    Spaghetti noodles a Fing stupid. Why TF would anyone want to work at eating something that long? The 'fork twist' maneuver not only is a waste of time and effort, but its hardly effective at getting all the noodles into a bite-size that avoids having to messily slurp and/or raining spaghetti sauce all over the place. Theres a hundred different shapes of pasta that all work better than spaghetti noodles, and their all made of the same stuff. Why spaghetti noodles? WHY?!?

    It may sound crazy but different pasta shapes taste different.

    You're right, it does sound crazy. I bet you couldn't tell the difference between spaghetti with noodles vs spaghetti with those spiral bits if they were both blended up into liquids first.

    I prefer linguini myself but it is strange that the different shapes "taste" different. May be that we use different sauces for the different noodles?

    I think its more that some people associate texture with taste.

    These people are, of course, CRAZY ;)

    My mom used to break the spaghetti noodles so they would fit in the pan. Years later my brother was living with a full blown italian chick and he was making spaghetti and he broke the noodles just like Ma always did. That set off a FIRESTORM. She almost broke up with him.

    Ya, it would be nasty. My wife prefers elbow shapes with meat sauce. I like spaghetti noodles with tomato sauce. I cut it up too.... with my fork.

    If I was going to open a restaurant it would be an italian one. The margins would be through the roof. Noodles are cheap. I have seen a meatless plate with noodles and sauce cost around $16.

    I had a dream that precisely that happened to me a night or two ago. They were living in something I picked up (I don't remember what, but it was definitely something ants never live in, like maybe a football) and then they were suddenly everywhere.

    They are a curse. They seem to explode during wet years. I am going back to gasoline on the mound. I want them dead.

    Supposedly a large chunk of dry ice over the mound will fill all the tunnels with CO2 and suffocate the entire colony.

    I guess I can't see them surviving gasoline either, but it'll prolly ruin the soil there.

    Standing in line at the fast food joint and the couple in front of you didn't bother to look at the menu until they get to the order taker.

    this one is a classic. it ranks up there with the fool at the checkout line that doesn't think about finding their credit card or money before their goods are all totaled up and bagged or that insists on vainly searching through their purse for the last few pennies to come up with exact change.
