I tried Mettbrötchen while visiting Köln.  They were neither half as good as the Germans at the party professed them to be, nor half as bad as I thought they would be.

But I tried it, despite serious misgivings!

That was taken out of context, and it doesn't change the fact that Dems were the party of slavery and segregation.  And I don't really consider the Huffington Post a very objective or non-partisan source.

Because hydrogen bonding between frozen water molecules keeps them relatively far apart, ice is approximately 10% less dense than liquid water at 4 degrees Celsius (or, in American terms, 41 degrees Fahrenheit). This allows bodies of liquid water to exist beneath ice, enabling life on Earth as we know it to exist (if water behaved like a normal liquid, the oceans would quickly freeze over and only the top several inches would melt during the course of a summer).

Marijuana was not illegal in the United States until October 1, 1937, when Congress passed the "Marijuana Tax Act".  Total debate time on the House of Representatives floor concerning this issue: 90 seconds.  This act did not actually ban the substance - it simply said that one could not sell marijuana without a license.  Of course, Congress refused to issue any licenses.  Congress finally banned marijuana outright in 1970.
