Rhubarb? Yuk! In July 2015, a wild black bear broke into the Colorado Cherry Company and helped itself 238 pies- but left those made with rhubarb! When Queen Victoria married in 1840, she was given a half ton, 9 foot wide cheddar wheel- a single slice was nearly twice her 4 foot 11 inch size! New Zealander Nigel Richards memorized the French Scrabble dictionary and just 9 weeks and one the French language Scrabble World Championship despite not knowing the language!

I’m guessing the bear left the rhubarb because the leaves are toxic.

Rhubarb itself is toxic and is dangerest if eaten to excess.

A wild black bear should prefer wild black cherries.

Wouldn’t a slice of a 9’-diameter wheel only be 4’5"?

Artie;
Despite some earlier attempts to define a foot as 10" it is still 12". So half of 9’ is 4’6". Which is still shy of her majesties 4’ 11" but they did say – “nearly”.

I LOVE rhubarb pie, but I don’t find it all that often.-French scrabble: how much are the Qs or Zs worth? Like Spanish, those letters occur much more often in French than they do in English, so their point value must be a lot less than the English version’s 10.

Oh, I wish someone had thought of a giant cheddar wheel when I’d gotten married! I love cheddar cheese! And Swiss, but I don’t think that would ever come in a wheel.

I have seen people sending RSS feeds of comics from this website. How do I find the RSS link to use.? The RSS feed is so I can send a week’s worth of my 5 favorite Gocomics.com comics to my kindle using using Caliber.
