Fiddler's Green now has a piper

Bill Millen, the piper of the Normandy invasion, has stepped into the clearing at the end of the path. I suspect, as apparently did Lord Lovatt, that the restriction on pipes in combat was less about the risk of attracting enemy fire than it was to coddle the tender sensibilities of the Sassenach, who have painful ancestral memories of the pipes *facing* them in battle. Those poor Germans didn't stand a chance.

Móran taing, agus beannachd leibh.

I demand a recount!

Researchers claim it is possible to tire of chocolate.

Utter horse-hocky. For one thing, these "researchers", clearly in the pay of the food nanny/anti-chocolate cabal, think it's perfectly reasonable to compare eating one pill (with tomato extract) with eating more than one Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bar per day. For one thing, that's pretty meh chocolate. For another, true chocoholics prefer to mix it up a bit. Of *course* the study participants preferred one tasteless pill per day (low calorie) to a pretty sizable chunk of chocolate (more like 260 calories).

For a true scientific study, they should have forced people to chose between the mounds of chocolate bars and eating five store-bought styrofoam-textured tomatoes per day. These people are rank amateurs.

Now the Haggis Tolerance Test, that was good science!

N.B. The use of the term "Sassenach" is a pejorative Gaelic term for the English, aka Crazy Limeys. It appears haggis only has beneficial cholesterol-lowering properties for Scots. So there's no point in force-feeding haggis to Brits, it just wastes a good haggis. And annoys the Brit.

Seattle Parking cops do not discriminate

It doesn't matter if you are dead -- if you are parked 3 hours in a 2 hour parking zone, you get a ticket! No special treatment for the metabolically-challenged! I would also like to point out that the Meter Maid Brigade failed to notice the dead driver not just once, but *twice*. Even after knocking on the window to point out the ticket, our Highly Trained and Observant Parking Enforcement Official just assumed our room-temperature friend "was a sound sleeper." Well, yes. Yes he was. Notice the past tense.

I wonder if the guy's estate will have to pay the ticket? Priorities, people!
