    You tell the difference in a hard or soft dime by bitting into it. A soft dime will show your bite mark while a hard dime will break your teeth.

    It's kinda like eating a hard or soft pretzel.

    Wow. I was just thinking about Detecto when I was having my morning constitution today. Not really sure why...Not someone I've thought about in years.

    I think of Space Alien Joe when some 'special' posts show up. Sometimes I think some political science or psychology class is using the site for projects.

    I've thought the same thing at times. Maybe writing a thesis.
