Too many chromosomes. I am enjoying The Omnivore's Dilemma, though not as much as Botany of Desire, which leads me to wonder, is this one even better? I have developed the default assumption that the first or second album by any band is likely to be their best, but it seems that I've internalized no such rule of thumb for literature. Perhaps I don't read enough.

=

I'm not not sure that this expression has anything to do with the McNugget Number, which may itself simply be an indicator that mathematicians are eating way too much McDonald's.
Ever wonder about those discrete McNugget morphotypes? (image links…)

(thanks to Pharyngula, Mike the Pod, McDonald's, Wizards of the Coast and Mexico!)

If you’re too close-minded to accept that “Hooray for Boobies” might be superior ro “One Fierce Beer Coaster,” well sir, there’s not much I can do for you.

At the exact moment that I wrote the above inane comment, my two roommates were listening to Michael Pollan read at BookPeople. !
