TOPICAL TUESDAYS: READY SET...

... Current news stories about "Pink Piglets"

Eh, nothing in a couple weeks. Nov 6, a pig in Gloucester gave birth to "seven adorable pink piglets." Don't believe me? Look:



... Current news stories about "dreidels"

Ah! The SFBG has a step-by-step guide for making edible dreidels. Amazing.

"STEP-BY-STEP

Determined to make something, but don't know how? For Jews and Judeophiles, try making an incredible edible dreidel. All you need are Hershey's chocolate kisses, marshmallows, thin pretzel sticks, and peanut butter.

Step 1: Spread a generous amount of peanut butter on the end of a marshmallow. This peanut butter will act as a glue for the next step.

Step 2: Unwrap a kiss and attach it to the peanut butter–glazed side of the marshmallow. This will create the bottom of the dreidel — the part that allows it to spin.

Step 3: On the side of the marshmallow that has thus far remained untouched, take a pretzel stick and press it into the center ... "

That sounds positively delicious... and easy to make!

...Current news stories about "ink poisoning"

Hmm...not much. Nothing worth reporting... What about "arsenic poisoning"? Oh this is awful. Millions of people in Bangladesh are slowly being poisoned by naturally ocurring arsenic in rural wells.

Let's get happier.

... Current news stories about "brand new zoo"

Not much. I was hoping to find 10 articles about new zoos opening in the world. But nothing. I love zoos. Not the depressing zoos with suicidal tigers but the zoos that help endangered animals thrive in natural-like habitats.

Go Pandas!
