Vegemite! Mmmmmm?

There was a report recently that vegemite (a yeasty bitter Australian spreadable food) was being banned from the US, and that customs officials were confiscating it. According to this Snopes article it's not true. So go ahead, eat some vegemite!

It was noted in the article that vegemite is high in folate, also called vitamin B9. The daily recommended amount of B9 is 0.4 mg per day, and a serving of vegemite has 0.1 mg. But too much (more than 1.0 mg) is supposedly not so good for you, so the FDA limits which foods can have folate added to them (the added form of it is called folic acid). However, vegemite's folate occurs naturally, rather than being added, so it is not banned.

The wife of a football coach found a juvenile rat in her McD salad, and now the family is suing for 1.7 million. But that's not why I'm posting. clicky for article

The reason I'm posting is that an add on the same page was advertising some sort of sports 'zine, with the cover article, "crunch time!"

Dawntreader faire nightmare!

dawntreader90 has indicated (click here) that while she is sad not being at faire this weekend, she will sleep in til noon and wear sweats, and maybe dream about faire while wearing sweats!

Hmmmm...how would such a dream go? I'll start. Feel free to add a few lines!

It's a beautiful sunny day in Revel Grove as the day begings. There is a brass band playing in the background and thousands of people gathered outside the gates waiting for the King. The trumpets play Linus and Lucy as Dawntreader marches through the main gate along with the rest of the royal court. She gathers with the King and courtiers for photos, then realizes, she is still wearing her sweat pants!

*what happens next?*
