Pomegranate

I came across this video describing the wrong way to open a pomegranate. My grandmothers would be turning in their graves if they saw this. She destroys the poor fruit making it bleed, then puts it in the water to get the arils. I was horrified. What are you doing to our national fruit woman? You're killing it. After I posted it online, a friend posted this. Now this is the correct way to do this. Watch and enjoy. This guy needs to be given an award for this.

Today is the big game!

Come on boys. Let's do it. Beat Tunisia. GO IRAN!!!

Europe won its first WC away from its home continent. And we had a brand new champion. Did I mention SPAIN already?!
