I just got a letter from Whoopi Goldberg urging me to send money to:

		The Equal Protection Campaign

According to Whoopi, "This group has already won a major battle

Oh fish!  I can't resist an obscure units diatribe with the 
added bonus of it being a kind of strangely exhibitionist excercise.
Ok, ok, I made the acquaintance of this pleasant little photon and
got it to agree to a little test.  I started it at the top of my head
and got it to race down to my heels.  After questioning it it was
able to let on that it had done the trip in 6 ns, and along the way
it had noticed on average 3.8 micrograms per Angstrom pass by.

Oh great netgods at large forgive me my frivolous waste of these
precious electron transitions, and my sadly lacking physics theory.

Ob-motss: well the photon _could_ have been gay ...

Pray tell, why is "predictability" a sufficient excuse for making
admittedly "gratuitous" insults?

Rather reminds me of childhood bullies who would pick on
particular kids because they were more certain of getting a
good "show" out of it.

Arnold's recent posting about how to cook duck reminded me of something
from Brillat-Savarin's "The Physiology of Taste" (translation by the
late M.F.K. Fisher):
   
   Few people know how to eat small feathered game; here is the best way,
   as told to me confidentially by Canon Charcot, a born gourmand, and a
   true gastronomer thirty years before the word was known:
   
   Take by the beak a fine fat little bird, salt him lightly, pull out his
   gizzard, stuff him deftly into your mouth, bite him off sharply close to
   your fingertips, and chew with vigor: there will flow from him enough
   juice to fill your whole mouth, and you will enjoy a taste experience
   unknown to the common herd.
   
This recipe would probably not go over well today; you'll notice that
there was no mention of cooking the bird, or even killing it.  In her
translator's glosses, Mary Frances says:
   
   This brutishly refined recipe has made me search through every book I
   own, without success, and at the end I must admit that the puzzling part
   of it is what Canon Charcot dud with the feathers.  Did he pull them
   from the little live bird?  This seems likely, from what the Professor
   writes in "Meditation 27".  Or did he dip it still peeping into a pot of
   boiling water?  Or did he choke down the whole musty mouthful without a
   single refinement?
   
   I prefer to think that the tiny fat carcass was plucked with finicky
   care by a lay brother, and then rubbed artfully with a bit of sweet
   butter so that the powdering of salt would stick, when hunger finally
   pushed the Canon to devour it.  I can see him tuck the wee thing into
   his ample mouth, snip off the two curled claws with his strong teeth,
   and flick them other his shoulder as he champs and chews and holds back
   with his sensitive lips the juice that leaps forward from his tongue and
   his gums and his "inner cheeks".  I hear the mighty ecclesiastical
   crunching.  It is good.

More about live food from Meditation 27 later.  Brillat-Savarin also liked
robins, by the way.

no sooner do I go babbling about 80,000 people on motss and how it
probably isn't off by more than a factor of two, when Brian Reid
changes his statistics counting.

The latest news.lists posting lists soc.motss to be about 39,000
readers. This is literally half of what was reported last month. I
asked about it, and what happened is he re-estimated the size of the
Usenet (something about NNTP servers inflating figures from what they
were 14 months ago). So most groups shrunk a bunch, including us.

Of course, 39,000 is still an enormous amount of people. 

I think I've beaten my record for "coming out to most people at once".
It used to be soc.motss postings, but I signed one of the voter's
pamphlet statements against Measure 9, and that gets mailed to every
registered voter in Oregon. Oddly, this makes me nervous (xref: my
next motss posting).
