Omnivorous posting

September 04, 2008 By: Mai Truong Category: Opinions

This seems like a cop-out first post after several days of inactivity (due to my main profession of doing homework and all), but I just can’t resist. Very Good Taste (via Sean Carroll‘s post on Cosmic Variance) has a list of food items, plus the following instructions:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
