So I just got in from a big trip to the supermarket, and I'm settling in with my bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos, and this is the first thing I read. Thanks, Srboisvert. The night is complete.

The fact that this makes a whole segment of scientists happy, makes me equally as happy.

Makes me wonder if my drunken "accident" from a couple of weeks ago will turn into a scientific exhibit one day.

It's interesting though... I didn't think that vomit fossilizes, Maybe I just never thought about it enough to think otherwise.

How disappointing. I thought this might be a George Bush thread.

I heard 7-Up or Sprite helps the stomach in times like these...

Modern sperm whales regurgitate the gristly beaks of squid.

post-modern sperm whales find the gristle an unsatisfactory allusion to mollusk utopianism.

Speaking of copious amounts of vomit: Happy Mardi Gras everyone!
