This thread is hard to read. I guess that's the point though. Congrats folks, we may have achieved random and meaningless!

Actually, there are deeper meanings to be found in this thread.

I remember an episode of Hogan's Heroes where they were able to play a secret recorded message which was embedded in the thread of a pair of socks sent to one of the prisoners.

I watch that show about every night. Occasionally there are some things I don't understand in it at first, but the same can be said for certain actor references in the show Green Acres. For example, taking Green Acres for example... most kids today wouldn't get the joke where Oliver takes a bite of buttered toast and a king crown appears on his head. I did get that much, though.

I liked Green Acres as a kid, but I guess I grew tired of it eventually. I still watch Hogan's Heroes on occasion.

Too much candy: Man dies from eating bags of black licorice

A Massachusetts construction worker’s love of black licorice wound up costing him his life. Eating a bag and a half every day for a few weeks threw his nutrients out of whack and caused the 54-year-old man’s heart to stop, doctors reported Wednesday.

“Even a small amount of licorice you eat can increase your blood pressure a little bit,” said Dr. Neel Butala, a cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital who described the case in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The problem is glycyrrhizic acid, found in black licorice and in many other foods and dietary supplements containing licorice root extract. It can cause dangerously low potassium and imbalances in other minerals called electrolytes.

This was a sad story, but I'll be sure to avoid licorice in the future. Not that I was ever much of a fan of licorice anyway. I'd rather eat spam than licorice.
