Food Myths: 10 Popular Food Myths Debunked
From the Consumerist. My personal favorite:
"It's OK to eat boxed pizza out of the garbage.
Leftover pizza that hasn't been refrigerated within two hours after being served can be dangerous, whether or not it has been in the garbage."
Are there actually people who think this is OK? ¶ 7:40 PM 0 Comments

People Don't Suck! Oh, wait...
OK, so I saw this video earlier today:
I watched it and thought that perhaps I had misjudged people, and they could, in fact, be decent and good. Then I read about Alex Barton, a five year kindergarten student, whose teacher allowed his classmates to "vote him out" of class, Survivor-style. Each child was also asked why he or she didn't like Alex. Also, it appears he may have Asperger Syndrome. Nice.

Indiana Jones
It's good. Really good. As my friend the Flick Filosopher put it, "The didn't fuck it up," which was, of course, the fear of every red-blooded Indy fan. Roger Ebert summed it up, nicely, too in saying, "I can say that if you liked the other Indiana Jones movies, you will like this one, and that if you did not, there is no talking to you." It's very comfortable and familiar, and I mean that in the best possible way.
