  1. They are named Pilobolus, not Pilobus and they are amazing.

  2. Thank, Melody. I’ll fix that.

  3. Top 10 Stinky Cheeses: Camembert, Roquefort, Stilton, Brie? These are wonderful cheeses. I, for one, will keep buying and eating them.

    I’ll pass on the Limburger, though.

  4. Bon is at the Olympics. I see lot’s of people (mainly camermen) wearing jackets with BOB and a number on the back.
