andrewducker's from a while back), it's mildly interesting that I seem to digest raw beets in full, but cooked beets produce that alarming bloody turd look. I wonder what happens if you eat beet and asparagus at the same meal? Probably a good thing they have different seasons...
Also, Mencken's well-known quote "For every human problem there is a solution - simple, convincing, and wrong" appears to have first seen print in the form "...there is always a well-known solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong", in Prejudices: Second Series - the essay titled The Divine Afflatus. However, he was given to cannibalising his own writing, and I'm fairly sure I've seen it in the better form in a book published in his lifetime. Hmm.
