"Many times useful inventions and discoveries have been made by unintended research."
True that. You won't stumble across many new things sitting around on your couch, but in the course of "wandering aimlessly about", you might kick up something useful...

Wouldn't it be great to have a job where all you have to worry about is where potatoes came from?

"Wouldn't it be great to have a job where all you have to worry about is where potatoes came from?" Or, no job at all, like me.

Posted earlier.The strange thing is that the earlier thread, based on research from the same guy, Spooner, contradicts what he said here. In the old story he said they came from Peru, here he says they came from Chile.
