Quest for Fire. Somehow it got several awards, and an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I watched it once when I noticed there was a copy at the Blockbuster near my house. Possibly the most tedious movie I have ever seen.

In middle school a kid in my class was busted for having a water bottle full of vodka. I don't know where he got it- he claimed he'd mixed up his grandma's with his own, but knowing him he was the type to test boundaries. I don't think he intended to actually drink it, just to see… Read More

Even heirloom varieties have had some form of modification to make them more palatable. Corn in its original form was nearly inedible, tomatoes were completely different, and several groups of vegetables (particularly brassicas, which were developed from wild mustards) were developed… Read More
