Herbs are used fresh and spices are generally in dried form."

Penn and Teller Get Hippies to Sign Petition to Ban Water
This is a classic from Penn and Teller's Bullsh*t! show. They send someone to an environmental rally to collect signatures to ban dihydrogen monoxide - in other words, H2O or water. You wouldn't believe how many brainless lefties fell hook, line and sinker for this, demonstrating once again how quickly they join movements without even bothering to investigate the facts.(Read More)
