Random Notes from a Crank

The recent effects of the polar vortex has me thinking about a saying I've heard said before when it's cold as heck: "It's colder than a witch's tit." 

I don't get that. Why would one assume that a witch's tit is cold? She could be horrible, but that doesn't necessarily mean her tits are cold. To that end, does that mean warlocks' tits or dicks are cold? 

Ah, sexist language patterns, you reveal yourselves in so many varied ways.

"The Phrase Finder" website has a bit of research about the saying

I've always wondered what exactly makes up these chicken nuggets. Rubber is apparently an option if you're going by the article by The Washington Post: "Tyson Nuggets Recall: 36,000 Pounds May Have Been Contaminated with Rubber."

That's why they might always taste so .... wait, wait, wait, wait for it ............  rubbery. 

Moscow Don has the scientific knowledge and acumen of a seven-year-old to which scientists reponded with a comic to make it simple and understandable: "NOAA Scientists Debunk Trump's 'Global Warming' Tweets with a Cartoon."
