Cooking school for lawyers

Back studying of an evening and most disappointed to hear that there will be no tortes in torts. What happened to the much lauded interdisciplinarity?

On the list

It's frustrating being an eco-kid and trying to live ethically when others who one might think would be on the same side do not. The following people will be reported to Captain Planet and the Planeteers who will no doubt ensure they come to a sticky end:

* People who buy cage eggs when they can afford free range. Very mean. If you want to torment chickens do it in person.
* People who take plastic bags for a single item. Especially if that item is a newspaper. Turtles hate you.
* People who do not put bells on their cats, especially if they let them out at night. Stupid.
* People who don't recycle, especially when the recyc bin is less than a metre from the regular bin. Too lazy to be true.
* People who drive for trips that are less than 1km and do not involve carrying pianos or whitegoods.
* People who drive to work by themselves in a car every day when they could take public transport and then arrive at the office to complain about the traffic, the price of petrol and air quality. Aaaaaargh!

Ambrosia

I have long asserted (most often drunkenly) that not only dumpling the perfect food, but that the genius of stuffing something in something else and serving with some kind of sauce was evidenced by the fact that almost all cultures has their own version of the 'dumpling'. We have dumplings and gyoza and ravioli and so on. I have also been known to argue for quenelles as a form of dumpling. And finally, with the wonder of Wiki, I have some proof - here.

Next stop - proving my 'everything has 3 layers' theory...

JC is down wit u

More hilarity from Rh Von Lux.

SMS from Pope Benedict XVI to pilgrims for WYD this morning:

'Young friend, God and his people expect much from u because u have within you the Fathers supreme gift: the Spirit of Jesus - BXVI'

Should have been:
'Yo mofo, God & his peeps xpect much frm u cos u has w/i u Dad's gift++:
Spirit of G.sus kthx B16 :)'

Lyrical stormings of the Bastille

R Von Lux's take on the lyrics of the Marseilleise:

Leader of the resistance: "They come right here among us to slaughter our sons and wives!"

*whispered aside from Aide*

*Leader covers microphone with hand, whispers* "We have daughters? Merde/who knew."
