The Snapple Iced Tea bottle cap (drank it this afternoon) reads as follows:

"Real Fact" #454: Polar bear fur is transparent, not white.

Wonder why the words 'Real Fact' are apostrophed - you mean the fact isn't real?? (not the case here, I checked - yes, polar bear fur is indeed transparent.)

Don't underestimate the power of punctuation, it can change the whole meaning of a phrase or sentence.

Case in point:

Sentence: "a woman without her man is nothing"

Punctuation 1: "A woman without her man is nothing."

Punctuation 2: "A woman: without her, man is nothing."

I would say that both meanings apply though, for though Eden was made because Adam needed a helper (i.e. Adam could not be alone), Eden would be nothing without Adam's rib :)

ABOUT ME-
Age:
23
Location:
Lil red dot called Singapore
What this blog is about:
A fodder of conversations -
I like to jump off the human bandwagon, grab a cup of coffee, and take time to talk, to my Papa God, others, and myself (not out loud of course). And it is in these times of quietude where a mess of thought becomes coherent.
5 minutes with me would reveal:
1) I love bread & coffee
2) I snack way too much
3) I love my movies
4) I have a strangely low voice for my look,
the latter often described as 'babyfaced'
5) I can be embarrassingly hyper or strangely subdued
(depends on when you catch me)
One more interesting fact:
The skinny figure featured on the left
was dreamt up and drawn by yours truly.
You can say it's me,
albeit with less hair and meat.
(same round face, though.)
