I think I once heard of a pill that disallows you from feeling or tasting anything on your tongue or near your throat, but that was a side fret so not recommended.

I dunno about a pill, but I know there is a liquid type of medicine that does that. I had to have an endoscopy (looking at the stomach with a camera and tube) done last September, and they give you that medicine right before the procedure to help with your gag reflex so you don't damage your throat.

The nurse warned me beforehand what it did, as several previous patients freaked out by thinking their tongue was swelling/their throat was closing up. Can confirm, you can't swallow and it does freak you out a bit. :P

(For anyone wondering, I had bad stomach problems last year, and they were ruling out ulcers and other bad stuff. Turns out I have acid reflux that actually goes in the reverse direction, damaging the bottom part of my stomach (pyloric sphincter) when I eat too much grease/oil and not enough vegetables.)
Let me tell you about Homestuck.

Basically it's like Skylanders. Where you take control of of a character and have them run around in a hub world and do activities, fight enemies and level up (though some bundles like the Star Wars and Avengers bundles include their own stories). And like Skylanders, to play as these characters, you have to own a figure of them and place them on this board right here.
Image

The characters are also split into four different groups. These groups include characters made by Disney themselves (be it animated or live action), Pixar characters, Marvel characters, and Star Wars characters. Here's a checklist of how many there are right now if you're curious.

I'd guess that was expensive.

(Actually, here, the starter pack goes for the price of a PlayStation 3 and each character is the price of a PS3 game)

So, I was wondering why cats like to chew from grass, apart from the 'helping in digestion' part, while chaperoning the kittens outside. I took a blade of grass and started chewing on it. It tasted surprisingly sweet and sour, like green apples. I ended up chewing a few more of them xD

Scientists have found that it really doesn't help digestion that much, as the blades are selected specifically instead of randomly. They believe it to be a random occurrence but are unsure exactly why animals eat grass other then the fact that it may taste bitter sweet to them.

Note to self: Try fermenting grass and see how it tastes.

I've heard about it! I'd like to try it if I could find it.

I also contemplated making dandelion wine sometime, but the neighbors mowed our dandelions for us so that puts the kibosh on that possibility. :P

I ate a Carolina Reaper last year and will never do it again... At least not by itself anyway. It is the current record holder for the hottest in the world. The flavor however was amazing. ^^ I haven't had the chance to eat a ghost pepper yet though.
