Thieves with 'sticky fingers' - literally
Thieves broke into a warehouse and stole... wait for it... maple syrup!
(I suspect Super Troopers had something to do with the crime.)
Food festivals
These international food festivals have me licking my chops, and re-writing my bucket list... well... except the bug-eating one.
Bad news for wine lovers
New research suggests that the blood pressure reducing effects of red wine only work if the wine is non-alcoholic. I should note that the study involved only a few dozen men, so the findings are not exactly conclusive proof in either direction.
Either way... Thank goodness I have the low blood pressure of a lifelong runner. Cheers!

A sticky (and sad) situation
Sadly, tar balls from the Deepwater Horizon disaster are still washing up on Gulf Coast beaches.
Yes, folks, I've had my fair share of run-ins with tar balls. (It sticks more tenaciously than tree sap.) No, the oil did not disappear. Gulf Coast beaches are still gorgeous to look at, but the environmental damage from that oil spill is still very real.
Faster than a speeding VP!
Surely you've heard by now that Paul Ryan lied about (ahem "mis-remembered") his marathon time. Regardless of your place on the political spectrum, Nitmos' satire of Ryan's math is knee-slappingly funny.
Quote of the week:
"You have to forget your last marathon before you try another. Your mind can't know what's coming."
Frank Shorter
Happy Friday, friends!
