I'm so glad I got a staff of not_honyakkers working full time to filter out all the garbage and only give me the news that counts. I got no time to read the newspaper so this really is a great service. Keep up the great work!
Regards, William Taylor ==UNQUOTE== At your service! Here at not_honyaku, we bypass that boring, always-the-same geopolitical news about Hamasia, Zionia, and Hesperopotamia and focus only on the news that's important for your life. Here we go... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/25/science/25birds.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss is about "forensic ornithologists" trying to determine the species of birds that forced an airplane to ditch in the Hudson River recently in New York City when they got sucked into the plane's engines. They are examining the DNA of the birds' "snarge", which is their word for pulverized bird guts. The Superbowl is coming up soon, and a favorite snack at Superbowl parties is chicken wings. But if you look at what is sold as "chicken wings", you'll find that it's not all wings. It's just undifferentiated chicken parts, or, as they say in the snack business, "chicken pre-snarge".
