On an average weekday, the island of Manhattan has about 3.1 million people on it... or about 1% of the population of the United States. And about 1 in 38 Americans lives in New York City.
I can't wrap my head around it. This doesn't seem like it can be true.

The greater NY metropolitan area has about 23.5 million people. The population of the us is 313.9 million. Nearly 8% of the population of the US lives in the greater NYC area, or 1 in about 12 people in this country.
Yet to me, that seems so small. Lawl.

No wonder so much fiction revolves around New York.
I've been to Manhattan for Fleet Week in 2005. I had to drive there.
I can DEFINITELY believe it.

It takes me 20 minutes to get to a 20,000 pop town...
TIL Yoshi's full name is T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas.
Amazing right!?
TIL: Peach mango salsa tastes like spicy baby food.
Spread it flat to partially dehydrate in a small pancake shape (think fruit leather/snacks consistency), then put it on a hamburger the same way you would a slice of cheese.

TIL of Heat Vision and Jack.
Back in 1999, Dan Harmon (creator of Community and Rick and Morty) and Rob Schrab (Creator of Scud: the Disposable Assassin) got together to write and executive produce a pilot for a new TV series, with Ben Stiller directing the pilot. The two main characters are Jack Austin (played by Jack Black), a former astronaut exposed to dangerous levels of solar radiation and thus gain super-intelligence whenever the Sun is out, and Heat Vision (played by Owen Wilson), a talking motorcycle who is the result of Jack's friend Doug being zapped by a NASA laser and merging with a motorcycle. Now, with both wanted for experimentation by government agent Ron Silver, Heat Vision and Jack travel around and end up caught in adventures and saving lives.
Fox Broadcasting passed on the pilot.

I think it might be too sweet for a burger. At least the way I like burgers.
I was kind of thinking of making a BBQ sauce with it. A little sweet, a little tangy. I'm not sure what to add to it since I usually make a tomato and vinegar-based BBQ sauce.
Put in on fish tacos? It seems like it would go well with that.
It's like Knight Rider for the new millennium!
TIL that there's someone named Candlejack. Have you guys heard about hi...
There is no one named Candlejack! It's so ridi
That's horrifying, depressing, and I'm going to eat less shrimp now.
Also, the Guardian is really good at these exposes.
Also, what would Forrest Gump say about this?
I try to buy local seafood simply because it should be fresher. Now I will buy local seafood for 2 reasons.
Slaving is as slaving does.
Well, you should also throw any diamonds in your household away, because blood diamonds.
Don't have any.
(This is mainly due to economic reasons rather than ethical ones. FWIW I prefer ruby/sapphire and alexandrite anyway. Mmm, alexandrite...so pretty)

Oh, then don't forget about bananas. Bananas come from the blood, sweat, tears, and stolen land from South Americans.
