defective yeti pointed out his first post today in his 4 year Blogiversary post.

He talks about butter in the fridge and how putting it next to the toaster gets it just right by the time the toast pops out. I just discovered this same principle 2 days ago while cooking. I wanted a piece of buttered bread while I cooked, so I put the too-cold butter on the stove and when it was perfectly spreadable 2 minutes later, I felt like I just invented the gramophone.

32 years to figure that one out.
