    Let’s get straight to the point. Both “potato” and “potatoe” are technically correct spellings, but the former is the universally accepted and widely used version.

    Well, if it's universally accepted and widely used, it must be correct.

    Today I learned the average American drops 80-90 cuss words a day. That’s roughly 5 cuss words per hour.

    I also learned that finally I’m above average in something.

    **** that ****. Seems like a **** lie. There is no **** way ......... aww **** it. You're **** right.

    😂😂😂😂 you’re above average too 🤙🏼

    Astronomers have designated three phases of twilight. The first is civil twilight, which varies from place to place on Earth depending on latitude and can last anywhere from 30 minutes to many hours. The second is nautical twilight, when the sun is between six and 12 degrees below the horizon. The moon, some planets and bright stars can pop out if the sky is dark enough. Third is astronomical twilight, when the sun is 12 to 18 degrees below the horizon and the sky is black.

    Nope. The glass bottles were green.
    I don't believe the liquid was ever green.
