Answers to some of life's biggest questions

The answers to the below questions are as follows:
1) Because you're not old enough to take care of it
2) It's a Tyler Perry movie - wait two months and rent it if you must.
3) It was their bra colors. It was kind of stupid.
4) I haven't the slightest idea.
5) I'd guess spinach. Or blue food coloring.
6) It's the way light refracts in the atmosphere. Blue has the shortest wavelength and scatters easiest.
7) They're kind of stupid.
8) They're kind of stupid, too.
9) Because they can't bark and be useful, so they must purr to be adorable.
10) Cause my feet hurt and my throat is sore still from Vegas.

In... my mouth

So, as planned, post Bay to Breakers, I made a stop at KFC for a Double Down.

The Double Down has been hailed as some kind of new sandwich. A breadless sandwich consisting of two pieces of fried chicken breast (in the original style), two strips of bacon and two slices of cheese. The chicken acts as if it were bread, so if this were a sandwich, it would be a cheese and bacon sandwich really.

But it's not a sandwich. Sure, it's stuff between other stuff, but really it's an elaborate chicken nugget.
And what a chicken nugget it is. The photo above is a few bites in, but you can see that it's two pieces of chicken breast with cheese sandwiched between it. The bacon isn't fully visible in this photo, and thinking back on it I don't really recall it being there, but I'm sure it was. Whatever was there, it was awesome.

I read one report that this was 550 calories. Then later that day I heard that report was grossly underestimated. However many calories it contains, it's pretty much worth eating it. Whether there's bacon or not. Though again, I'm sure there is bacon if they say there's bacon.

Way too much of my life is spent here.

But maybe I'm just still cranky cause I'm sick and I left my pb&j sandwich on the coffee table this morning.
