... Not a flan. Or a scone. Or a doughnut, cake, cookie, bearclaw/Danish, sopapilla, churro, crepe, waffle, pancake, souffle, or brownie.

None of those?

[Rolan7]

Was it a box of one dozen starving, crazed weasels?

Small, off-duty chzecloslovian traffic warden?

[Gentlefish]

Baklava?

[wierd]

I am guessing "Sopapilla"

I wouldn't call sopapillas churro-like, though. We're probably looking for some kind of steam-risen fritter; sopapillas are more fluffy than puffy.

EDIT: Corn fritters? Maybe stroopwafel, if it had enough cinnamon.

I've come across a couple people now with tattoos of two dots on the thumb webbing, and I'm trying to remember what the significance is. Google is only returning results for 3 dots and 5 dots, neither of which are 2 dots. I also can't find a way to subtract the 3 dots results from the 5 dots results in order to get a 2 dots explanation, but I was never very good with math anyways. Anybody happen to be familiar with the pattern?


As for sweets, I've never really been much of a dessert person... Can't help much there. Gulab jamun? Not really churro-like...

[Hanslanda]

I'll ask my prison tattoo guy about it tomorrow Kagus.

My first thought was this.
That or some kind of cyborg augmentation.

But probably not, reality is too boring.

What would happen to Pinocchio's nose if he said "My nose is going to grow"?

He will be admonished by the Blue Fairy about the purposeful and belligerent employment of the liar's paradox to test her magic spells.

Kagus, if the tattoo is a semicolon, that has something to do woth mental health awareness, I think.

What would happen to Pinocchio's nose if he said "My nose is going to grow"?

You can weasel out of the paradox in this specific case by noting that whether it's a lie or not depends only on what he thinks, not what actually happens. If he doesn't think his nose will grow (or doesn't know what will happen) but claims that it will, that's a lie, and his nose will grow (in other words, a lie is still a lie even if the liar was mistaken and accidentally said something that ended up being correct). But if he did think his nose would grow, that isn't a lie, and the fact that it doesn't grow wouldn't make it one (it'd just be an honest mistake). So the outcome here by that reasoning would just depend on whether he's making an "honest" or "dishonest" mistake.

Ultimately it would rot away like the rest of him after he's hanged, at which point it would presumably acquire some sort of fungal or bacterial growth and thus be marginally enlarged by the added water content if nothing else. That would the statement true, if macabre, and therefore his nose would at that moment stay the same size.

Nah, not a semicolon... I'm actually familiar with that one, trite as it is. Just two round dots.

Maybe it was just "Mi Vida Loca", but he never got around to having the Loca part done, and it's a statement about how dull and average his life has been.
