Ah, spam. But cheese is better. For people, who don't know what this 'cheese' is:

Cheese is a solid food made from the milk of cows, goats, sheep and other mammals, by coagulating the milk. This is accomplished by first acidification with a bacterial culture and then employing an enzyme, rennet (or rennet substitutes) to coagulate the milk to "curds and whey."[1] The precise bacteria and processing of the curds play a role in defining the texture and flavor of most cheeses. Some cheeses also feature molds, either on the outer rind or throughout.

There are hundreds of types of cheese produced all over the world. Different styles and flavors of cheese are the result of using milk from various mammals or with different butterfat contents, employing particular species of bacteria and molds, and varying the length of aging and other processing treatments. Other factors include animal diet and the addition of flavoring agents such as herbs, spices, or wood smoke. Whether the milk is pasteurized may also affect the flavor. The yellow to red coloring of many cheeses is a result of adding annatto. Cheeses are eaten both on their own and cooked as part of various dishes; most cheeses melt when heated.

Ahh Cheese, but Cheese is made from milk;

Milk is an opaque white liquid produced by the mammary glands of female mammals (including monotremes). Mammary glands are highly specialized sweat glands. The female ability to produce milk is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. It provides the primary source of nutrition for newborns before they are able to digest other types of food. The early lactation milk is known as colostrum, and carries the mother's antibodies to the baby. It can reduce the risk of many diseases in the baby. Males of all mammal species retain the breasts that are part of the fundamental mammalian animal structure, hence their nipples. Lactation occurs in males in certain rare circumstances, both naturally and artificially, however, some pharmaceuticals precipitate lactation in males readily. The exact components of raw milk varies by species, but it contains significant amounts of saturated fat, protein and calcium as well as vitamin C.

Anyway When do we get started?

 

[evertonfan]

I physically have no idea.

 

[Karachi Xpress]

Actually no one has any idea when this is going to start. The fixtures aren't done yet.

 

[H0wZ4T!]

You see Ollie, milk comes from the mythical creature known as a 'cow':

Cattle, colloquially referred to as cows (though technically cow refers only to female bovines), are domesticated ungulates, a member of the subfamily Bovinae of the family Bovidae. They are raised as livestock for meat (called beef and veal), dairy products (milk), leather and as draught animals (pulling carts, plows and the like). In some countries, such as India, they are honored in religious ceremonies and revered. It is estimated that there are 1.3 billion head of cattle in the world today.[1]

 

[Ollie_H]

Ahh yes JJ. You mention how they are honoured in religious ceremonies. These have been going on for younks!! In acient time they would sacrifices;
This brings me onto Sacrifice;

Sacrifice (from a Middle English verb meaning "to make sacred", from Old French, from Latin sacrificium: sacer, sacred; sacred + facere, to make) is commonly known as the practice of offering food, or the lives of animals or people to the gods, as an act of propitiation or worship. The term is also used metaphorically to describe selfless good deeds for others, or a short term loss in return for a greater gain (such as in a game of chess).

The practice of sacrifice is found in the oldest human records. The archaeological record contains human and animal corpses with sacrificial marks long before any written records of the practice. Sacrifices are a common theme in most religions, though the frequency of animal, and especially human, sacrifices are rare today.

Some still do sacrifices but they are not as violent as they were back then

hello every one.

 

[Karachi Xpress]

hello every one.

Do you actually know what hello means??
`
There are many different theories to the origins of the word. It might be a contraction of archaic English "whole be thou". [8] Another source has been suggested to be the phrase "Hail, Thou", as used in some translations of the Bible (see Luke 1:28 and Matthew 27:14 for examples).[citation needed]


Telephone
The word hello has also been credited to Thomas Edison, specifically as a way to greet someone when answering the telephone; according to one source, he expressed his surprise with a misheard Hullo. [9] Alexander Graham Bell initially used Ahoy (as used on ships) as a telephone greeting. [10] However, in 1877, Edison wrote to T.B.A. David, the president of the Central District and Printing Telegraph Company of Pittsburg:

"Friend David, I do not think we shall need a call bell as Hello! can be heard 10 to 20 feet away. What you think? Edison - P.S. first cost of sender & receiver to manufacture is only $7.00."

By 1889, central telephone exchange operators were known as 'hello-girls' due to the association between the greeting and the telephone.[1]


Hullo
Hello may also be derived from Hullo. Hullo was in use before hello and was used as a greeting and also an expression of surprise. Charles Dickens uses it in Chapter 8 of Oliver Twist in 1838 when Oliver meets the Artful Dodger:

"Upon this, the boy crossed over; and walking close up to Oliver, said 'Hullo, my covey! What's the row?'"

It was in use in both senses by the time Tom Brown's Schooldays was published in 1857 (although the book was set in the 1830s so it may have been in use by then):

"'Hullo though,' says East, pulling up, and taking another look at Tom; 'this'll never do...'"
"Hullo, Brown! where do you come from?"
Although much less common than it used to be, the word hullo is still in use, mainly in British English.

When you have double checked, filled in the gaps, and done any changes you want, you can post it in the Final List Lodgements thread.

I swapped myself for Gonner

 

[aussie_ben91]

I reckon we start handing out $2 finds for anyone who unwantly starts hassling everybody over such topics such as 'cheese', 'telephones' or 'milk'!

The proceeds can go to Matt Roberts' monty python.

 

[evertonfan]

And my flying circus.

 

[smssia0112]
