laundry question

general stuff, humor (arr, arr) No Comments »

I’m the laundry-doer of the household. Something just clicked even though I’ve seen it several times before. Laundry instructions on the tag of my new sweater say:

Machine wash cold separately
Medium cycle
With like colors

How exactly does one wash something separately, yet with like colors?

nearly half of britons unaware of auschwitz

Here’s a link to the article that is my source. But I imagine that the article will die eventually, so here are a few quotes:

Nearly half of Britons in a poll said they had never heard of Auschwitz, the Nazi death camp in southern Poland that became a symbol of the Holocaust and the attempted genocide of the Jews.

“It’s easy to presume that the horrors of Auschwitz are engrained in the nation’s collective memory, but obviously this is not the case,” Rees said.

The survey found that 45 percent of those surveyed had not heard of Auschwitz.

Kinda makes you wonder about how the “Blame America First” crowd claims that Americans are so stupid and Europeans are so smart.
