11 Best Foods You Aren't Eating.
Really long NYT article with technical lingo on what foods we should be eating for better health. To save you time, I've condensed the list. Presented without further editorial comment:
1. Motherfuckin' beets.
2. Cabbage.
3. Swiss chard: They protect the Pope and are also green and leafy.
4. Cinnamon: Sometimes spelled cinammon.
5. Pomegranate juice: A type of juice.
6. Dried Plums. The food previously known as pruny prune-faced prune fruit.
7. Pumpkin seeds: These are packed with magnesium. Also available in .44 hollow point.
8. Sardines: Mash them up, use as a spread or as figurines.
9. Turmeric: Sounds like tumor. Don't think about that.
10. Frozen blueberries: a.k.a. "tundra testicles"
11. Canned Pumpkin: i see the big-assed can, but where da seeds at?
In a story tailor-made for Monkeyfilter
a 42-year-old chimpanzee, who eats with a knife and fork but also occasionally bites bits off people, has gone missing in a southern California forest after escaping from his cage.
The owner is the same guy who was hideously mauled a few years ago while bringing the same Chimp a birthday cake (it wasn't the same ape that attacked him).

Digging a hole to China?
Use the Map Tunneling Tool to figure out where you'd really end up if you dug a hole through the Earth's core.
Apparently, I'd come out somewhere off the southwest coast of Australia. Antipodean Monkeys, keep watching the waters!
