He's got tuna in the stomach, which is such a splendid touch. We did replace the arms - which in the original recipe where made with gherkins - with the far more sensible sausages you see in the picture though.
(The source is Roald Dahl's Book of Revolting Recipes.)

Giovanni -please send a copy of your book urgently to my niece Maryanne. Her aspie son will eat certain vegetables (potato chips & crisps spring immediately to mind, as does tomato sauce) but nothing at all that is green. We try to fight off the incipient scurvey with vit. C but think he has rumbled us. Do not bother with crocodile - we know where to obtain one.
I should clarify however that I meant this particular crocodile.

By the way David, maybe you're not in the pocket of big oil, but when McKitrick (who's an economist by trade) spoke to the senate commission on global warming he was sponsored by these guys.

Heres the paper.
Since by your own admission you're an "intrigued New Zealander", could you also give us the source for the claim that this paper disproves the theory that CO2 is responsible for global warming? There is no single mention of CO2 or carbon or dioxide in the paper itself, nor is such a conclusion spelt out in the abstract.

McKitrick, McIntyre and Herman et al 2010.
Who collectively give me the grand total of one Google result - this one. Since apparently they disprove nothing less than the CO2 theory of global warming, I'd expect a little more. Could you guide us to this paper in any way? Does it have a title?

The theory that CO2 mixing with water vapour creates positive feedback and hence is amplified creating heat in hot spots and hence temp rises has now been proved to be incorrect in a Peer Reviewed Research paper.
This is not to say there isnt warming as clearly there is. Its just not being caused by CO2.Says man with Internet connection who won't so much as provide a link to the paper behind this claim.

I'm about to read DeLillo's "Libra," which I'm also told is very, very good, so I'll provisionally recommend that; Gio will likely a) say it is good and b) chastise me for not having read it yet
I will gladly do both of those things, if only to stay true to my image of curmudgeonly postmodernist. Falling Man is also good.

I have also overtly expressed parental guidance on the odd occasion, mostly involving the placing of children in life threatening situations.
You'll love my new book, 'Eat Your Greens Right Now, Young Man,
or Daddy Shall Release the Crocodile'. -
Go back to your fancy talking-not-in-circles about things-that-aren't-ever-so-slightly-ludicrous then. See if I care.

she said Canada was a very racist country under the surface, but in NZ it was kosher to be racist and out.
Except if you followed hockey forums at all you'd know it's pretty kosher to be racist and out in Canada as well. In fact its gets nicely blended in with the machismo, so Europeans are soft, Russians are soft *and* mercenary, and so forth.
