"Eat your heart out, Dracula - scientists turn blood into biscuits and chocolate."

I'm guessing that the "chocolate" tastes about as much like chocolate as carob does--i.e. it's brown and it's sweet and the only people who think it tastes like chocolate are people who don't like dark chocolate. But it is interesting to see the lengths food scientists will go to in order to turn waste products into something people will buy.

Pardon me, I'm going to go eat a cantaloupe made up of recognizable cantaloupe parts now.

There's some speculation in the certain quarters that the Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil was originally inspired by the Iboga tree, source of the powerful drug ibogaine, said to give you tremendous amount of moral clarity about the good and evil things you've done in your life. It has been used with some success by psychiatrists.

Eenteresting. I hadn't heard of that one before (or if I did, it slipped my mind). Thanks, Darth!
