  1. I wonder... on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 1
    ...if anyone's considered finely shredded mozzarella? Think about it. You're hovering over your keyboard, a nice big bowl of shredded cheese in hand.

    Considering that you'd probably be eating this because you're too lazy to make any real food, let's assume you have no utensils to help you along with eating this cheese.

    It's highly likely to drop to the keyboard as you grab finger fulls of it and shovel it quickly towards your mouth between reading and typing responses.

    Now, being cheese and finely shredded at that, it's likely to melt and smell bad if left for any length of time. Not to mention that if it's had the time to warm up to room temperate, it will be nearly impossible to shake it loose or air blast it from its place between the keys. Eventually it would solidify and make it even harder to remove.

    Yes, not only is shredded cheese a danger... it also fits in nicely with the current poll. ^.~

  2. Re:eHarmony is religous on Online Dating Advice? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Personally I am a very non-religious sort. Out of the curiosity this string of comments had brought to light I decided to go and take the test myself.

    I am not religious, not spiritual, and the only thing I feel strongly about is my computer. I answered the questions accordingly and I was accepted, with 4 matches in a 300-500 mile radius. All of these matches were 10-20 years older than me.

    This leads me to believe that maybe it isn't so much that eHarmony is religious (though that does seem to play a large part), but that most of the people who use it are in an older demographic. Or perhaps those who have applied and were rejected just weren't very datable.

    They seem to be relying heavily on common interests and "kindness". I personally think that is a mistake, as people are not always great at analyzing themselves. I'm sure more than one person has put that they consider themselves amazingly kind... when truthfully they're a total ass. Or even more common is the person who considers themselves to be a cold evil bastard... when they have a good heart.

    In the end no one is very good at deciding on a level from 1-7 how good or bad they are at anything. Dating in this format, as with so many other dating sites, quizzes, and polls... are completely and utterly pointless.

    Religious or not, it is highly unlikely that you will find anything more than another lost hopeless feeling individual who you may or may not end up meeting in the future. So then, perhaps you should be glad if you're rejected. Be thankful that you aren't filled with the qualities that would allow you to fall victim to their sick "match-making" game.

    Pedaling off false hope for money.
