Broccoli question...

Hi all... so, we have a broccoli plant which currently has one huge (approx 6 inches across) head in the center of it... I was told that popping that off would lead to other heads sprouting on the rest of the plant... is this right?

howdy.. I`m Opie.

or, Rick if you`re nice. I first came to DU back in `03. I`ve had periods where I posted quite regularly, and others where I went months without posting anything. Despite the occasional snark, I really don`t harbor any ill-will for anyone here. My main haunts are atheists/agnostics, mens group, GD and once in a while I`ll post music videos which nobody seems to want to hear in the lounge lol.

Elegant and funny insults....

I could read this all day... some great stuff.

husband I'd give you poison," and he said, "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."

A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the
gallows or of some unspeakable disease." "That depends, Sir," said
Disraeli, "on whether I embrace your policies or your mistress."

Highland, Speyside, Islay or Campbeltown?

I've just recently begun getting my feet wet in the world of Single-malts. So far, I'm partial to the Speysides. Particularly Aberlour and Balvenie. Any other Scotch fans feel like weighing in?

Who doesn't love a good murder ballad?

On one of our first dates, my wife and I saw a woman do this song a capella at a local open mike...we had never heard it before, so we asked her what it was... then went and bought the CD the next day... stunningly beautiful. From one of the darkest (but most amazing) albums of the 90s.

The coolest cover song ever?

I think it just may be

Help needed? Scam/Spam or legit?

I'm trying to sell my car on craigslist... http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/2988599545.html
I've gotten a few emails today from somebody trying to get me to research insurance costs for them... just seems weird to me.. here's the text of the last email I got:

Hi. I do have some flexibility with the price... It currently is financed so there is a minimum number I need to meet but my asking price does leave me some room to negotiate. If I remember correctly the odometer is reading just over 85k... most likely it has rolled over but the car went through a major overhaul in 2007 including an engine rebuild/upgrade. As far as I know there are no major issues performance or appearance wise. I have the car sitting at Titus Nissan Olympia off Carriage Drive. They weren`t able to offer me a trade in value so they are helping me with selling it. What kind of price were you thinking? Thanks for the response.
