Did you know...

That water boils faster at higher elevations? Up here in Colorado, we're a bit higher than most places, and thus have less air pressure. Less pressure means that water requires a slightly lower temperature to boil at. Incidentally, this means that microwave dinners always but always take longer than the maximum time on the box to cook. Which is weird. You'd think it'd take shorter, but the stuff just doesn't heat up as much or something. Maybe it's just the makers of dinners are dillweeds.

A secondary feature of lower air pressure means that potato chip bags can be very tightly bulging depending on the elevation at which they were filled.

Dude, I know that money is good and all, but honestly, must you go to commercial every freaking time a person sings? If it's a matter of prepping for the next singer, one or two is fine, but a full commercial break every time?! Freaking outrageous! It's really turning me off from watching this show. I swear, it feels like I'm watching a commercial show wherein they occasionally show some people singing. You know though, from a purely monetary point of view, this show has got to be a massive cash cow. I mean, sure, you have to pay for the room and board for the peeps, and maybe set up a new set every year, but aside from that, I'm sure they're raking in the cash. They even get the idol potentials to make commercials for them. And after they all get signed, the music companies get to rake it in on cd sales too. Suddenly I want to make my own entertainment show that's mostly commercials.
