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.

  14. Throughout the awesome design of things you get an A+ just for effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually lost me was first in all the particulars. You know, as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be more accurate at this point. Having said that, permit me reveal to you just what did deliver the results. The text can be very convincing which is most likely why I am making the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, although I can certainly see a leaps in logic you make, I am not sure of exactly how you appear to unite the ideas that make the actual conclusion. For right now I shall yield to your issue but wish in the near future you connect the facts better.
