Most Hated Foods - WHAT?

I heard about this on the Frank Decaro Show this morning, and I was kind of shocked. I love most of the foods on this list, which is the top twenty most hated foods in America.

#1 Liver - Yeah, I agree, gross.
#2 Lima Beans - I can take them or leave them.
#3 Mayo - Yum.
#4 Mushrooms - Yum.
#5 Eggs - I hate egg yolks. Scrambled eggs with cheese is good.
#6 Okra - Love okra - particularly fried.
#7 Beets - Nothing wrong with beets.
#8 Brussel Sprouts - I love brussel sprouts.
#9 Tuna - Yum.
#10 Gelatin/Jello - Delicious!
#11 Sour Cream - Love it!
#12 Pea Soup - I can take it or leave it!
#13 Oysters - Never tried it.
#14 Peas - Yeah, they are yucky.
#15 Raisins - Delicious.
#16 Cooked Carrots - I can take it or leave it.
#17 Onions - Yum!
#18 Cilantro - Double yum!
#19 Maple Syrup - Are you kidding me? It's delicious!
#20 Blueberries - One of my very favorites!

My personal most hated:
#1 Pork Brains
#2 Liver
#3 Liverwurst
#4 Pork Chitterlings (affectionately known as Chitluns)
#5 Green Peas
#6 Sardines
#7 Egg Yolks
#8 BBQ Pork (I don't like meat in general, but BBQ Pork is particularly gross to me.)
#9 ... Well, I might as well stop here, because other than various meats, I really have nothing left to list.

I sure do like Electric Six:


I particularly like the video for their cover of Queen's Radio Ga-Ga, but I can't get it to embed here. I highly recommend you watch it here on YouTube.

The happiest day of the year

An academic has worked out a mathematical formula which he says proves June 20 is the happiest day of the year.

It is down to a combination of lighter evenings, the prospect of holidays and memories of childhood summers, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Cliff Arnall, a psychologist and former tutor at Cardiff University, worked out the equation: "O + (N xS) + Cpm/T + He".

O stands for being outdoors, N is nature, S is socialising with neighbours and friends, Cpm stands for childhood positive memories, T is the mean temperature, and He is holiday expectation.

I hope your day is happy!
