I thought this was a joke.

Someone please tell me that this is a joke...



...though, living in a country where people regularly slurp up shrimp and crab brains, I suppose I can't be too surprised.

Nope, it's real. And cholesterol is good for you. Seriously.

Wow. That is truly interesting. I didn't real it all, rather skimming though whatever caught my eye, but I can't really make heads or tails of it.

Sometimes I wish that either one of these was true now:

a) we were still hunter/gatherers, so we wouldn't have to deal with all this ill-health bullshit.

or

b) we were all post-humans so we wouldn't have to deal with all this ill-health bullshit.

Segueing into Charlie Stross' new book Halting States, I started it, read 2 chapters, and had to stop. It's all written, as far as I can tell, in 2nd person present-tense, but from the various perspectives of the characters. It's brilliant, given what I understand about the plot, but I'll need to mentally prep myself for this book. This will not be a casual read.
