Ever wondered… What is it like to eat someone?

Well the wondering is over! HuFu imitates the texture and flavour of human flesh. Great for those vegetarian cannibals on your Christmas list!

Here’s a little item that I could probably use in my cubicle: The Patata Chef french fry vending machine.

The child in this picture is 25 years old. Sadly, her stunted growth was a result of a strict diet of potato products.

Let’s see… if I get one of those, I’ll probably need to buy one of these. And perhaps get one of these, too.

I have begun to take a more serious interest in my health and eating well. For example, I now try to park my car at least a couple of blocks away from the office for the exercise. And although I still don’t eat breakfast, I take a moment to add half-and-half cream to my coffee, for the nutritional value.

My drive to the cubicle farm this morning was a smoky one, due to a massive fire that’s burning out of control in the Burns Bog in Delta, BC, just southeast of Vancouver. The air smells and tastes like peat smoke, and ash is falling to the ground as far away as downtown Vancouver. As I crossed the bridge to Richmond, I saw the massive column of smoke that’s rising from Delta. The very thing that has made peat such a valued fuel for thousands of years is going to make this one hard to put out — they say that bog fires burn slowly, and underground, so that even if it looks like it’s out, it may smoulder for weeks and even flare up again.

On the bright side, smokers stepping outside for a puff can spend less on cigarettes now.
