Do US pharmacies get pills in big boxes and count them out into orange pots? Do they come in blister packs and are popped out into orange pots?

U.S. pharmacies distributed pills in both ways, depending on the drug in question. Last time I was prescribed antibiotics they came in a blister pack, but I've also gotten them in the orange bottle things. Sometimes there's a child safety concern as well, the bottles tend to have tricky opening methods (push and hold down, then turn) that make it harder for shorties to get into your pills.

Are the orange pots just used in film and TV to show drugs are being prescribed (I know they featured heavily whenever House was having one of his junkie moments)?

They are more visually obvious than a blister pack. Plus, similar to what Roy said, there was a time when pills always came in bottles so there's a strong cultural association there. In the case of the comic, I think it's just easier to anthropomorphize a bottle than a blister pack.

I am very immature and so find supermarket scrabble hilarious. You'll quickly understand how it's played but there are some notty words.

Edit - apparently this is several years old. I feel like I've been missing out.

Livestrong articles are written by idiots.

Myth 2: Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you're not slimming down from working out, this is the reason.

Reality: While most of us have probably heard this myth before, it's incorrect. According to the National Academy of Sports Medicine and Stacey Penney, NASM CES, PES, FNS, one pound of muscle actually weighs the same as one pound of fat.

No shit Sherlock. In other news, a pound of lead weighs the same as a pound of feathers

Actually, they are written FOR idiots. I have to use a similar approach with many of the documents I write for elected officials. And doubly so for stuff I write for public consumption.

Also, those same feathers, and four times the original pound of lead, all weigh the same in zero gravity.

This article from the Boston Globe was written by a guy I've known since about 1965, my brother's best friend. My brother is one of the guys in the article doing the revisiting. See if you can guess which one is my brother.

I think it's hilarious. And yes, I know all three of these guys, and I know exactly where they are throughout the whole article.

OMG,

Is this guy for real? Treating scum like this is understandable but edging them on is [???] .

Russian Mafia, Romanian, Triads, Yakusi or even Nigerian nitwits is not worth it.

I suppose this is one case of Internet masturbation might end up in a terminal hard on - in a coffin!

What I don't understand is how the scammer can stick with it in the long game. At best it is a waste of time, at worst they're exposing themselves to law enforcement. Maybe they're just not very proffessional in the scamming bussiness.
