Vegemite and Marmite will replace warm milk as a sleep aid. With all of the lactose intolerance and acid re-flux why is warm milk mentioned as a sleep aid?

That's a good question. There are a lot of people who can't drink milk for various reasons. Guess it just gets stuck in people's heads.

I was looking through a book in my dream last night and in the glossary it gave the definition for STUFF PUS as GIFT WRAP.

It might be more meaningful in the future if they crack down more on waste.

Yeah, but I'd try to find a better name for it, even if 'Stuff Pus' sells well with the kids.

In another language it might sound much better while retaining its meaning and you get that cross cultural thing going.

I predict that in the near future the insane upside down unstable plastic cups will be redesigned and engineered to make things right.
Isn't there a yogurt cup that is already made that way?

Yoplait's single serving containers are kind of like that.

I was just over at JetPens looking at all of their mechanical pencils and it hit me that none of them are designed for artists. Artists use them but there is none designed for artists. They are designed for writing and or drafting but not for art (drawing). The hand position that an artist mostly uses is towards the back of the pencil. All grips currently on pencils are at the front only. For an artist the mechanical pencil should also be longer then they currently are also. Artist do use the forward grip for some things. Also lead grade indicators really suck (at least all the ones I've run into so far) you can't trust them not to move inadvertently. So I predict that some day soon someone will produce a mechanical pencil designed for artists.

Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Something that seems so obvious it's amazing they doesn't already exist.

Linking it with urban sketching might be a good marketing tactic.

I'm thinking length and unblocked angle of attack might take precedents over grips. The grip(s) might be better off being demure.
