Why does theatre popcorn tastes soooo good compared to homemade?

I really don't get it. On the weekend, I popped my popcorn in the microwave and prepared a bowl of melted butter. After 2 and half minutes, I ripped open the bag o popcorn and placed it in a lot of butter.  I put a lid on the bowl and shook it around. Picked up a handful of popcorn and was shocked how bad it tasted. I love theatre popcorn now. I'm addicted to it and it's so bloody expensive at the theatre for it.

I've googled around on the internet and found comments such as popcorn at theatres having 'exicitoxins'. Doesn't sound too appetizing when it ends with 'toxins'! does it?  But too late, millions of us are hooked to this popcorn. It's like a smoking habit. I bet anyone reading this rant right now is picturing themselves munching down on a handful of theatre popcorn!

Boy do I want some right now!

I guess I'm heading to the theatres tonight! =)

Facebook

The other day, I was watching House. One of the doctor's (Chase) had his facebook account hacked by some girl he had a 3-some with. The girl posted fake pics of his 'ahem' and posted many things up that hurt his reputation. Major ouch.

So this brings me to my rant of the day. Facebook....why it scares me so. Imagine if you have over 1000 friends and your facebook account gets hacked. Heck, Mark Zuckerberg also got his own account hacked recently (http://idhacker.com/2011/01/27/mark-zuckerberg-account-hacked/) . Now you'll have to contact that 1000 people on your friends list to explain that you no longer are in control of your facebook account. What is the likelyhood you have all those people on your Facebook's email address or phone numbers? The thing is, a growing number of people have been using Facebook now as their primary and sometimes ONLY means of communication. I hope this rant is read by some people so that people just wake up! It's time to wake up, facebook is a fun place but it's not a place to do business, not a place to keep all your contacts! Simply, it should be a secondary or tertiary place of communication.

Once it's hacked, you're toast!
