A coworker brought in a big box of slightly-stale cookies, all different times, and when I asked him where they were from, he claimed he baked them all himself.

I have the writer on my twitter feed, he's Ben Goldacre, and it's called Bad Pharma. [link]

Oo, that looks like something I should get. Thanks, Suela.
