* Was butternut squash named after Julia Child?
* Does everyone look like a mugger in a hoodie, or just everyone I've seen lately?
* What on earth made the first person look at a 40-pound hubbard squash and say, "You know, I bet I could eat that?"
* Are there any grocery carts without one crazy wheel?
* Is there a club somewhere devoted to typing up urban legends to send around the internet, and do they get prizes for coming up with the craziest ones?
* If cats view their humans as staff, can I be fired?
* Do we like the self-checkout machines in stores because we are unsocial or because most of us had a toy cash register when we were children?
* Have humans caused the craziness of the weather this year, or has Mother Nature always been a little loopy?
* Why do people who don't cook watch the Food Network?
* Has there ever been a woman anywhere who went to her closet, looked inside, and said "Yep, I have enough shoes?"
* How can any decent human being listen to a media personality who advocates violence against another human being?

I have too many shoes and it bothers me. I watch football but do not play it. I'm changing my dog's name to Boss O' Me. And I'm anti-social. (It took me a minute to get the Julia Child-butternut connections. Good one!)
I'm sorry, I still don't get the connection. We have only recently started getting butternut squashes in our shops.
We never did get Julia Child round here. I know she is a famous cook, there is a film mentioning her.....
Put it down to my being English.
What do you do with a butternut squash apart from making soup? A young guest made that for us a few years ago. (The first time I had ever seen one!) It looked like such hard work for nothing much in return. The soup was nice, but then he had added some lovely spices to it.
I don't get the butternut squash and Julia Child thing either... terrible when you have to explain a joke, I know, but could you clue us in? You can use butternut squash to make pies to - same philosophy as pumpkin.
Ha, the butternut joke was a pretty big stretch. Julia Child seems to have cooked EVERYTHING in butter--and lots of it--so I was thinking the other day that she was nuts about butter, so a "butter nut."
Quite a stretch, I know.
