How does the phrase "Let the good times roll" translate to Farsi? I'm trying to figure out if the words "saa'at" and "khoob" would be used to mean "time" and "good", respectively. With the way sentences are spoken in Farsi, I reckon that "time" would precede "good" in the sentence structure? Thank you for any help you can give.

Wondering if it is the product of some by-gone era when a lot of places would not accept credit/bank cards as payment, etc.

Without fail every week, one or two local commercials will interrupt "The Soup" on E! Right in the middle of a clip or one of Joel McHale's jokes, suddenly we will see a commerical or two. Does anyone else experience this? It occurs about half-way through the episode.

Although some blogs advocate affixing the envelope to a brick or weighted box, it won't work these days: According to Post Office Domestic Mail Manual code 8.4.6, "BRM may not be used for any purpose other than that intended by the permit holder, even when postage is affixed. In cases where a BRM card or letter is used improperly as a label, the USPS treats the item as waste."

Perhaps you send it back empty? Shred the credit card offers and return them? Send a competitor's junk mail to them?

Curious if the Haiti and Chile earthquakes might affect the chances of inter-plate earthquakes, such as New Madrid.

With scientists studying the idea of the Yellowstone Supervolcano, which could cover half of the U.S. with ash, I am curious how the average person could stay alive.

While looking at rental properties, one listing had the following restriction: "At least one tenant must be 55 or older." Seems like an arbitrary and ageist policy. Curious as to how that is any different than discriminating based on race, gender, or physical ability.

Many Christian posters in R&S state that Catholic observances such as Ash Wednesday and Lent are not written in the Bible. Reading the Book of Esther, you can find people using ashes in repentance. Also, it would seem that the 40 days in Lent are reflective of the Temptation of Christ.

Considering that the Trinity, sola scriptura, and Satan being the Garden of Eden snake are not stated in the Bible, Ash Wednesday and Lent seem very Biblical in comparison.

A friend of mine said it sounded like another country song, but we have been wracking our brains trying to figure out which one.

I visited an allegedly authentic Mexican food restaurant in Shreveport and ordered chicken enchiladas. Living in south Texas, I am used to the enchiladas having shredded chicken. I am curious as to which type is truly authentic or if it just depends on the cook/chef.

Rudy Reyes appears to be breaking into abandoned buildings in a city. He occasionally mentions stories from Katrina; for example, that no libraries were looted (as he breaks into an abandoned one whose bookshelves were covered in plastic tarps).

I read that parsnips somehow convert starches into sugar, and was wondering of they could be used in place of refined sugar (or at least to help reduce the amount of sugar) in baked goods.

I have completed a sprint distance triathlon before, but in a few weeks I will be doing a triathlon relay. I am curious as to where the "hand-off" might be and what is usually used in the hand-off (ex: timing chip, other item).

I saw a job listing for a hotel breakfast bar attendant at a Holiday Inn. I am curious what kinds of work goes into preparing breakfast for hotel patrons and what the salary range might be.

In the great debate between normal food consumption and veganism, constituents of the first group claim that there are deficiencies of calcium, B12, and other important nutrients in the diets of vegans and vegetarians. I drink Silk light chocolate soy milk and checked out the nutrition information (found here: http://www.thedailyplate.com/nutrition-calories/fo... ) and noticed that there are many nutrients in it, specifically calcium and B12. I am curious if they are derived from plant or animal sources.

Bobby Hill was wearing oven mitts and baking with Peggy when Hank walked in and found him (gasp!) baking. I have searched through 'King of the Hill' episode listings looking for this particular one, but apparently Bobby baking was only a sub-plot and I am having difficulty locating the episode.

This week has been a tough one on celebrities; first, Farrah Fawcett, then Michael Jackson, and now Billy Mays. Billy peddled so many products over the years, and I am curious which one sticks out in your mind the most.

As I understand it, when choosing a cruise departing from The States, you have the choice of a USA-flagged ship and a ship that is flagged by another country. I am curious as to what differences I might expect to see in terms of cost, amenities, staff, food, etc.

I love buttercream frosting but recently began opening up to eating vegan and eating healthy. I love the idea of making dairy-free, gluten-free types of desserts for office get-togethers and bake sales for people who want something that tastes good and is good for them.

I understand how sun spots can interfere with satellites, but I am unsure of how sun spot cycles (such as the intensity expected in two or three years) can disturb power grids causing possible grid failures.
