tee hee.....stupidity *is* painful afterall

Damn...that had to hurt

Marie and I have recently gotten into watching this show called
"Good Eats" on the Food Network. The host, Alton Brown, offers a
lot of interesting recipes on a geek tip. For example, in one
episode he asks some materials people at GaTech about the
properties of various casserole dishes.

A recent episode called "The Pouch Principle" offered a dish that
is easy to make, takes about 30 minutes total to prepare, and
offers a great deal of potential variety. Anything from asian noodle
dishes to hearty meat and potatoes stuff. It sounds perfect for
preparing food after work when you're tired but you want something
good.

] puppet who, buoyed by his campaign's Internet savvy,
] momentarily came to seem like a really good idea?

I believe this website was once memed a long time ago. Its pretty neat - a website where real scientific problems are being posted in hopes that someone can come up with a solution - you get paid $100,000 for coming up with something, but I imagine that something being solved that was a big solution would cause intellectual property rights arguments I would imagine. Anyway - its cool anyway:)
