Norma told us about this  article:
 
<<Because we talk  about measuring colostrum in terms of teaspoonsful, I
was quite  concerned  to read this article in the  BMJ:
http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/331/7531/1498>>


 
*****************************************
 
This was hysterical!  Thank  you for such a funny read!
 
My favorite quote out of the  article:
 
"Somewhere in the cosmos, along with all the  planets inhabited by humanoids, 
reptiloids, walking treeoids, and  superintelligent shades of the colour 
blue, a planet is entirely  given over to spoon life-forms. Unattended spoons make 
their way to  this planet, slipping away through space to a world where they 
enjoy  a uniquely spoonoid lifestyle, responding to highly spoon oriented  
stimuli, and generally leading the spoon equivalent of the good  life._4_ 
(http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/331/7531/1498#REF4)  "
 
 
Then the best one from one of the letters, on the mutation  of socks:
 
 
<<In a highly classified, and so far unpublished study I determined  that 
socks are the larval stage of the common wire coat hanger. When  temperatures and 
humidly are exactly right sock larvae crawl into the far  recesses of washing 
machines to pupate emerging as fully formed, but still  pliable hangers 
(bodies fully expand and harden instantly on exposure to  sunlight) some 36 hours 
later. This timing ensures they will have the cover of  darkness when they 
leave the machines to seek mates. Probably to maximise  survival each sock twin 
seems to require slightly different conditions for  initiation of metamorphosis 
which is why both socks of a pair rarely 'vanish' on  the same day. As adults 
can only mate while hanging by their hook shaped tails,  closets and wardrobes 
are their favoured habitat.

OK -- now back to your regularly  scheduled programming.....
