As I was drinking chocolate milk last week, my cousin asked me (with a disgusted expression) if I knew that chocolate milk was made with milk that has cows blood in it. I told her it wasn't true, but today as I was drinking some chocolate milk I had to make sure.

(The belief that cow's blood is to be scrupulously avoided at all costs is suspended in our dealings with meat products. No one recoils in horror at the thought that a steak or a hamburger contains cow's blood -- our beef with ingesting blood apparently stops at the fork.)

In the U.S.A., the Food and Drug Administration oversees the safety of food products. Stringent standards have been established for all milk destined for consumers, including the chocolate variety. It is telling that this agency's specifications contain no allowances for the use of blood-contaminated milk. Milk products (and other foodstuffs) that do not meet the agency's criteria do not gain FDA approval and thus cannot be sold to consumers.

In other words, the "cow's blood in the chocolate milk" story doesn't fly any better than a cow would.

This website matches your features with those of "celebrities" and tells you which celebrity you most look like. I wanted to see who Ralphie looked like. I uploaded this picture:

The program couldn't recognize poor ralphies face, so I outlined his features:

I really thought this would work... Pardeep woke Ralphie up so he could see what famous person he most resembles. We were all quite disappointed to see that there were no matches :-(

I decided to do the work on my own...

53% George Clooney

67% Harrison Ford

100% Ralph Wiggum

I think Ralphie was pleased with the results.

One of the funniest things I've heard a patient say (in Punjabi):

Do whatever you think is best, but my teeth should stay in my mouth.

Anyone else find that funny?
