Does elbow just mean the little nob of bone that sticks out?  Or does the side count?

either way..........ow.

Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled "Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden"...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.[/q]

That's a myth, though.

 'Golf' comes from the Scots word 'golve' / 'goff', which in turn comes from the medieval Dutch 'kolf', which itself means 'club'.

Kolf != club in modern day Dutch, but geweerkolf is the butt of a rifle, so in medieavel Dutch....

Also, honey isn't  the only consumable that doesn't spoil. Wine won't spoil soon either, and there are some very long-lasting conservative methods. Dried food can last for ages, if you keep it away from water.

I said medieval anyways

wine can spoil too, IIRC.  Particularly with oxidisation.

[kasperl]

Not if you keep a proper cork on it... Not all wine will be good for long, but the Romans had stuff that would last for over a hundred years. Then it ran out, rather than spoil.

I must've missed you saying medieaval then, sorry 'bout that.

I assumed it was a sculptures practice to make statues like that...unles some outside influence changed that (threat, great respect)
Alltouhg when a king dies and his son wants his statue, would you dare make one that makes him look less powerfull and honorouble?

I think it's meaning under any circumstances... i.e. honey cannot go bad, period.

All hail the mighty Twinkie, whose shelf-life is greater than that of the plastic packaging in which it is contained.

[kasperl]

Well, if you dilute it with water, it can ferment for sure, and pure honey left in an open container will probably ferment too. Depending on your definition, that's spoiling too.

Also, sugar solutions won't spoil either, unless they start to ferment, wich is the same case as honey.

Water doesn't spoil.

[karajorma]

Yeah it does. I certainly wouldn't drink stagnant water. Besides why do you think mineral water has a best before date?

Pemmican is a highly nutritious food that did not spoil and was compact and easy to carry on long trips. It was the first instant food in Canada. One pound was equal in food value to four pounds of fresh meat. The Red River Metis supplied the Hudson's Bay Company with buffalo products, especially pemmican. The Company, in turn, used these goods for the provisioning of its northern posts and York boat brigades. Although pemmican was not the only type of food used by the voyageurs who manned the brigades, it was, nonetheless the major item in their diet. No abetter food could be found to carry along with you. No fire was needed to prepare it for eating, a small amount would go a long way and it could be eaten for weeks at a time in order to sustain energy and health. It could be stored for times of famine as successfully in Manitoba as it could in Texas.

I heard that even if pemmican grew maggots, it'd still be edible without any problems.  And this is in any climate condition too.

No. You don't say "Picture?". The correct phrase is:
Pics or ban!

Mineral Water = Evian, which, when reversed, is.....
