Or I must simply learny to read?
[and write, it seems]
Previous post's comment was me thinking grue had locked the post count at 399. I've been staring at waveforms all to long, I'm going to go eat, and see about wrapping up a release of Extreme Super Duper Looper Deluxe.

Gentlemen, this is a great day for Mankind.
Pigs, on the other hand, are f***ed.

Perhaps, but almost all pigs killed for food were born for that purpose, and allowed to live a carefree life, protected from wolves, etc, playing in the mud, humping, and waiting for the food we bring it. Same with cows. (eating veal is evil). Poultry isn't as well off, so I buy only free range. Seafood, however, for the most part has a tough life, avoiding pedators, sucking scum off of rocks and stuff to survive, only to be caught and either suffocated or boiled to death.

El, if you're referring to lobsters, it's a myth that they are boiled to death (according to daytime TV), for they have to have certain parts of their anatomy removed before they are boiled. Otherwise you end up with lobster shit and other undesirable substances floating in the pan.
EDIT: Which is possibly a worse way to go...
ThinIce, I applaud you for succeeding with your evil plan. You have elevated a rather bland food to the status of ambrosia in the minds of most vergers.

As for lobsters, some people prefer to clean them first, but generally, and almost always in restaurants they are cooked whole. Having your innards outered while alive seems no less cruel. Crab and clams, oysters, etc, are still boiled to death. And all fish die of suffocation, or the aforementioned gutting.

I remember, back in the jesus is good days where I felt much empathetic passion for those poor lobsters in QFC (grocery store).
Whatever; crab/lobster sucks anyways.

Many restauranteurs recommend that if you want to cook lobster humanely, you stick it on ice first, THEN boil it alive: it doesn't feel a thing. Mind you, I don't suppose they asked it, so I can't really be sure.

Sod the lobsters, what about the poor clams? At least lobsters can defend themselves. Before they get taped up.
Wait... El, are you saying that some people cook lobster without removing all the crap? Some people will eat anything.
"Mmm, yes, I'll have the lobster marinated in its own sewage, please!"

Too add insult to injury (or better said add injury to death) the lobsters are unable to eat, due to the fact that thier claws are taped or banded, and nobody feeds them anyways, and so starve for a while before being boiled. Most of thier crap is floating around in the tank.
Anyone unaware of just how much crap/bugs/fingernails/hair/etc. we ALL eat each day has never worked in food service or production. And to them I give this advice: Be very nice to the wait staff when you go out to eat, and if you don't tip well, do not go back there. Ever. Seriously. They may forget the cheese on your cheeseburger, but poor tippers they remember with a (re)vengance.

I heard that there are on average six insect legs in each Snickers bar. That sounds very high though, so it's probably crap.
Shit! El, as you appear to know about these things, if I don't tip the pizza delivery guy, how long do you think I should wait before ordering from them again? Will they ever forget? God knows what extra toppings I'll get next time...

Ideally your pizza has a sticker or something sealing the box, and so the driver has little access to the actual pizza. More likely they can merely deliver yours later rather than sooner (or less late). I don't tip them either, or at most a dollar or two and the change.
And insect legs are an excellent source of protein. ;)

PS English, as a language, [in terms of reading and writing] sucks! I before E, except after C, or if the word sounds like A, as in neighbor or weigh, or in the words caffeine, or protein, or.... Spanish, in this regard, rules. I can read Spanish aloud, with perfect pronunciation (discounting my accent), even if I have never seen the words before, and have no idea what I'm saying.

I happen to love English very dearly. We have the most diverse spectrum of different words to describe many things in the world, and don't give me that crap about the Eskimos having 70 different words for snow.

I agree with that. One example in Spanish: To hope translates into esperar. To wait for translates into esperar. To expect translates into esperar. Try translating the following sentence in babelfish (link in my sig):
I expect to die someday, I hope it will not be soon, and so I wait for it to happen.

That's because if we come across a word that describes something we don't have, we lead the innocent language into a dark alley and ask it for the word. Ask it with our fists.
"Nice Tsunami you got there, Japanese... wouldn't want anything to... happen to it."
'*gulp* Please, mistah... not the face this time.'
