Okay, technically not my hometown, but rather that of my great-grandparents. I think more places should do something like this! I don’t have a problem with people wanting to eat meat. I do, however, think that we (society) depend on meat more than necessary. There are plenty of dietary sources of protein and iron these days, without needing it to come from meat. The benefits of lessening the amount of meat in one’s diet are plentiful, both in terms of personal health and of the environment.
Check out how awesome Ghent is with its vegetarian day!!

Saturday, June 12th, 2004Yeah, so that’s not an original title. But, it is no longer in use, and the “real men of genius” thing is too exclusive, so this will have to do.
Anyway, this is my new feature, in which I give a shoutout to my hero of the day.
The inventor of the paint roller.
This handy dealie makes it oh-so-easy to cover walls. In using a brush to trim the stinking walls, I really do not want to know how much fun it would be to paint large areas in that manner.
I salute you mr./mrs./miss/ms. paint roller inventor.
