You know, there are some things that are never not funny. Cows, for instance. Men getting hit in the groin with a football. The word “doorknob.” But for my money, ham tops the list. Not the ratings grabber that boobs are, but I would argue you could make just as many jokes about either and pull off a pretty decent standard of living as a comedy writer. (Not that I would know about that, of course.)
So, we close the week with Joe and Zara picking their way through the world of molecular gastrology, a subject I’ve found alternately fascinating and hilarious since I first learned about it. I’m a big fan of science, and there’s no bigger nerd on the planet than my wife, but I’d like to think we both know better than to go eating what comes out of a Mr. Universe Junior Chemistry Lab. Well, Andrea does, anyway.
A pleasant weekend to you! Get out there and see something other than Avatar, will you?

Ha ha ha.. .I used to work on a TV show and the boss that this idea for a prank… he said the ultimate prank of all time was to cut open a wall, hide a ham inside, patch the wall back up, wait for weeks to go buy. It will start out “hey, do you smell something” And then get so bad that people can barely be indoors. And the genius of it, according to this boss, was that who would ever think to open up the wall?
You’d think more building contractors would do this when the clients fuck with them. “Yeah, it’s the building inspector. Apparently where most people have fiberglass insulation you have rotting beef carcass.”
