Cultural Indifferences

I would need Kannon's fingers to count how many times a party conversation has started with a question about the edibility of uncooked foodstuffs and whether the balance of two perpendicular sticks of equal length as a means to eat the aforementioned foodstuffs requires any real dexterity at all.

On the turntable: Thievery Corporation, "The Cosmic Game"
On the nighttable: J. Maarten Troost, "The Sex Lives of Cannibals" (Look, it's fiction, OK? Hilarious fiction at that)

OK, so it's not fiction. The fiction was in my fictitious statement that this travel book was fiction. Derri-la-di-da.
