I am looking for a website I used to read ages ago but cannot remember it and search is failing. It is basically a site where you ask some guy (and his team)... pretty much anything and he investigates it. Apparently it was a from a newpaper in the 70s and he does one every week and has em archived. It's not snopes, it has a ton of random crazy stuff. Any ideas?

I am not aware of any food that goes bad after just one day in a fridge. I would eat them, as long as it didn't have a foul rotten odor

I'm not an expert, so lol@you if you get sick.

[Kerberoz]

They won't make you sick, but won't taste very good. Generally, anything without a spine tastes like rubbery ass if you don't eat it immediately.

Is there like a newegg for car parts? Someplace that isn't likely to rip me off, I guess. I need some odd parts and the dealership won't sell some of them individually (have to buy an entire door latch assembly to get the wire that goes from the door handle to the assembly) and some just seem kind of expensive (door bumper). 06 Kia Rio. I went to the local junk yard but no compatible models.

I've used http://www.rockauto.com/ in the past, not sure if or what's better but it was really helpful for me

[Jakson]

Thanks Caiyou. I didn't find what I was looking for, but I've spent a bit looking at some other sites and I'm not finding it available for any price, so I'm wondering if it is even possible.
Does anyone think I'm liable to find these parts:

Spoiler: show

(door assembly diagram is from an 01, changed in 06 but it is essentially just that part)

anywhere online or is it dealership onry?

[Elesirdur]

Unless you can get them from a pick-a-part or a junkyard directly, dealer is probably the only way to reliably go. It's worth enquiring if they have used supplies (from junkyards likely), instead of factory new. Here's hoping you can get just the specific part you want and not the door latch assembly.

Try car-part.com

Find out what the dealership calls the part then try to find the equivalent in their searchbox. You can always try ebay too, sometimes people are parting cars out and selling through ebay.

Why are pizzas round?

[Omniyoji]

They (Italians) also make pizza in square & rectangular form. I can't say tho which came first.

[Kerberoz]

Why are pizzas round?

because pi

[Zoolander]

Its way easier and faster to stretch it into a circle. And hand tossing dough into a really thin crust...i dont know how you'd do it in anything other than a circle, unless you want an inconsistent crust and a shitty pizza.

Love the sound of the xylophone but since it's uncommon I don't have enough of it in my music collection. Anyone know of any good/great/historic Xylophonists or recommend any bands with good xylophonic sound? Much thankies~

[Kais]

not exactly a xylophone but i love this album very much

[Cyn]

Hmm... trying to think of some off the top of my head but honestly, I can't think of any recent bands that have dedicated xylophonists. Generally bands these days use synths for that type of thing.

Can't really help you on the historic aspect. Perhaps there's a list of xylophonists on a wiki or something.

So tmobile throttles my interwebz speed after 5gb. Trying not to hit that again.

1. How much data is used to view this forum? Obviously RIT or any picture oriented thread will differ greatly from the norm. So, what would a normal thread cost me data wise? Including avatars and sigs loading up too.

2. Anyone know of a rough kb/min rate of an average youtube video?

3. Why are all admins big pussies and afraid of banning me?

4. Any idea how to get rid of tmobiles throttle other than switching to sprint?

5. Please don't ban me.

[Cyn]

1. Just set sigs to not show and it would be miniscule.

2. Not this guy.

3. Contrary to popular belief, you have to be pretty stupid to get infractions around here. Either that or you're doing it on purpose.

4. You live in NYC? Can't you get FiOS?
