An Appraisal of the Utility of a Chocolate Teapot

by chamekke » Apr 7th, '08, 00:19

Since TeaChat doesn't have a humour section (yet), this seemed the most appropriate spot to share:

An Appraisal of the Utility of a Chocolate Teapot

For those unfamiliar with the expression, "as useful as a chocolate teapot" is a mainly British expression suggesting that the item under discussion has no practical use. This article puts the phrase to the test.

Hah! That was truly excellent. And I certainly wouldn't mind reading that "The Ability of Woodchucks to Chuck Cellulose Fibers" article, either...if it exists.

Thank you for that report chamekke!

Mary and Scruff - I would support legislation for further research and environmental impact studies on both of those excellent causes.

Bravo! As Chip says, if you are going to GO - GO GREEN.
