Astronauts cannot cry. In space, there is no gravity, so the tears can't flow.

A company in Taiwan makes dinnerware out of wheat, so you can eat your plate.

German parents tell their children to eat everything on their plate, and in German this is said: "Iss dein Teller." If this sentence is translated into English it comes out: "Eat your plate." I guess the Germans should stock up on those wheat plates from Taiwan.

    Title: a platefull of lies :)
    By: hannes
    Date: 07.19.2001 2:27 PM EST

    Well, ok some of it may be true,
    but the German saying is "Iss deinen
    Teller leer", which of course
    translates to "empty your plate" or
    "eat everything on your plate".

    On the other hand, in medieval
    Europe it was quite common
    to use "plates" made from stale
    bread. After the meal these were
    often given to beggars to eat.

    So it looks like these Taiwanese
    are less innovative then they
    may think.

    What are these products made for
    right-handed people which kill
    left-handed people, guns? :)

    Fun fact: concrete will not melt
    in moderate climates. ;)
