A Holiday Theme

In honor of me taking the American Thanksgiving off, I thought I would post some interesting links I read today.

Here's a great one about blowing the myth of the first Thanksgiving all to hell:

Imagine! 400 years later the story has been slightly corrupted! Never would have guessed that could happen. Especially love the quote from the man named Fortunate Eagle near the end. Priceless!

And here's one that explains that sleepy feeling you get after the big Turkey feeds, not what you might think!

Let's here it for gluttonly! Pass the turkey!

Some quick links for Nov.

Pretty sure this wouldn't raise an eyebrow up hereis Canada, but I could be wrong:

If you read this as a sarcastic POV it is much better, I hope that was the intention, because it might make me kind of stabby otherwise.

Do we really need to deconstruct and retcon Sesame Street? Was anyone REALLY influenced by the gluttony of the Cookie Monster? I remember it being funny, and funny to do the impression, but noone I knew actually looked at it as a good idea to eat nothing but cookies in copious amounts. Perhaps that's because we were raised in a simpler time where the TV wasn't a babysitter and the sole purveyor of knowlege to kids.

Or perhaps I read too much into it. It's been know to happen.
