Hmmm... I wonder how you make these.  I know some people who I'd like to
send them too... <grin>

Just kidding, of course!

It was the headline that threw me... I always find reports of deadly health food very slightly amusing, even though it's awful that people have died.

Though the subject line did make me think of an old joke from a friend of
mine:

Question:  How do you kill someone with a Nerf ball?

Answer:  Tie them up and hit them over the head with it until they starve.

<ba-dum-bum!>  Thank you, thank you!  I'll be here all week!

GROAN. You and William should do an act or something. ;)

Re: Tampopo
I remember that the director, Juzoh Itami committed suicide when a local tabloid revealed he was having an affair, but don't remember when. Does anyone know how long ago that happened?
