Oh, I've been to that hole. It's where the locals go to throw all their science books.

I think Mel picked up the hole and put it in his pocket. So one of his pockets is bottomless. Don't put your keys there, Mel!

For what it's worth, IF anything, i also sent this to an older woman who now resides in Alaska, and she said all she knows about it is that mel talked about it on the show. A while later the military came, put a fence around it and placed it "OFF LIMITS", somewhat like Area 51, gave mel a LOT of money and he went to Austraila for a long time.

I think the military

's moved it to D.C. and that's why we have a 'bottom-less' pit of debt today. The

's.

BMAONE, I loved that Yellow Submarine movie!

Or maybe I should have used this smilie?

It says that this smilie is a "derp", but I don't know what a "derp" is. But it looks like a happy but zany person. Thanks for showing it to me, Beyond!

Here are some "derp" definitions from our friend Google.

Orin, by the way, I love your coffee video. Particularly the "coffee pot houses".

Indeed .. and I love the sound of vinyl! Thanks for the video.

Seems to be an epidemic of 'holes' around here all of a sudden. NOT a problem with the 40-inch 23 pound lobster i'm posting about. You'd need a giant bucket just to hold it in, so no worries about a litte ol' hole in it.

The last lobster I had was a female laden with eggs. I was so surprised because I had never seen lobster with eggs served as food. I don't know how it even managed to make it out of the ocean since breeding females are supposed to be thrown back. Maybe it happened while it was in the waiting tank?

Lobster and eggs. I would imagine they were boiled eggs? How was everything? Good?

It tasted the same as cooked fish eggs. I think they taste good. Hard to describe the flavor. It's kind of subtle. And I felt like I potentially destroyed an entire generation of little lobsters in one bite. I'd rather not ever accidentally get the pregnant ones, even if the flavor is admittedly not bad.

How could you geckzilla?! Poor lobsters that were never meant to be...

But I can't blame you. Blame the cooks who were cruel enough to cook those lobster eggs. They were the ones who, like you said, destroyed an entire generation of lobsters!

Fascinating, Beyond. Blue people in Kentucky, a 30,000-year-old plant being grown by scientists and, who knows, woolly mammoths being next.

(But are you sure you want a woolly mammoth?)
