Thanks for pointing Casu Marzu out Udhay. Had never heard of it before.

For me, a similar list would be
1. Networking events.
2. Anything in this list .



Wow, that's quite a list at that link up there. :) I've had a few of 
them but not all. Cheers for a great New Year.

I read a sample chapter of this book as part of longreads and
really enjoyed it. I bought the book, but have not gotten to it yet.
