These are some interesting articles I found today:

1.For the ice cream lover:Ice cream flavors from Japan, spinach, garlic, tomato, seaweed, oyster, red wine, goat, chicken, lettuce, potato, wheat, shark fin, and something called RAW HORSE FLESH. This would explain why they always seem angry when speaking in their native language.

2.This one is for the coffee lover: There's an ultaexpensive coffee called Kopi Luwak which is derived from beans that have been eaten and excreted by civet cats in Indonesia. Now there's a journey the beans take through the civet's body. First, the civet instinctively chooses the ripest beans. Then digestive biochemicals penetrate the outer layer of the bean as it passes through the GI tract. Internal fermentation by digestive enzymes adds a unique flavor, a earthy, musty, smooth and rich with jungle and chocolate undertones. Now what does a jungle undertone?

3.A surgeon whose medical license was revoked in 1977, but who continued to practice on the dark side, was convicted of second-degree murder for a botched operation that brought to light the rare malady of apotemnophilla. Those inflicted-there are fewer than 200 people worldwide-get sexual gratification by having an arm or leg removed. This is sad-they only get gratified four times.

Strange things happen everyday.

that coffee is oprah's favorite-just thought i would share. i think she said one cup costs her either $250 or $2500-big difference but either cost is too much
