I Can Not Believe That Story About Pig Wings In Today's Dining Section
"Appert’s gets the fibulas from a plant in Sioux City, Iowa, that separates them from the rest of the shank and cuts some of them into two-ounce portions, using a saw developed by Mr. File. Appert’s workers tumble 2,000-pound batches in a paddle mixer that helps force a marinade of water, salt and 'natural pork flavorings' into the meat." READ MORE
Sometimes German People Eat People, Too, Y'know
"I think it would be mistaken to conclude from these bone finds that this was cannibalism or has some cultural background. In Germany too, corpses are dilettantishly discarded, that doesn't just happened in the Second or Third Worlds." READ MORE

Important Medical Advancement Also Totally Disgusting
"There's little doubt this treatment has an image problem. Feces, including important bowel flora, is transferred from a volunteer donor—screened to limit possible other infections—into the colon of the infected patient.

Your Local Gym Is A Lot Like A Guano-Filled Batcave
"White nose syndrome grows on bats' skin during the winter and irritates them, rousing them from hibernation. Not used to being awake when it is so cold, the bats burn so much energy trying to stay warm that they deplete their fat reserves, and eventually become too weak to fly or catch food." READ MORE
Types Of Hummus Exist That You May Have Wished You Didn't Know About
"In 2000, Holy Land introduced hummus flecked with jalapeño. More recently, the company, which makes about 100,000 plastic tubs of hummus each month for the Midwest market, rolled out guacamole-flavored hummus. By August, its blend of hummus and peanut butter will hit the shelves. 'That one is for my daughter, Noor,' Mr. Wadi said. 'She didn't think she liked hummus. Then we stirred in peanut butter.' Other companies are also taking liberties with hummus. In Somersworth, N.H., the Crazy Camel company makes six varieties of dessert hummus, including a blend of chickpeas and cocoa it calls chocolate mousse hummus. In North Carolina, Good Health Natural Foods of Greensboro makes Humbles baked hummus chips in four flavors, including one with feta." READ MORE
This Newest Wrinkle In The Contaminated Tylenol Story Is Not Helping Me Feel Better
Here are a few things that the FDA found while checking out the Pennsylvania plant that produces the liquid versions of children's Tylenol, Benadryl, and Zyrtec — all of which were recalled last week by manufacturer McNeil Consumer Healthcare: "Thick dust and grime covering certain equipment"! "A hole in the ceiling"! "Duct tape-covered pipes"! Also, "raw ingredients contaminated by an unspecified bacteria" and, perhaps most importantly, corporate knowledge of many of these conditions. Yum. Production at the suburban Philadelphia plant has been suspended while the cleaning crews get called in, which is probably for the best since the facility also makes adult-appropriate products. But there's a bright side, at least: "The latest recalls of children's Tylenol probably means there's just less upside to J&J's earnings estimates," one financial analyst told Reuters, which helpfully noted that McNeil's parent Johnson & Johnson rakes in about $62 billion in sales a year. But wait, does less "upside" mean less money for fixing pipes? So many questions!
Blackberry: Now Making Interpersonal Communication Even More Difficult
"I was with a bunch of hot girls and we would just walk into bars, whip out our BlackBerries and try to get guys to look at them by flirting... We'd say, ‘Put your number in my phone and I'll totally call you. We'll go out on a date!' But we just wanted them to try the BlackBerry. I definitely didn't call anyone." READ MORE
Dakota Fanning's Eyes Have Seen Many Things
Man, I am so the embarrassed emoticon in the face right now because this Dakota Fanning Teen Vogue shoot makes me feel spectacularly gonzo in the crotch. I KNOOOOOW. I'm SORRY but I CAN'T HELP IT because I don't think it even matters if you're a dirty old man or not because her freakshow precocious eyes accuse you of thinking things and then forgives you and the whole thing makes me feel filthy.
