Food = chain
This is what I probably deserve for not actually EATING food today; and just TALKING about it ( Read more... ) -
Circle of life indeed
Well, I've moved past the corn section of "The Omnivore's Dilemma", and on into the grass/organic section - and I must say, its giving me a lot to chew on (incidentally you can chew grass but you can't digest it, i.e. you lack a rumen; how's THAT for a diet food ( Read more... ) -

Who's got the biggest balls?
The world is conspiring to wring yet MORE wrongitude on my earlier prediction that the snow would stop. We received some incredibly horizon shortening (and beautiful) snow yesterday, which you'd know if you /lived in the midwest/watched the weather channel/were allergic to water. Yup, real wet heavy stuff - made me feel like I was walking on ( Read more... ) -
When I'm ashamed to be a scientist
It took more than 1 year for Miller Brewing Co. to file a patent for clear beer after Cystal Pepsi was born in 1993. There is a competing patent (as I see it anyway) that ALSO claims to make clear beer that sounds awfully familiar that was also granted in 1997. My guess; Miller'd've been more pissed if anybody would have liked clear beer ('cept ( Read more... ) -
