Stinging nettle soup is quite good. I've sometimes eaten stinging nettles in the wild as long as you strip the stinging part from the leaves. It's not the same as actual poison ivy as my memory tells me that stinging nettles are quite mild, but people do eat these sorts of plants.
Looking it up now, poison ivy is pretty much inedable. Don't go out and eat any stinging plants just because of my posts. Stinging nettles however are still an actual delicacy.
Also who eats poison ivy/oak!? They're all trivially identifiable by sight, except in the dead of winter. Tough I did have one friend grab a large poison oak vine and swing like Tarzan on it. The aftermath of that was great.
The whole point is that they didn't know what it was. I couldn't tell them in advance because it was a quiz, and that would kind of defeat the purpose of saying, "Identify this plant."
Yes, I think that poison ivy is trivially identifiable, but actually it is one of the most variable plants in terms of foliage shape, color, size, etc. So when you are comparing it against other plants, some of which are similar, it becomes more complicated than just avoiding anything green with 3 leaflets.

Poison Ivy isn't a stinging plant. It contains an oil that causes irritation and allergic reactions from topical contact. The oil is in EVERY part of the plant except the pollen.
Nettles actually have tiny, sharp hollow hairs that inject you with chemicals. Simply soaking them in water (or cooking) removes the chemicals and renders them safe.
I want a new iPhone case because, as much as I've enjoyed having my phone look like a Game Boy for the past year, it doesn't fit well enough which is annoying. Also I've started to feel cheesy having this case now that I perform in front of audiences with a Game Boy on a regular basis.

Naked iPhone for four years, no breakages. Plan to have iPhone 5 naked as well.
So yeah, I've told Jeremy for ages to add 2 step authentication for this Google account and add Google Authenticator to his Android phone.
Does he listen? Nope.
This morning he gets an email from Google saying that someone from China was trying to access his accounts.
So for the last half hour he's all frustrated because he doesn't know how 2 step authentication works and doesn't understand the application specific passwords and is getting mad at me and in general.
I eventually explained it to him and everything is good now. Don't get mad at the messenger and the person who is helping you.

My 3G was always naked, and my 4 was for a while before I got this case. I never drop my electronics, but I've come to enjoy having something geeky on the back of my phone and it's often a conversation starter.
Sail, have I ever mentioned that chiptunes are awesome and I have mad respect for the fact that you do them?

Same. I don't use my NERV iPad case because I think it's going to protect it, I use it because I like to pretend to be working for Misato.

Best not to get those two confused.
