Nuclear Gastronomy

My Aussie friend, David Morgen-Mar writes a daily web comic using photographed Lego layouts called Irregular Webcomic. He is an incorrigible punster and the many converging and diverging story lines are wonderful to behold.

I must have missed this one back in March, but DMM has coined a new term: “Nuclear Gastronomy” (he was riffing on molecular gastronomy, but claims to be the originator on this one).

Here’s a sample of what nuclear gastronomy involves:

Chocolate Chip Gold Vein Cookies

Cream 1 cup of sugar with 250 grams of butter. Add 2 eggs and a teaspoon of baking soda. Add a splash of vanilla extract and a drop of mercury-196. Mix in 2 cups of flour to form a soft dough, and a cup of chocolate chips. Bake in a slow neutron source for at least 8 hours to convert all the mercury into gold. The gold will appear as attractive shiny flecks through the cookies, and since it is inert these will be safely edible. Warning: Do not use other isotopes of mercury, as they will produce unstable gold isotopes which can decay into highly toxic thallium!

Oh, any by the way, the comic strip is really funny, too!

Silly Booth cartoon from the New Yorker

Booth is one of the funniest cartoonest the New Yorker has ever had. This one appeared recently and just tickled me silly.

booth cartoon: The Queen is somewhere in the snuggery!

Booth cartoons are always the best, always a treat. He has recurring themes, like mangy dogs and cats, silly ordinary everyday people doing grandiose things to make their lives seem more important and exciting.
