Incredibly cool infographic on Thanksgiving-related food searches from the NYT:
WTF? Searches for "deviled eggs" are more than twice as common in Indiana as Illinois? Crazy.
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was wondering, do other areas of the country have people putting kruggerands into the SA buckets at Christmastime? That's been a holiday tradition around here since the height of the anti-apartheid protests in the mid-80s. A few show up every season; one was already reported last week.

SA has an extremely fancy retreat facility in Rolling Hills estate - (on a cliff overlooking the ocean). So some of their money goes other places besides helping the poor.

What if it's the future, and you and some pointy-eared guy travel back into the past to fix the timeline - if you break into an SA building, will the manager of the facility give you jobs?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm waiting for our SA to wander into this thread and wonder just what we're talking about.

What I really want to know about the food search graphs are whether a low percentage of searches means that (a) people from those areas already know how to make pie crust or (b) people in those areas just don't eat pie. (Or butternut squash. Or cookies.)

Heh. There are some great graphics, though, like the one that shows sweet potato pie is totally a Southern thing. As is macaroni and cheese, apparently. Except for Nevada.
