It could be any length of time. Days, weeks, even years.

Has anyone ever drank soda past it's expiration date? If so, what was your reaction?

That's why managers have to make sure their employees practice good hand hygiene so that their customers don't become ill. They also need to learn how to constantly monitor the oven temperature of certain foods they cook, because improperly cooked meat could lead to increased bacterial counts instead of eliminating the bacteria. Be careful next time. Make you sure you wash your hands yourself too.

Also, just to make it clear to everyone, the peanut butter that is sold in retail stores is not related to the outbreak and is safe for consumption.

No, but it can become contaminated.

I am of Middle Eastern descent and I'm an Atheist.

Hello, I thought I'd take the liberty to warn the community about the ongoing investigation of a nationwide Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak. The outbreak began anywhere between September 3, 2008 and December 31, 2008 and is currently affecting 43 states. As of January 12, 2009, the CDC, FDA, USDA, and Minnesota Department of Health has determined a five pound container of King Nut brand creamy peanut butter that was contaminated with Salmonella as a likely source, as the serotype matched the outbreak strain. The King Nut companies have already taken action by issuing a voluntary recall on King Nut creamy peanut butter and Parnell's Pride peanut butter products that are manufactured by the Peanut Corporation of America which is headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. These products are not directly sold to consumers, they are sold to institutionalized food services such as school and hospital cafeterias, restaurants, delis, University cafeterias, etc. My advice to the community would be to avoid consuming any peanut butter or peanut butter related products at these institutions. For more information on the Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak please visit the websites below.

I can only imagine that if the home was large enough and the laundry chute would be wide enough to fit a human being of any size.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever lived in a home with a laundry chute? If so, have you ever thought about jumping through one?

If I were the secretary I would be quite befuddled and disappointed about the fact that you fired me.

Exactly, I am of Middle Eastern descent yet here in the U.S. I am regarded as a White/Caucasian person even though my ancestors did not originate in the Caucasus Mountains, it's true that some of us vary in appearance, but then again, we're not exactly a homogeneous group of people.

I've always wanted to know, why we place everyone in the United States under a particular racial category as in White/Caucasian, Black or African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian, Hawaiian Native & Pacific Islander, Other? When none of these terms academically define race, much less provide a biological, genetic, anthropological, and/or scientific view? Why can't we just accept the fact that races among our species doesn't exist and that our differences in appearance are negligible?

That's nothing, I haven't vacationed in over eight years.

How long has it been since you took your previous vacation?

I was just wondering out of curiosity, where were you and what were you doing during, after, or before September 11, 2001?

Sure we can resurrect the herbivores, but the carnivores I'm not so sure about, we could place them in cages, but I'm not sure if that will keep them out of harms way for long.

I am just down here sitting on a chair.

I am currently listening to the Main Theme from Bionic Commando Rearmed.

You mean Soviet Connection?

Does anyone out there enjoy listening to video game music and/or video game soundtracks?
