I bought a coconut once.  Sat on my kitchen counter for about 4 years.

Back in my college years me and a roommate lived in an apartment above a fruit/vegetable store. So one day I saw they had fresh coconuts and decided to buy one. Bloody things are not meant to be eaten. Tried to cut into it. Couldn't do it. Later that evening we finally borrowed an electric saw from our neighbour.

Back when we were in elementary school (between 5-10 yeas old) my best friend's parents brought a coconut back from Hawaii.  The two of us beat on that thing like a couple of retarded monkeys for a couple of days before we finally got it open.

Mine was covered with scars from knives, screwdrivers, pliers, a dremel tool and a Black & Decker power drill trying to open that fucker.
I tossed it before I was going to shoot it.

In Puerto Rico every household has a machete, not really for yard work, but for the coconuts. :)

Chipmunk found with plague in South Lake Tahoe

2:27 PM, Oct 11, 2012


Public health officials are warning local park visitors after a chipmunk was found with plague near the entrance of the Taylor Creek Visitor Center in South Lake Tahoe.

Warnings have been issued for Taylor Creek, Tallac Historic Site and Camp Richardson Resort.

The Forest Service also is asking the public to report any sick or dead animals immediately.

The California Department of Public Health, with assistance from El Dorado County Environmental Management and Vector Control, will be trapping and testing rodents in the area.

"The safety of our visitors and employees is our No. 1 priority,' forest supervisor Nancy Gibson said. "We are working closely with the California Department of Public Health and the El Dorado County Department of Environmental Health and will follow whatever precautions they recommend."

According to the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, plague is a rare but a highly infectious bacterial disease that is spread by squirrels, chipmunks, wild rodents and fleas.

Plague is known in many parts of California and is most common in rural and undeveloped mountain regions. Plague can be transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected flea, handling an infected rodent or exposure to an infected cat. The symptoms are similar to the flu, including rapid onset of a high fever, head and muscle aches, chills, nausea, weakness, cough, chest pain and painful swollen lymph glands.

So did the bubonic plague actually cause the Black Death or what?

You're still a retard Timmay, but at least you made my new desktop.

Was just behind some black ladies walking down the street talking about sucking a dick. Then they saw some white cops on horses and ran over to pet the horses. Oh America! :wub:

That story would have been so much better if it finished, "they ran over to blow the horses."

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
