Considering how some English-print mangas mirror everything to left/right instead of right/left, I wonder: Is there actually some factor that makes one orientation preferable, or is it totally a coin-flip personal preference?

Should we start a second list of "signs you've been around 5M.net too long?" I think I could come up with some fun stuff!

A third list then, or however many lists it takes for me to actually be present to contribute.

In keeping with the 'junk food' theme a bit back, what are 'grits'?

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I could go to wikipedia to check, but if you had wanted their answer, you probably would have just gone there.  Edit: I did check the wikipedia article after all. It specified that grits are made of ground corn. The picture in the article showed grits in a bowl, so I may have been wrong about the "plate instead of a bowl" aspect of my answer. Oh well.

^ Grits are indeed made from corn (maize). What you may have seen eaten with a fork was whole hominy (corn kernels) but grits may be served either in a bowl or on a plate. In the South, they're often served with breakfast, instead of (or alongside) potatoes. I likes 'em -- butter and sugar, please.

I asked here instead of using Wikipedia because I knew I'd get variations on the same answer.
Strangely, I had pictured some sort of fried meat of something. I don't know why exactly, I think that's just what the word 'grits' sounded like to me. I'm hungry...

I suppose so?
How come the forum header has CamelCase for "Minute," but not "Net?" Shouldn't it either be fiveminute.net, Fiveminute.net, or FiveMinute.Net, but not FiveMinute.net?

Didn't we give a few people the power to delete spam threads? That porn thing is really bothering me...
