No sleep 'till DMOZ (- a sorry tale of abuse) (Jan 23 2005 23:59 GMT) - Yep, that look at Yahoo! by Danny Sullivan at SearchEngineWatch back in '97 is something that I wish more DMOZ editors were aware of.

Getting high on ramen noodles (Jan 23 2005 23:58 GMT) - I wonder if it's possible to get high on ramen noodles. There's this one brand of ramen noodles that I really like, and if you add half a teaspoon of extra hot chili powder, they give you that elated, somewhat euphoric feeling that makes me wonder how much of the stuff you'd have to eat to get really high. It probably has to do with the high concentration of MSG present in the soup. For some reason, MSG seems to trick the tastebuds into believing that things taste much better than they actually do. Nobody has quite found out how it works, but if you ever wondered why you can't stop eating Pringle's even though they taste really vile if you think about it, it's all the MSG in them that does that trick. |
