This is how I categorize them:
* Jelly = Fruit juice
* Jam = Fruit puree
* Preserves = Fruit chunks 
Widipedia, on the other hand, gives us this very salient treatise:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_preserves 
OMG! And then I realized just ~how often~ I use Wiki as a source of info. RRrrraughhh!

[Note: I am not making this up] So Pakistan is about to impose a nationwide filther on texting? And one of the forbidden words will be 'Budweiser'?

I don't think I've ever texted about Bud or any other fizzy light lager.

How about monkey crotches? You can't text 'monkey crotch' in Pakistan any more.
Oh. You don't think I set our filther off, do you? I hope not.

How about the crotches of trousers, which might need sewing up? Can you text your tailor about important crotch mending?

The filther list specifies monkey crotch. If you have a pet monkey, forget texting about its trousers.

Sounds like an interesting insight into swearing in Pakistan.
I mean, I knew Budweiser is nasty, but...

None of that American Budweiser for me, but I wouldn't say no to a pint of the real stuff...

That should keep you around for a bit longer.
Since noone was talking in any of my threads I thought i'd continue work on my current entry - modern piracy. We have several on old piracy, but nothing about the threat it is today
