We’ll dine in tonight: Fly in the Soup (https://www.flyinthesoup.com) gives a voice to the wait staff. Especially interesting is what gets into the food accidentally or on purpose. Question any dish with raisins.

I’ll stick with Reese’s: It’s that time of year, when the candy you don’t like starts festering at the bottom of the Halloween bowl. The Ultimate Bad Candy page. (https://www

.videogamenews.net

Future shock: Make the perfect baby--as long as you have the cash--at GenoChoice (https://www.genochoice.com). It’s the ultimate e-commerce site of the not-so-distant future.

better.

Why bodyguards are a growth industry: If you really, really, really can’t get enough of your favorite celeb, try the Obsessive Fan Sites page (https://countingdown.com/fans). This is your brain; this is your brain on David Duchovny.
