They saved Meinhof's brain, and now it's going back. New strategy against terrorism: autopsy first, then trial!
Harry Potter jellybeans. Mmmmm... Earwax.
Maybe you read about the LaughLab in last week's New Yorker. Finally checked out the site. A few laughs, and some interesting international differences in what people find funny. If you really want to knock 'em dead, 103 words about a necrophiliac duck should do it.
lunch at Aquagrill had more just ok parts than great parts but I have never loved this popular place.....dinner at Chimichurri Grill was great, the owner is nuts, very fun to hang with, the staeks purrfecto, best empenadas in town....
This wasn't what I was looking for, but it came up on two unrelated searches, so I'm posting it. Besides, you've got to love a blog called eschaton, though if you think you know where the name came from, you may be wrong.
here's some happy news...the earth's polarity is going to switch, and everyone's gonna be screwed.
This'd be a biggie for Osama and the Bush Administration.
the market these last weeks has had the grape people, they come every fall, we had 5 different grapes, one of the best market treats (oh and our little kitty likes the Delaware variety, pulp only).....
that pumpkey is too funny
When the gods want to punish you they deliver not one but two post election newspapers to your house, which feature the smiling? Trent Lott front page and center. So I have an extra one if anybody wants one. Actually two extra. Going once...going twice...gone with Monday's trash. On the bright side, I had a bit of good luck at work on Friday.
This place sounds good....and expensive....
Steve DiBenedetto's show which close's today 11/9, is brilliant and one of the finest art shows I have seen in years (I dont get out much:>).....Derek Eller 526-30W25
Cho Dang Gol, excellent Korean, was 2* in NYT in 1998 (Ruth I assume), daily tofu made, different and a worthy stop....55W35 / near 6th....
Monochrome forever!

small apocalypse wow blurb with pic in this week's new york mag (page 24 bottom left). lists the web site so get ready for some hits, jim.
Come join us on Tuesday night to party and watch the election results come in.
spent 4 hours at Lupa doing everything on the menu for the last meal there in 2002, still my favorite in NYC....the night before at GSIMidtown for 3 hours eating evrything in sight for my last meal there this week, holds it spot as well....
Reporting from off the beaten path, in the highly path-ified LES. Apizz, eldridge street just off stanton. No window exterior, but warm and friendly on the inside. I think they have some connection to peasant (soho).
Italian. Everything is cooked in a huge wood burning oven. Pizza's, baked lasagna (with wild boar), whole fish, chicken, steak, baked skate. $18 - $22.
Food is simple. Good. Room is very nice.
I'm not blown away, but very seviceable (if a bit expensive.) This will be a great addition to the neighborhood, except I bet it will get crowded. It's early (no press yet for them) and already the crowd is 100% from out of the neighborhood.
Worth a look.

jebus. glad i got out when i did - screamingmedia is now pinnacore.
A great meal at Wallsé(11th Street and Greenwich), which is fast becoming a favourite. Kurt, the irrepressible chef, is one of those impossibly thin people that likes to watch you chub up before his eyes. A tasting menu emerged, not a false note on the food front, the boozers looked well pleased too with the Austrian wine list, and a really wonderful staff. A chestnut soup and a squash soup amuse. Smoked trout palacinka. Spaetzle with white truffles. Foie gras terrine with apple. Wiener schnitzel with cucumber and potato salad. We were with a friend recently returned from Russia who just happened to have a huge tub of caviar in her sheared beaver purse, we sent it into the kitchen for the staff to have some, but they sent it back out with mountains of crème fraîche and delicious little Viennese palacinka pancakes. Desserts are, as one would expect from a nation of cake lovers, sublime. Try the Salzburgerknochen (literally the mountains of Salzburg), a sort of Austrian île flotant with fruit. Kurt is also in charge of Cafe Sabarsky (1048 Fifth Avenue at 86th Street) where you can go and pretend to be in Vienna for the afternoon, eat cake (there are also soups and sandwiches), drink great coffee and reduce yourself to a sugar and caffeine fuelled haze.
