Best opening sentence ever:
"Fear of mad cow disease hasn't kept Cecelia Coan from eating her beloved deep-fried cow brain sandwiches."
This is Cecelia:

First Clown:
A pestilence on him for a mad rogue! 'a pour'd a flagon
of Rhenish on my head once. This same skull, sir, was, sir,
Yorick's skull, the King's jester.

Hamlet:
This? [Takes the deep-fried cow brain sandwich]


Jeez, i know this is not strictly on topic, but do you know how utterly (udderly?) weird the Mad Cow disease is? It's not a bacteria or even a virus that causes it, but a just a frickin' misfolded protein!! Shit I don't know!
"A prion is an infectious agent, composed entirely of protein, presumed to be the cause of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies."
"Prions are not destroyed even if the beef or material containing them is cooked or heat-treated. Prion proteins carry the disease between individuals and cause deterioration of the brain."

Ice-9 kinda weirdness!
