Monday E-mail Easter and other springy links. Veteran project members will recall that I like to explore all aspects of the Internet, staying with health-related themes most of the time, but occasionally presenting links related to library, business, computer, seasonal, or just plain fun topics. From the U. S. Information Service in Stockholm, Sweden comes this short account of the history of that silliest of holidays. There are links dealing with eggs and egg products, egg trivia and facts, holiday egg use and recipes, nutrition, preservation and storage, safe handling and use of raw eggs, and salmonella risks. They subject Peeps to rigorous scientific testing to determine their reaction to heat, cold, acidic immersion, and low-pressure environments.
Copious photos document every stage of the experiments.
The study on the effect of tobacco and alcohol on Peep health is not to be missed. The Jewish Post of New York has a fun page introducing Passover, the Jewish holiday of freedom. A woman named Juelie McLean has pictures of state flowers for all 50 states on her website. Besides the fact that they are state flowers, her renderings of the flowers are delicate and very well done and would look nice on any webpage or document. Hope your spring is shaping up to be wonderful.
