No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple..

"There is a growing awareness and acceptance within academic circles of the fact that flatulence may well be the primary cause of global
warming. Kindly do the math: World's current total population 6.7 billion X an estimated 10 emissions/day X 365 = 24.455 trillion human
farts on average per year, along with trace elements of atmospheric methane from cows. An alarming statistical footnote concerns China's
population which accounts for 20-21% of the global problem, as was quite noticeable in the air quality during the 2008 Olympic Games."

Originally posted by tomtom232I remember the HBO show Oz. They had the goldfish "story" as part of one of the cutaway segments. If I recall correctly, it was 30 seconds not 3. The line went something like "Imagine being in pain and thinking your entire life had been like that."
