Jello is actually made with fat which can also sometimes contain meat.
JELLO IS NOT VEGETARIAN!

It's also not kosher, because of the meat & fat source being pigs. (At least with some companies; there are some that are kosher that, from what I understand, don't have any meat at all, so vegetarians can eat it, too. Again, from what I understand).

Actually, Gelatin, the substantial component of most Jello products, is made by boiling bones and extracting marrow. Traditionally, the hooves of farm animals were used for this purpose, but now, most companies use fish bones due to their growing availability in a culture that buys more and more boneless fish.

There are Gelatin-free gummy snacks, most of which use soy lecithin instead of gelatin.

Random presidential info! (election time is almost here)

Truman never went to collage.

Buchanan never married. Also Oregon became a state when he was president.

Reagan was divorced.

Nixon is the only president to resign.

Harrison was only in office 1 month. He died of pneumonia. The first president to die in office. (not of assassination) The Whig party died with him as well.

Lincoln was the first president to be assassinated and die in office.

Washington's painting of himself is the oldest object in the White House. It has survived 4 fires.

Kennedy was and still the youngest president elected into office. He was also the youngest to die.

John Adams was the first president to live in the White House. Before he left he wrote to his wife "Before I end my letter, I pray Heaven to bestow the best of Blessings on this House and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise Men ever rule under this roof." When he died his last words were "Thomas Jefferson lives." Ironically Jefferson died that same day but a couple hours earlier.

Jefferson believed that education is the most important thing in the world, so he created The Library Of Congress.

Carter first said on his Inauguration Day "For myself and for our Nation, I want to thank my predecessor for all he has done to heal our land." He was talking about Ford

One more, a young woman sitting next to Coolidge at a dinner party confided to him she had bet she could get at least three words of conversation from him. Without looking at her he quietly retorted, "You lose."

That was a lot! I'm done for now.

There will be a new Ranma 1/2 OVA coming out! It'll be based on the short story from the manga series, "Insense of Spring Sleep." The basic storyline is that Happosai uses an insense to put Akane to sleep, and she has weird dreams of her & Ranma while beating the snot out of people in the real world. It's amusing.

A balanced prime number is a prime number that is the average of the closest prime number lower and greater than itself. For example, the number 5. The closest prime number lower than that is 3, and greater is 7. 3+7=10. 10/2=5. 5 is a balanced prime number. The next one is 53.

The term "tinted" when applied to windows is inaccurate. To "tint" something is to add white to it to make it lighter. An accurate term would be "shaded" windows. Also, black is NOT a shade, no matter what anyone says, nor is it a color. Black is black, it's in it's own category. I heard this from my Visual Comm. teacher at the Art Institute so it's reliable

jaybug · « **Reply #535 on:** October 07, 2008, 10:16:35 pm »

In other words as my dad told me, black is the absence of all color. White the blending of all colors. Unless you are talking pigments, and brown is the blending of all colors.
