Amusing Juxtapositions →[More:]Tonight it was eating a homemade calzone whilst listening to an episode of RadioLab on parasites. They opened the show with a detailed description of the chestburster scene from Alien ultimately relating it to our attitudes toward parasites. As this was playing out a pocket of cheese, sauce and chanterelles burst through the top of my 'zone.

Beyond that there is nothing quite like hearing about hook worm, blood flukes and parasitic wasps as you eat. Needless to say I cooked my calzone a couple of extra minutes.
