- I got thrush again, I'm pretty sure. Dammit.
- Article summarizing the increased use of pork as a demonstration/weapon against Muslims in America.
This is the second time in a month I've come across a discussion of "forbidden food as deliberate act of sabotage." I'm thinking this is going to become more and more common for minorities of all stripes and types. I wonder how long it will be until someone dies of allergens slipped deliberately into their food as an act of retaliation (if it hasn't already happened. Feel free to write about this idea).
- I watched the movie "Cars." Pixar can make me care about cars. Pixar is awesome.

sovay, this is for you: The stop-motion animation geniuses the Brothers Quay are shooting a film at Philadelphia's Mutter Museum ("the museum of medical oddities," one of the most creepy and awesome museums on the planet).

I don't know if it has happened, but grade-school bullies have already figured out that they can threaten some kids with food.

It has already happened. It happened at a school in the US a couple of years ago. The kids who did it didn't realize that the allergen in question was serious enough to be fatal, and were in fact completely horrified to find out the hard way, but are (quite correctly) being held responsible for their actions.
I've seen some other examples of this as well. There was a horrific confrontation last year between members of PETA and a biker gang that PETA was trying to picket.
