Hiya Michael

 BG> Some really taste bad.  Apple seeds contain high amounts of arsenic.
 ML> Cyanide, actually.
 BG> I knew it was something bad for you.

 ML> Just Googled "arsenic in apple seeds" for sheets & giggles
 ML> and got an amazing 48600 hits, so this notion has quite a
 ML> bit of legs.
 
 See there I wouldn't make something up without first checking 
 it's validity.  Don't want to end up on Snopes you know.

 ML> Interestingly, the search "cyanide in apple seeds" yields
 ML> only 25700 hits.
 ML> The Internet isn't necessarily all that friendly.
 
 It's the greatest diversion from reality since the invention 
 of television.  I know a couple people who rise in the morning 
 and sit down in front of the PC to spend the rest of the day 
 playing webiest.

 BG> Darn, that is a dangerous place Sacramento..  I was in school out
 BG> there for three weeks.  The company put me up in a motel right next to
 BG> some fancy natural foods yuppie place. As it was a few steps away, I
 BG> ate there in the evening.

 ML> Convenience at the expense of enjoyable food - big old
 ML> mistake there.
 
 I did learn an important fact in there.  Yuppy vegetation 
 centers have the best looking customers wearing the least 
 amount of covering.  That makes any food more enjoyable.

 ML> After several days of doing that I learned
 BG> the bean sprouts get tangled up around tofu and cause a terrible jam
 BG> up in the intestinal track.

 ML> I'm not prone to that: any vegetable matter ingested by me
 ML> is immediately rejected and goes down the chute with great
 ML> rapidity. Still, I think I would never go to a fancy natural
 ML> foods yuppie place just because it was in easy walking distance.
 
 Right on the other side of the driveway close.  Then with another
 student lost in Californica, we made a hasty trip over the hill 
 to Lake Tahoe, where the Californica/Nevada border line was painted 
 on the side of Harrahs. 
 
 Usually when I had to travel on the company's dime, I returned 
 with a few extra bucks in my pocket.  On that one my charge card
 took a few weeks to recoup my *investments* made there.

 ML> There are vegetarian (or at least vegetable) dishes that
 ML> are both good and good for you:
 
 I love veggies.  Am quite happy at the salad bar... 
 Just not into tofu..
