Go on, git. A good hour's worth of mostly-worthless learning's to be had.
Great truths are worth repeating:
"It is better to live in the corner of a roof
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman." -Proverbs 21:9
"It is better to live in the corner of a roof
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman." -Proverbs 25:24

It's basically the Hispanic version of Dracula, but instead of sucking on the necks of nubial young females, it attacks goats... ;)
Someone I know that is a graphic artist actually made up a Chubacabra Tequilla T-Shirt with a cartoon goat on the front with a half lime hanging off one of the horns and a salt shacker shaking salt on the goat and the caption read, "Do you like your goat with Lime or Salt?" and the back of the Shirt had a cartoon Vampire Bat wearing sunglasses with Chubacabra Tequilla wrapping around the circular picture of the Chubacabra. :)

Einstein said Everything is Relative.
Heisenberg said Everything is Uncertain.
Therefore, everything is relatively uncertain.
