Pat Sajak
Remember Wheel of Fortune? Remember Vanna White? Come on, we all remember Vanna White, especially the guys -- why else would we watch the game show? Well, Pat Sajak was the little, well mannered man, that couldn't keep his mouth shut. Still can't. Goes to show you the power of the internet. Pat's got his own site, and on it -- well -- Pat wants to talk to us. Pat wants to tell us his opinions, and wants us to know what's going on with him. Is Wheel of Fotune still on? I should ask Pat. I wonder what happened to Vanna? Maybe she's got her own site.
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...
