Really? I found that out years ago. I thought it was more surprising when I found that they still used coca flavoring in it. (Also, that company is the only company in the US allowed to import coca leaves)
Actually, I was listening to a program on Coke's formula on NPR, and they managed to find an independent contractor who could de-cocainize some coca leaves for them, since the Stephan Company refused to help them.

It took a while, but eventually they managed to make something very similar in taste to Coke.

I always thought the similarity in name was a coincidence!
How many coincidences actually occur in marketing?

Huh, now that's interesting.

I think the lesson here is that we should all be glad that they didn't start importing their coke from Pennsylvania.

I think the real lesson is that we should be glad there wasn't a mixup involving a coal mine.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I'll be honest. I actually didn't get your joke when I read it. I am way too tired right now, apparently, please stab me in the face to encourage awakeness.

Face stabbing does not encourage awakeness. What part of being stabbed don't you understand!? *tinktinktinktinktink* :P

At the rib-off today, I saw a couple take their toddler to the portapotty. The man went in with the kid, while the woman screened the door from view, which was necessary because she held the door open the entire time. After that, they proceeded to hold her dress over her head while they cleaned her off outside, in full view of everyone.

Wait, the woman or the toddler? If it's the toddler, that's creepy. If it's the woman, it's slightly less creepy.

EDIT:
Completely unrelated but... They're bringing back ThunderCats?

I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

Hmm, someone at work was telling me to watch the new ThunderCats, which implies they already have brought it back.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

I was having a regular conversation with a friend and it eventually turned into a conversation about torture, murder and some stuff that I don't think I can mention...

WTF?
