Good freaking lord.
That's what bothers me about the passport thing. Sure, now it's just people that can't otherwise prove their citizenship, but what will it be 5 years from now?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hold up. Wikipedia tells me those are what are generally called "currants" anyway: [link] So one would be safe calling their current scones authentic with the Zante currants in.
OH! That wikipedia page reminds me -- ita, is bun and cheese an Easter thing? I saw that on someone's Facebook page, and now I wish I had had some this weekend.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm afraid to ask what hummus is a dirty joke about in ancient Greek comedy.
