This and That

[shakatany]

Have you read this? There's a restaurant in NYC offering a dessert for $25,000!!! It doesn't mention if you get to keep the goblet dressed with a golden band dripping with 1 carat of white diamonds or the specially made spoon, encrusted with 3 carats of diamonds but I doubt it. If my math is correct one could feed perhaps 5 families in America for a year or maybe even 50 families for a year in some parts of the world for the same amount. What are we coming to?

There have been a couple great feminist-oriented posts lately:
One over at Feministe looks at how the symptoms of pregnancy would be described if the patient was male. Thought-provoking.

Another at Pandagon reveals how anti-choicers in Colorado are pushing a ballot initiative to define a fertilized egg as a person!!  All of a sudden I'm humming Monty Python's "Every Sperm is Sacred" from "The Meaning of Life" (I prefer "The Galaxy Song")

Speaking of the galaxy, if you are anywhere where you can see the night sky go look in the northeast sky for Comet Holmes which now appears larger than the sun. I probably won't be able to see it from mid-Manhattan :(

If there are still any "Losties" out there you can begin viewing 2-minute "mobisodes" at abc.com (read about it here).
