I have no idea, but GONE WITH THE WIND? How many people have actually READ the book, and not just seen the movie.
One summer in college, my goal was to not read any books that were shorter than 300 pages. Therefore, I read GwtW.
Let me just say: great movie, sucksuckSUCKASS book. Horribly racist as well as poorly written.
eggs increase risk of death
Urk. I read that post as The Boy was cracking eggs to make dinner (huevos Tim-os; his version of huevos rancheros). Oh well.
Given the story recounted above, I am a firm believer in blind dates.
Tom, you may end up marrying megan's dad. IJS.
OK, but that egg study doesn't control for anything--at the end of the article it's like "Men who ate more eggs were also, older, fatter, drank more, smoked more, and were less likely to exercise". So, SHOCKER that they died more, right? Maybe if you're in shape and exercising and not smoking, you can eat all the eggs you want!
Go, Tom! I wish someone would set me up on a blind date.

If Tom brings my father back from the dead just to go on a date, I think we can safely claim it to be both the most pathetic and most awesome blind date ever.

Like the NY Times story the other day about the tough toll of blogging, citing as evidence a 60 year old man dying of a heart attack.

Creepy, unexpectedly homosexual, yet exhilarating! I predict wackiness will ensue.
(Tom, I'm well aware that you're neither gay nor a necromancer [....at least, I don't *think* you're a necromancer]; I just couldn't resist the juxtaposition of your blind date and megan's dad's story.)

Huh. I just realised that I can't set you up on a blind date. I no longer have that NY hookup.
::pokes around recesses of brain::
No, I think I don't. But I totally would have set you up if R hadn't moved!
I was just reading more bits on brain disease and art, and the bios have, unsurprisingly, tales of mental decline. Oh, so depressing. Must focus back on work, dammit.

Huh. I loved the book, thought the movie was pretty good, and thought the movie was MUCH more racist than the book.

It's been a long time since I read it, but this was pretty much my impression as well.
