Now, I know that there's a lot of stuff I know, but I also know there's a gazillion times more stuff I don't know. In my quest to know more things, how can I possibly learn about something if I don't even know it exists?? What can I possibly google to find the thing I know the least about? I don't know! It would be rather troubling, if I were

I have had a similar tragic happening with my refrigerator. Opening up the freezer and getting a much warmer greeting than expected, finding the ice cube trays to be filled with water, really sucks. It cost about $60 for the guy to come over to my house and say, "That there fan stopped blowin'."

Actually, according to my fiancee, the guy was very nice and knowledgable, and told us to keep that fridge, cuz they ain't makin' 'em like that anymore.

Anyway, moving on, technically, "the topic created in Step 2 of Jess's stupid game" would not be a noun; that would be considered a phrase, and therefore not applicable to the situation.

Eep. I'm afraid a warm freezer is in my future sometime too. The fridge is just as old as the stove.

And I like the way you think. Noun phrases should certainly not be confused with nouns! But there's always some wise guy lookin' for a loophole.

I find that "random people in Walmart" are excellent subjects for just about every experiment you can come up with. Scientists should learn from this. Need human subjects? Dangle cheap Chinese shit in front of them, and watch as they follow it, starry-eyed, straight into the specimen cages. If that doesn't work, just set up one of those demonstration booths right inside the Walmart, and give away free samples.

"Try this fabulous new bubbling algae! Guaranteed effective! (We just don't know what the effect will be, but be a dear and share that with us once you've eaten it, hmm?)"

Translating "bubbling algae" into Spanish might be tricky (somewhat reminded of your "Darker side" entry as I think about that some more). But if the WalMart scheme doesn't work out, I bet I could just bring a stack of pizzas and a keg onto a college campus instead.
