What other remedies do you practice medicine man?

They absolutely work. Helps to break or crush 'em (just pretend they're male). I use 'em inside to keep the critters out. Especially useful in food areas I don't want pesticides. That said, if they were carpenter ants you may have another issue to address.
It probably has a scientific explanation to do with the aromatics/chemicals specific to a bay leaf.

If you work at a magazine and your magazine doesn't make the ISSN easy to find on your title page, I hate you.

Well, say you're the editor at Art In America magazine, and although you do make some bread off individual subscriptions, your main source of income is libraries, museums, and colleges, whom you know have to use an elaborate system to keep track of all their serials. By omitting a simple "ISSN: 1234-5678" from your title page, you cost me and hundreds of other people an extra few minutes every month manually looking up your serial (as you can imagine, a search for Art In America comes up with a lot of results in an art library catalog). It may seem trivial, but it's just stubborn and stupid for them not to include it.

Didn't you know this was a website for Librarians who are Phillies Phans? Something like half the people who post here have some significant affiliation with libraries or librarians.

That number goes down significantly though if you remove those who have enjoyed 'defiling' a library
or a librarian

On the back of the box of Elio's pizza, it says, "Caution: Product becomes hot after cooking."

Are you fucking kidding me?

Good info--thanks!
How can you tell a carpenter ant from a regular ant?
(well, except for the tiny toolbelt, of course)

My wife has a stomach condition that put her in the hospital about 7 times in the past 3 years. One time while waiting in the ER in West Jersey Voorhees she got stuck in the room next to the can. Well they kept wheeling this old lady in there and she absolutely destroyed it every time. Eventually we asked the nurse if we could move to another room because this old lady was making us both sick. I made a remark about her eating dead skunks or something and he said she had that condition and only had a few hours or days to live as a result of the internal bleeding. I felt kind of bad but damn I never smelled anything like that in my life.
