"I don't want to say people shouldn't be eating raw vegetables, but everything in moderation-even things that are good for us. This probably wouldn't have happened if the vegetables were cooked."
-NYU physician Dr. Michael Chu, who last year treated a patient with myxedema coma, "a life-threatening condition caused by extreme hypothyroidism, or low thyroid function," that had been brought about by the glucosinolates in all the bok choy she was eating to battle her diabetes.

Welcome to 'Happy Day' at The Awl - in which you need a fucking cocktail by 1:15pm.
Commenters Bawl? Let's just go with the atmospherics and rebrand it "Commenters Mass-Wrist-Slitting. With Awls." Yeah, that's about right.
Feel good blog of the year.
@ArtYucko: jolie can make the cyanide-laced Pink Panty Pulldown Punch, and I'll bring the purple fabric triangles for everyone; you bring the BK Knights and matching track-suits.
do we shave genitals as well as our heads? We might have to get sexy with the aliens when they come to pick us up.
I'm shedding my container like high school French.
only if you're going to bedazzle them.
I'll die by sunscreen, thanks.
This is where bok choy gets its name, which in translation means "green assassin."
When I was in law school, a buddy of mine was in a band that would play sometimes at the Sidewalk. Occasionally, a dude who was ostensibly already a lawyer would also play there. His "hit" was called "Bok Choy." I guess I never appreciated the full depravity of that song until now...
I can't wait until TGIFriday's comes up with the final solution for all of this misery: The PuPu-Style Oil-Spill Shrimp Platter(TM).
Served with 5 Long Island Iced Teas, which you drink like your Bro just iced you. Then stick a shrimp on your skewer. Heat it up over the sterno. Petroleum-saturated Gulf shrimp explodes in your face. You're so saturated with cheap alcohol, you also catch fire and immolate on premises. Polo-shirted TGIF server sweeps your ashes up and dumps them into the ocean. I don't know what this will do to help the environment, but hey! We can call it a Green solution, right?
Not bad, but I think it needs some deep-fried bok choy as a side dish.
I went to TGIFri with some college people and one was a vegetarian. The only meatless foods available were fried. (This includes salads.)
