Dave, the ad could be interpreted as the product being made out of vegans (people who do not eat/use any animal products) rather than for vegans (as in not leather).

I'm juror #12 in a trial of domestic violence and resisting arrest. Been in court three days, with Monday likely the last, unless we have a tough time deciding. We seem to have a really good group of jurors, above average intelligence, so I am hopeful that we can come to a fair and unanimous decision without too much drama. It has been very tedious so far with the prosecutor treating us like 3rd graders. More later if interested.

Yeah, let us know how it turns out. I've served on a jury but not in many years. The three cases I was part of were very interesting and memorable in different ways. Embezzlement, child molestation (man abused his stepsons), and medical malpractice involving a woman whose husband died of a heart attack. The jury determined the sentence as well as the verdict. We gave the stepfather something like 130 years in prison. The malpractice suit involved an award of money to the wife. She didn't get as much as she wanted because we determined that the husband had some factors that would have reduced his life expectancy regardless (smoker, etc).

I just missed out on winning a 2017 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works car at Watkins Glen. I had 3 of the 4 numbers. Darn it, I had room in my garage for one too.

Bummer!

Update, much later, on court.
It took parts of 5 days, but we had a good jury. Took a total of about 3 1/2 hours of discussions and we all agreed on guilty of one charge, innocent of all the rest. The defendant was probably guilty of more, but the dumb prosecutor boxed us in with her bad arguments, and we were not allowed to consider all charges applying to the entire sequence of events.
When we were all in the elevator leaving together, I suggested we have a reunion in one year. Got quite a laugh. It really was a good group of people, all listened to others with interest and respect.

^ Pretty long trial.

OK...big survey question. What direction do you stir your drinks? And what influences the direction? (I have no idea.) My stir is left handed and counterclockwise. The +1 is right handed and clockwise. Do you think it makes a difference if it's left or right? Someone said it depends on whether you are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.

EDIT: Most seem to be clockwise (60%). Some stir in both directions!

Mostly clockwise.

OMG stirring the wrong direction could cause a typhoon in the southern hemisphere. Be careful.
