Yes.
Everything's going to be fine.

I suppose the same logic applies to coffee. Of course, most people in the US use non-fat dried stuff though.

But if you put the milk in first, how do you know it's the correct amount?

Now that's a keeper! Instead of trying to explain that the milk goes in first, I can use a visual aid!
Susie, you just know :)
Somone gave a mug a few years back that the official Mr. Bean mug and it has a line inside that says "pour milk to here".

According to
this article, a group of Egyptian lawyers living in Switzerland plan to sue "all the Jews of the world" to recover gold allegedly stolen from Egypt in the Exodus (dated at 3754 B.C. based on the the article, which clashes somewhat with my history books).
They are also planning to claim 5% compound interest on the value of the gold. At yesterday's market rates, that works out to... the number shown above.*
(via a comment on Little Green Footballs.)
*Let's see what this does to my blog formatting...**
**Not too bad in Mozilla. Totally screwed in IE, of course. I've broken the number up with spaces, metric-style, for the browserly-challenged.

I'm surprised they're not bringing suit for the lost chattel of the 120,000 families themselves. After all, the alienated labor represented by the Exodus, across the lifetime of the slaves and the slaves' progeny, would have amounted to a value easily eclipsing that paltry sum.
Reparations for slave owners!

God or Einstein. Depending on your politics, both.

Moses Blah?
I tell you, whoever's writing the script for this world of ours wouldn't get away with it in television.

Bad day, Pixy? I voted for you in John Cole's Blogger awards...most original material, I think. (Tiger had already bespoken snarkiest).

Well, it's been a long day, but the new president of Liberia is still named Moses Blah.

Mm, the truth
is stranger than fiction. Or maybe we just have really bad fiction writers.

I'd blame casting, rather than scriptwriting. That's who I blamed when the Milwaukee County Supervisor who got caught downloading swimsuit pictures (I think that's more embarresing than getting caught with porn) on his office computer turned out to be Willie Johnson, Jr.
