How can cheese be the most stolen food? I don’t believe it, Ripley.

Is that why yelling, “Natcho Cheese”, while chasing someone is so common?

That’s four fingers and a thumb

French fries are the most stolen food, as you are eating them, by whomever you are eating with. Bottles of champagne when LeSean McCoy is around is a close second.

It was mentioned a few years ago that the comic authority regulated the number of fingers. A four finger comic character was not human, where as a five finger character could be a human. The four finger characters could smash, stab, and blow up each other, POW, BAM! And come back to life. The four fingers are just a left over “law” from the old days of regulation. This is just the gist of the article, SMASH, ZINGGGG!

What an odd thing to wonder about.

Do any of you know what term was the legacy of another Civil War General, Joseph Hooker?

thumb: the short, thick finger on the side of your hand-http://www.merriam-webster.com/

Burnside also termed mutton chops. As the pic depicts! LOL

“Who Moved My Cheese?”

The Freto Bandito?

I’ve noticed at a few 24 hour grocery stores that the cheese is locked up during the “midnight shift”… because it gets stolen so often.If I was hungry homeless and without a penny to my name… and I had to steal to eat… I would steal cheese. Provides more long term energy than bread (carbs), doesn’t go bad as fast as other proteins (meat), and has a high quantity of food per volume (i.e. is dense).

I had to look up Ambrose Burnside, and learned that he fought for the Union side in the Civil War. He was a U.S. Senator for Rhode Island. I half expected to learn that he had switched sides during his military or political career; no disappointment there.

oxforddictionaries.com though thumbs have certain similarities to fingers, there are some key differences. It’s therefore more accurate to describe a thumb as one of five digits that we have on each hand, rather than as a finger.

Looking at Burnside, I think he may have inspired the Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet design, too.
