But Grammarist is correct that "to stop it is probably a lost cause" -- emphasis on the word "probably."

This Headline is Comprised of at Least One Mistake

If you don't see the mistake in the headline above, don't worry -- you're hardly alone. Highlighting the mistake is pedantic, but, so often is the case with little bits of grammar. But let's do it anyway. The problem is with the use of the words "comprised of" -- it's wrong. Grammarist explains:

Comprise means to consist of or to be composed of. Compose means to make up the constituent parts of. Parts compose the whole, and the whole comprises the parts. For example, we could say that the United States comprises 50 states and that the 50 states compose the United States.

But comprise is widely used in illogical ways, mainly in phrases such as is comprised of. For example, many people would write that the United States is comprised of 50 states even though they obviously mean compose instead of comprise. This usage is so widespread that trying to stop it is probably a lost cause, and we increasingly have to turn to editorially fastidious publications to find comprise used the old way. Still, careful writers tend to avoid the mixup.
In other words, you shouldn't ever use the phrase "comprised of." And there's no need to take Grammarist's word for it -- the OED agrees, calling the construction "incorrect."

A Chicken &*#! Tax Policy

When it comes to federal taxes, business owners can find lots of different ways to save a bit on their bill. The tax code is a dense, huge piece of legislation with lots of weird clauses which you'd not expect. For example, take a look at 26 U.S. Code § 45, a section titled "Electricity produced from certain renewable resources, etc." (and yes, "etc." is in the title). Scroll down to subsection (c)(3)(B) and you'll come to the part about "agricultural livestock waste nutrients." The Code spells it out -- this is the section which addresses manure, and explicitly, manure from "poultry."

In other words: there's a tax credit available for turning chicken poop into electricity.

And it isn't all that ridiculous.

The tax credit dates back to 1999, when, in the words of the New York Times, "Sen. William Roth, R-Del., chairman of the Finance Committee [inserted an amendment to the tax code which] would give tax credits to companies that convert waste swept from the floor of chicken coops into electricity. " The reasoning was straightforward. Parts of Delaware, Virginia and Mayland (collectively known as "Delmarva") are the home to many chicken farms, and those chicken farms have to deal with a lot of chicken droppings. Some poop is recycled into fertilizer, but there's usually a lot of excrement left over. The Times continues:[Fertilizer] has become a major source of pollution, and all three states have new laws that will eventually ban this source of fertilizer. So the question, said Bill Satterfield, executive director of Delmarva Poultry Industry Inc., a trade association, is becoming how to dispose of the 800 tons of chicken droppings produced on the peninsula every year.

The technology has long existed for producing electricity by burning chicken manure. The problem is, it has never seemed profitable. So it has never been tried in the United States.The tax credit provided the incentive to get American poultry farmers to try. Modern Farmer reported that the bill was "a bipartisan effort to keep chicken waste runoff from flowing into the Chesapeake Bay." The farming-focused publication also spoke to Wayne Gilchrist, one of the House members who pushed for the credit; per Gilchrist, "the chicken industry didn’t lobby for it at all." Rather, it was there to address a simple question in Gilchrist's eyes: "what are you going to do with all that chicken manure?”
So, if your farm turns chicken poop into power, you get a tax break. That sounds good but, in fairness, it also sounds cuckoo. As you'd expect, the chicken poop tax loophole has been a punchline over and over and over again. But the law is still on the books.

3) Want some Turkey Day trivia? Here's a collection of Thanksgiving and turkey-themed articles from the Now I Know archives:

• How Turkey Got Its Name: Turkeys (the bird) are native to the Americas, but Turkey (the country) is in Europe/Asia. This is how some bad geography gave poultry its name -- and, in case of emergency, it may help change the topic at your family gathering.
• Turkey Basters: The PG-13 process used to bring the turkey to our dinner tables.
• Thanks for the Helium: The forgotten history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons. (I particularly like the bonus fact in this one.)

apparently Mr Peeler to the rescue ..


Mr. Peeler
For the better part of two decades — well into his 70s — Joe Ades followed the same routine. He’d get up early, typically before dawn, and get dressed in his $1,000 suit with high-end shirts and ties. He’d leave his Manhattan apartment (and, toward the end of his career, that was a three-bedroom one on Park Avenue) and make his way to work. Like his millionaire neighbors, Ades probably pulled down well north of $100,000 a year. But unlike his neighbors, he wasn’t off to a job on Wall Street or at any other typical six-figure income job. He was off to a street corner to sell $5 potato peelers.

Yep. Potato peelers. To be fair, they could peel carrots, too.

Born in Manchester, England in 1934, Ades was a street vendor at an early age, dropping out of school to earn money selling comic books. Over the years, he’d sell virtually anything that there was a market for, honing his sales pitches over time. He came to the United States in the late 1980s or early 1990s and by 1993 had settled in Manhattan, focusing his sales acumen on potato peelers he imported from Switzerland. (Amazon sells them for $5 or so, plus shipping, if you’re interested.)

Why the peeler? Ades explained his product choice to Vanity Fair in this 2006 profile:

Joe loves the peeler, which he sells for $5. “I love it for several reasons,” he says. “It’s portable; it works; I never get a complaint. Never ever. When people first see it they don’t believe it. They buy it skeptically, cynically. They can’t believe it’s going to do what I say it’ll do, but they take a chance and they buy it. And during the course of the sale, somebody will walk past—always do—and say, ‘I got one of those. They’re great!’ And it’s true—they’re not shills. You don’t need a shill with something like this.”

But the product didn’t sell itself. Ades had a well-rehearsed sales show which drew in a crowd with a comic’s wit: “When you peel a potato, it doesn’t matter whether you’re right-handed, left-handed, or, like a politician, underhanded. All you take off that potato is a thin layer of skin. You’ve got no waste; you do it in record time. When you come to an eye, you scoop it out—there’s the scoop,” he’d say. And with all eyes on him, as seen below, he demonstrated the product with the deft of a surgeon or perhaps a magician. Here’s a video of his whole routine:

He’d repeat this six days a week, a dozen or two times a day, weather and law enforcement-permitting — Ades never obtained a license to sell on the sidewalks, and wasn’t allowed to sell within the farmer’s markets he often set up shop near. (That said, most often, police officers turned their heads.) And as you saw above, it wasn’t out of the ordinary for him to sell around 15 to 20 peelers during his minute pitch. By some estimates, depending on his margins, Ades pulled in $250,000 or so a year, all $5 at a time.

Unfortunately, you can’t see his potato-and-carrot peeling show live any more. Ades passed away in early 2009, at age 75.

Are Babies Afraid of the Dark?

mmmm

Humans are born fearing only two things -- falling and loud noises; all
other fears are learned as we grow up.

Scientists have determined that we come into this world with only two
innate fears: the fear of falling and the fear of loud sounds. All other
fears constitute learned behaviors, perhaps explaining why some people fear
snakes and spiders and others do not. So the short answer is that being
afraid of the dark is a learned, rather than innate, fear.

Why Is Andrew Jackson on the $20 Bill?

and
for the American only fraternity ha

Andrew Jackson, who is pictured on the $20 bill, hated the idea of paper
money and fought vehemently against it.

In 2020, on the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment giving women the
right to vote, abolitionist heroine Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew
Jackson on the front of the twenty-dollar bill. Historians think that Old
Hickory wouldn’t mind being replaced, since in his lifetime he railed
against paper currency and advocated a strict adherence to the gold
standard, where the supply of dollars in circulation is tied to the
physical amount of gold held by the government. Jackson first appeared on
the $20 bill (also known as a "double-sawbuck") in 1928, which was the
100th anniversary of his election as president. His likeness replaced
Grover Cleveland’s face on the bill that year. Cleveland’s portrait was
moved to the new $1,000 bill the same year.

What Was to Blame for the Hindenburg Disaster?


apparently was ro blame,apparently

Despite the Hindenburg being filled with flammable gas, its passengers
could smoke cigarettes in a designated lounge.

Since its launch in 1936, the LZ 129 Hindenburg airship had logged more
than 190,000 miles (305,775 km) without a mishap, including a round-trip
flight from Frankfurt, Germany, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But disaster
struck in March 1937 as the airship was preparing to touch down at the
Naval Air Station in Lakehurst, N.J., at the completion of its trip from
Frankfurt. The zeppelin, which contained 7 million cubic feet (198,218
cubic m) of highly flammable hydrogen gas, suddenly ignited and plunged to
the ground in about 30 seconds. The cause of the disaster was never
determined, but many have since noted the irony that the hydrogen-filled
Hindenburg actually contained a smoking lounge.

Nevertheless, it has been
determined that the smoking room, located at the bottom of the airship, was
not to blame.

Since hydrogen is lighter than air, any gas leak would have
traveled upward, away from the smoking room, which was kept at a higher
pressure than the rest of the ship and which was protected by a double-door
airlock.
