[Weird thing of the day] Beware of Sam-I-Am

[Aaron Solomon Adelman]

Greetings.

Jewish date:  7 Tishri 5771.

Today’s quasi-holidays:  Felt Hat Day, Independence Day (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua).

Worthy causes of the day:  “DemocracyForAmerica.com » Stand with Patrick Leahy”, “Save Darfur Coalition:  Give just 60 seconds for Sudan”, and “Tell Congress: Don't extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Ancient brewers tapped antibiotic secrets”:  I do not make stuff like this up.  Nor could I.
• “New Poll Gauges Americans' General Knowledge Levels”:  We need to work on this.
• “Online appeal sets classical music free”:  Interesting idea.
• “Crested dinosaur pushes back dawn of feathers”

Today’s weird thing, inspired from discussing the ownership of a number of Dr. Seuss books yesterday, is “Green Eggs and Ham Sam i am Jesse Jackson”.  (I apologize for not including the video directly on this blog, but embedding was disabled.)  As a special bonus, there is also a recipe for Green Eggs and Ham Recipe, in which the green color is due to scallions and spinach.  Enjoy and share the weirdness.

Aaron
