Cooking Pork...

Is it true when cooking pork if you can see any red inside that means you'll get food poisoning?

scarydog Got to say that it's a bit of an old wives tale nowadays(well in the UK anyway). True, there did use to be parasites in pork, although most of them seem to have been eradicated now....although most people do prefer their pork cooked throughout...it just...

Any Ebay Powersellers out there?

funnycole @funnycole (392) • United States 11 Feb 07

I met one in one of my discussions...but really what exactly is a powerseller? Does EBAY have to invite you, do you have to sell a certain amount, do you have to have a store, are you still charged fees, or do you have a flat fee?...

Why Do People Yawn When They See Others Yawn?

villerules @villerules (34) 10 Feb 07

This one has always interested me... I heard it was because your mind thinks that other person is stealing your air, so you have to yawn to get it back. What do you think??
