Chocococolate!
M'lady Silver
From the very funny book _The Junk Food Companion_ by Eric Spitznagel.
*************
* The scientific name for cacao beans (the primary ingredient in
chocolate)
is "Thebroma cacao," which literally translated means "food of the
gods."
* The Aztecs believed that chocolate could make those who drank it
deranged.
* They're absolutely correct.
* A single chocolate chip provides sufficient food energy for an adult
to
walk 150 feet.
* It would take 875,000 chocolate chips for an adult to walk around
the
world
* Cars and planes are a far more convenient means of travel than
chocolate.
* Fans of baseball player Henry Rodriguez (of the Los Angeles Dodgers)
like
to shower the player with Oh Henry! candy bars every time he hits a
home
run.
* Fans of movie actress Barbara Hershey have never showered the
actress
with
Hershey chocolate bars.
* Chocolate syrup was used for blood in the famous shower scene in
Alfred
Hitchcock's 1960 film "Psycho."
* In a blatant case of false advertising, the 1977 film "Looking for
Mr.
Goodbar" had nothing to do with the candy bar by the same name.
* Hershey Park, a chocolate theme park in Pennsylvania, scrapped plans
for
a
hot fudge flume ride after an ant farm invaded the research and
development
department.
* According to comedienne Rosie O'Donnell, the staples of chocolate
dining
are Ring Dings, Yoodles, Swiss Rolls, and Devil Dogs.
* O'Donnell once claimed she has an IV drop of Yoo-Hoos.
* Americans eat 2.8 billion pounds of chocolate annually (12 pounds
per
person), nearly half the world's supply.
* According to Iowa law, it is illegal to give a box of candy as a
romantic
gift unless it weighs more than fifty pounds.
* The world's largest Hershey's Kiss, created in 1987 as part of a
Hong
Kong
marketing promotion, was thirty inches tall and weighed over four
hundred
pounds.
* Chocolate can be lethal to dogs. About two ounces of milk chocolate
can
kill a 10-pound puppy.
* A 1987 government survey revealed that 87 percent of Republican
congressmen love chocolate, while only 80 percent of Democrats
considered
themselves chocoholics.
* Experiments conducted at the University of Pennsylvania found that
the
consumption of chocolate has no effect on acne.
* In 1997 a U.S. marshal shot a New York teenager for eating a 3
Musketeers
candy bar. The marshal allegedly thought the candy was a gun.
* A 1990 exhibit at the California Museum of Science and Industry
featured
a
bust of Albert Einstein made entirely of chocolate.
* Einstein, although a genius in every other way, was not especially
fond
of
chocolate.
* At a 1988 conference on chocolate at Hofstra University, lecture
topics
included "Inside the Pastilles of the Marquis de Sade" and "Has
Modernism
Failed the Chocolate Box?"
* When a chocolate cargo truck crashed in Shelby, North Carolina, in
1993,
sand was put on the highway to stop motorists from licking the
pavement.
* Liz Paul, a British researcher, developed a chocolate patch (similar
to
the nicotine patch) in 1997 that she claimed would cure people from
craving
chocolate.
* Liz Paul is very likely the Antichrist.
* Napoleon carried chocoate with him on his military campaigns, eating
it
when he needed quick energy.
* During Napoleon's disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812, the emperor
forced his army to march on foot more than 500 miles from Poland to
Moscow,
which required approximately 17,600 chocolate chips.
* Neither M&Ms nor Junior Mints are covered in shellac.
* Although the Baby Ruth candy bar was not named for baseball
hall-of-famer
Babe Ruth, the tubby slugger was eventually immortalized with not one
but
two mediocre candy bars: The Bambino and the Big Champ.

Of course he was. E=MC^2. Only a few cognoscenti know that C actually
stood for chocolate. If it's not the ultimate source of energy, How

I've been there several times, but the last trip was about 12 years ago.
It's your typical theme park, but with chocolate.:-) And the tour smells
WONDERFUL!
To add something that's also related to another thread, my mom got Hershey

Tsk, tsk, Heather. Many people worship Chocolate without
becoming disciples of the Goddess thereof.

Also, if you've ever worked with 'stage blood' (and considering the
time of year, you may be considering it) ... it only looks real if
it's pouring in a nice thick stream. Bump into anything and thin it
out and it looks like pink paint/dye. I expect that chocolate sauce
would smear in a *much* more realistic fashion.
BTW makeup artists that I've talked to mix their own 'stage blood'.

You are as bad as my wife!! Before I met her, she was sitting at a table
having lunch with a friend (in high school). I was describing to my friend
that my dad had made made a wonderful grasshopper pie, how rich it was, and
how the richness made it difficult, but not impossible, to eat. She envisioned
pate de grasshopper with legs sticking out, not a thick chococolate crumb
crust, a delicious creme de menthe based filling, covered with a creme de
cacao topping. It is still a smile provoking topic to this day.
No recipe available, dad died two years ago.

There already *are*. ISTR that during the trial, it was revealed that
Fluffy was his own evil twin, as well as being the original.

Steak Tartare, prepared by a good chef, is fantastic. Prepared by
a bad chef and I'd rather eat Fugu. Short pig(actual pigs) must be
properly cooked or you'll be as dead as the pig. Long pig is too much
trouble. All those police and lawyers and judges and such....there
are easier ways to get a meal.....(Brass Squirrel recommends a
skateboard and commando strikes on people coming out of fast food
joints with bags......)

actually, the chances of getting nasty worm type infections are fairly
low with modern pork production methods....the big problem is that
rats also carry trichinosis, and pigs are not fussy...they will eat
anything that won't eat them first...long term freezing or certain
marinades will also destroy the infective cysts.
Several of the cases of trichinosis that I am aware of were linked
with eating fresh bear meat that wasn't fully cooked.

Chortle! That was one of my guesses when I first ran across that
acronym! I wish I could remember all of my WAG's, you'd get a
real laugh out of some of them.
It's related to OTB - another disorder I suffer gladly.

Nope. Obsessive Tull Behavior. The obsessive *need* to get

since who knows how much longer the band will be able to tour!

He *looked* great, but the part was something he could have done in his
sleep. No character development whatsoever. Feh! At least he got
second billing. Michael Douglas is looking more and more like his dad
all the time. At least he *sounds* better than his dad!

Uh, wha? Quit buying books?!?!?!?! Impossible! You might as

Just picked up Lifeblood by P.N. Elrod on ebay for $2.92 plus
shipping! That's the only one in the Vampire Files series that I
didn't have.
And I'm bidding on a publisher's proof of Sharpe's Fortress.
It's getting a bit pricey though.

<whimper in sympathy> My boss and I were in an arthritis study
several years ago and were given lists of foods we Could Not Eat
for 8 weeks. We both immediately checked to see if
chococococolate was on the list. It wasn't. We stayed in the
study.

Well, *if* I get a dress, it'll be a nice long one -- then I can wear
knee-hi hose. (As a rule, dresses are *only* worn for occasions like
husband's office parties, weddings and funerals -- except for winter
funerals, which definitely call for slacks in MN if you plan on going to
the cemetary.)
Something tells me that *some* of our fellow attendees will be very
nicely dressed. Then of course there's the ones who will be dressed in
Rifle green!!

Ever since I had my gallbladder surgery, pantyhose is Not
Comfortable so I avoid it at all costs.

Your diligence is much appreciated. My local used book store
hasn't had *any* in for several weeks.

One of the nicest things about living in CA is that I can get away with
going bare-legged all year long! *G* Too bad my mom will make me wear hose
for the wedding!

Thank you!
I think the book I'm reading has affected my sense of punning.
(I would have said "stimulated" but I didn't want to get buried
by kinkies!) "Pyramid Scheme" by Dave Freer & Eric Flint. Two
of the main characters spend a lot of time trading Really Bad
Puns.
Reminded me of here!!
I'm not much of an Eric Flint fan - he's usually too dark (if
that's the right word) for me. But this was a FUN book.
