to my son in his best vader breathing voice - "daddy, I'm your father!"
- Dylan McIntosh
from fftogo
The only good Star Wars was 5, end of story. 4 sucked cause Lucas directed, and 6 sucked because it should have been Wookies and not Ewoks. 1 through 3, well, they don't even count, do they? ;-)
- Sebastian Lemery
I'd show them 1, 2, and 3 when they're still under 12 years old, and then show them 4-6 when they're closer to 17. That way they won't hate 1-3, and they'll really appreciate 4-6. Of course, but the time any kid I might ever have would turn 17 I'd have to figure out when to show them 7-9.
- Kevin Fox
Honestly I barely recognize the first movie in that series as being a movie. I would probably start with the original set then move on to the newer ones with lessons in the dangers of remakes.
- Steve Spalding
4 hands down. "I am your father" and all that entails wouldn't work otherwise.
- Peter Stathakos
4 no doubt. The surprises around "I am your father" and "I am your brother" are wasted otherwise.

If you are looking for Windows hosting and you need a SQL Server database and are considering GoDaddy, be aware that they do not let you connect to your db with Enterprise Manager so your only choice if you ever want to make a backup or change hosts is to pay more than $100 to have the make a backup for you.

I can't count how many times that happened when I worked the support desk. The last time, the person quickly amended "No, not the website - I need Google Earth installed and don't have download permissions. Lord, I must have sounded like an idiot."

Harvey: Use a webOS like http://g.ho.st! ; ) Heheh! You will feel like this with its virtuality. ; )

Haha. Everyone knows that it's called The Google and you need a lot of gigahertz to run it - silly person.

Sure, I charge $1.00 a gb for program installs.

ever open a bottled water, you don't hear the seal break, then you think "did I already open this? or am I about to be poisoned?"

Drink tap water -- fear of poisoning much reduced.

lol all the time!

Yes. And I agree with @briansullivan but also because it's less wasteful. There is generally no benefit to bottled water, only plastic waste and money spent.

I do not agree with Brian Sullivan(?) There has been poisin reports of nuts throwing it into the water. But thats just some of the cleanest water in the U.S.

Penn and Teller did a whole show about this on Showtime. Tap water is regulated by thousands of EPA agents. Bottled, FDA one guy.

Just got back from camping in Italy - they have taps all over the place in towns to get water. Why don't more countries do this?
- Rich
Bottled water costs more than gasoline. That's a bit screwed up...
- Andrew Leyden
yes.. yes I do.. don't drink it man!
- JADonnelly
for sure, and drink it only if you are in the desert with no other water source to choose from. Drinker beware!

Yes. I do. But I go ahead and drink it. Beat back the dark gremlins in your head Kevin!

yes in india, my face turned white and the host noticed. He then shouted something to the "boy" standing in the corner and the water bottles in the room were replaced with ones that went 'click'

Do what The Queen does, use a British Berkefeld water filter. It can filter out just about anything evil. http://www.jamesfilter.com/
