Food at the Orange County Fair[^]. A few choice selections: Chocolate Covered Pork Rinds, Totally Fried Peanut Butter Pickle, and Krispy Kreme Chicken Sandwich (oh, I hope that's cranberry and not jam). As well as deep fried everything (including cereal and Kool-aid) and whatever-onna-stick (Dibbler would be pleased). 
TTFN - Kent

I thought the Scots were keep on deep-frying things. How the hell do you deep fry coffee? Or Kool-Aid? 
And what genius came up with "Deep-Fried Slim Fast Bar"?

Judging from the Google results, deep fried Kool Aid is a donut hole whose batter had Kool Aid mixed into it. I'm guessing you could do the same with coffee.

+1 for "deep fried everything".
Try Grapple for Android, it has a naked pixel guy in it!
Also, loads of blood and some snakes.

 A lot of those things look disgusting.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

If you're eating healthy food at the county fair, you're doing it wrong. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Some of it looks really yummy - other stuff just weird. What is the idea of deep frying precisely EVERYTHING in the States? I don't see the appeal...

You mean there are places where they don't deep fry everything? How do people survive?

Don't suppose there's any chance of the Fair doing a world tour, (or just a one-off in Devon UK would be fine!) is there?

Still cheap if you consider the cost of the related hardware...

You can't afford the running costs! 1 ton of fuel every minute...and a full tank is 80,000 gallons, most of which is loaded in mid air after takeoff.

Good. There is also a tiny bit of maintainance after each flight...

80,000 gallons? 80,000 pounds of fuel I would believe (based on the unloaded/loaded weights in the SR-71[^] article on wikipedia).
Yes, I'm being pedantic. It's been that kind of week.

I took a rough stab at the math, using 800 kg/m3 as the density of JP-7 fuel. It comes out to around 12,000 gallons, assuming I haven't dropped a decimal anywhere.

Good idea, now that they retired, I could put it in my paddock with my old tractor I have in the garden.

Excellent read! Thanks.
I just noticed for the first time that the engine nacelles have a slight inboard curve to them, probably to match the airflow.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I've added this question to the Web Development forum but it was suggested I add a plea into the lounge also. I'd appreciate the help - the link and question are below!
Link: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5102431/How-do-you-deal-with-Japanese-Asian-languages-in-r.aspx[^]
"This is something I have come up against recently and that is dealing with the Japanese language in responsive web applications. Changing the formation of a sentence can change the entire context or meaning. How do we deal with this - if a sentence is too long for a field and spills onto the next line?
Is there anywhere I can read up on how this is handled? Any information would be appreciated!
Example
私は、コードが好き = I , like the code
私は、コードが好
き = I , code is good
Can"
