Dream This morning I woke up pissed. I had a dream that left me unsatisfied. I was in a cafeteria style food joint (I can't call it a restaurant), and it was being run by a bunch of old guys. People were in there getting their breakfast, getting served, when I joined the line. I asked for a grilled cheese sandwich and a coffee. I got both. The coffee was poured into a cup, and the ole guy behind the grill make me my sandwich. Then I had to pay. I handed over a $50 bill, and got back $23 dollars change. The sandwich and the coffee was $9.90. What the #$@!? I tried explaining ... I did the math. The two old guys behind the counter, laughed at me, and told me I couldn't add. They were toying with me. They got it. They kept making me explain over and over. And each time they would either tell me they didn't get it, or they would laugh and telling me I was pulling a fast one on them. They would not give the correct change. Then, as I was arguing, the guy that made the sandwich for me, sneaks it off my plate and starts to chomp away at it, hiding it under the counter every time I look at him! I ended up with a $10 coffee! Pissed, I walked out of the joint to my car - the place erupted with laughter as I left. I got to my car, and pulled out the machine gun I had there. Then I woke up. I woke up feeling unsatisfied and pissed. My day turned out better though.

The first chef

First came fire ... and then, as the camera shifts to the soon to be late-village idiot, you're left wondering -- just what was going through that mind -- and food is put on the fire, for the first time, and cooking is accidentally discovered by humanity. The first chef is ridiculed by grunts, then the local thug tries a sample of the burnt carcass, and soon, everybody gets queued at the McDonalds drive-thru. What happened? Richard Wrangham of Harvard believes there's more to cooking than evolutionary history would have you believe. Wrangham points out that there is no way homo sapiens could survive on just raw food. Raw food just doesn't give up calories as easily as cooked food -- and raw food makes the digestive system expend more energy to get at those calories. Cooking on the other hand breaks complex molecules down, allowing the digestive system to make easy work of them -- and cooking also softens food, allowing the body to get to the calories with less effort...

Inner Cow

This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Researchers cut holes into the sides of cows and insert an cannula, which allows access to a live animals stomach. These holes are so big, you can actually see what's going on inside -- literally, reach into the stomach of a cow. Cows stomach have millions microbes that aid in digestion, and surprisingly, cannulated cows are usually the healthiest of the herd. You would think that walking around with a hole in your stomach would be bad for you, but apparently not. Some farmers apparently keep cannulated cows in their herd so they can serve as microbe donors to sick cows. Just bizarre. [Source: Oddity Central ]
