No subject escaped him, from James Joyce to horse breeding, backcountry life, culture. A.J. Liebling, his close friend and colleague, resented this. So one day Liebling is wandering around Sixth Avenue — it still had the elevated track — and there was a little taxidermy shop under the subway, and he goes in and finds a little set of bones. The owner says, “These are very interesting. They’re the bones of a young male opossum, which has a bone in its penis.” Liebling buys this collection of bones for six dollars and brings it over to the office wrapped up in a paper bag. Mitchell is typing. Liebling knocks on the door, comes in, unwraps the package, and puts it on the table. Mitchell looks at it and says, “Pecker bone of a young male opossum — anything you want to know about that?” Talk about Baader–Meinhof phenomenon, I followed these two links from my RSS reader withing five minutes, and they both reference Betteridge's law. https://kottke.org/20/02/was-the-worlds-oldest-person-a-fraud https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22357195 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines Servings: grains 6/6, fruit 3/4, vegetables 4/4, dairy 2/2, meat 2/3, nuts 0/0.5 Breakfast: an egg, banana, pineapple, tomato, cucumber Brunch: coffee Lunch: yogurt, apple, tomato Afternoon snack: bagel with cream cheese Dinner: Thai 126/80
