Hm, I fail at embedded youtube. Again. Why is this hard?
Hm. Interesting, now you just stick the link in and it auto-embeds it instead of needed the YT quotes. OK.

A standard cup of brewed coffee has more caffeine than a single shot of espresso. The belief that the reverse is true results from espresso having a higher unit volume of caffeine, which is offset by the much larger volume overall of a regular cup of coffee.

Edelweiss is not the national anthem of Austria, but is in fact an original composition created for the musical The Sound of Music. The actual Austrian national anthem is Land der Berge, Land am Strome (Land of the Mountains, Land on the River).

The historical Buddha was not obese. The "chubby Buddha" or "laughing Buddha" is a 10th-century Chinese folk hero by the name of Budai. In Chinese Buddhist culture, Budai came to be revered as an incarnation of Maitreya, the Bodhisattva who will become a Buddha to restore Buddhism after the teachings of the historical Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama, have fallen out of knowledge.

Chicken sandwiches are not copyrightable, according to the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit:

This will be my last post from my present location in the hick suburbs of the Hudson Valley. I hope to resume activity shortly from more accommodating surroundings.
Until then, I leave you with this:

Placing metal inside a microwave oven does not damage the oven's electronics. There are, however, other safety-related issues: electrical arcing may occur on pieces of metal not designed for use in a microwave oven, and metal objects may become hot enough to damage food, skin, or the interior of the oven. Metallic objects designed for microwave use can be used in a microwave with no danger; examples include the metalized surfaces used in browning sleeves and pizza-cooking platforms
It is a common misconception that Joe is a robot this week.

Are you giving it away/selling/giving it away again? 
For a free car I'd consider flying out there to pick it up and driving it home. Driving cross county in a Miata sounds like fun, and I've got a metric buttload of vacation stacked up.
