As I've already told you, you are my hero! Lol. I love, love, love this entry. I am fascinated by people, all of them. I sit in class, walk through stores, down streets, into libraries, et cetera, and I observe the people I find myself surrounded by, and I want to know their stories. I want to know everything about everyone, in a totally non-creepy, un-stalkerish fashion. :D. I've always been the kind of quiet one, much as my friends will laugh at that idea and try to tell you otherwise, so I have plenty of opportunity for observation. And I use it, especially in classes, because of the diversity. They can keep their individual eccentricities, I've got more than enough of my own, but I do often find myself trying to fit into other peoples' shoes and see things the way they see them. It's a bit distracting at times, actually

I have solved the hotdog riddle!eitkJuly 11 2007, 23:30:35 UTC
It is quite simple my friend. Hot dogs 'weiners' come in ten and the buns come in eight so you can have two left over for the next day to make hot dog whatever the meat is called with egg. I'm not kidding!
Well now. I have to say that was quite the engaging and interesting post. Don't necessarily know how I should respond to it, so I guess I'll just go with this:
How much wood could a woodchuck could if, in fact, a woodchuck could chuck wood?

the two extra pieces of meat are used for breakfast the next morning (with egg)! Unless you want to make 40 hotdogs which you need 4 packages of meat and 5 of buns.

(from http://www.raptureready.com/faq/faq121.html) `If you ask the producers of hot dogs and buns this question, you're not going to get a really firm answer. The standard reply from meat packers is that they like to sell their product by the pound. A grouping of 10 hot dogs comes close to a pound in weight. The best explanation for bakers is that 10 buns would be at a higher risk of getting damaged during shipment than 8 buns. I guess the real reason is that no one really complains about this minor problem. Oscar Meyer says that of the 50,000 consumer letters they get each year, only 10 or 15 mention the hot dog/bun mismatch.
