I learned two interesting facts today. First, apparently the Institute of Medicine thinks we should all be pissing our brains out, with their recommendation that everyone drink nearly a gallon of water every day.

Second, the English eat some really weird shit. Literally. I looked up the definition of ‘bloaters’, which is a lightly salted, lightly smoked, UNGUTTED herring, with a ‘gamier’ flavor than the more heavily smoked kippers, which also don’t contain fish shit.
