The Sydney Morning Herald is running an interesting story about research on lab-grown meat. The first sentence is what caught my eye: "It's possibly the vegetarian's dream, and the meat-eater's worst nightmare: flesh grown in a Petri dish for human consumption." You know, as a carnivore I don't think I'd have any problem with this. I don't eat meat because I like killing animals; I eat it because I like the taste and texture. If I could get that without hurting anything, so much the better. (Truth be told, unless we're going out I find myself getting more and more bored with food. It's this new impatience I have with maintenance. It just annoys me that in 2003 we still have to spend over a third of each day sleeping and eating and washing and evacuating wastes. Shouldn't science have fixed that already? Screw the lab-grown fillet mignon; I'll have mine as a pellet, thank you very much.)

This is where my weblog goes to die. Every post has a permanent home, so this is where you should link if you're so inclined.

"RunningBlog" refers to posts related to running that are cross-posted over at geekgirlrunner.

"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.

"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
