George Orwell, in an essay which appears in the new collection, Facing Unpleasant Facts: Gazelles are almost the only animals that look good to eat when they are still alive, in fact, one can hardly look at their hindquarters without thinking of mint sauce.
From the archive, about a Ron Paul supporter: He wore a crisp dress shirt the color of mint ice cream and a color-coordinated tie, which made him look like an insurance claims adjustor.
From an online chat between Bernd-Jürgen Brandes (cator99) and Armin Meiwes (antrophagus): cator99: I’m in telecommunications antrophagus: Oh, that sounds interesting cator99: I believe you ... antrophagus: It’s only a few days until March 9 cator99: Still, I would have rather met you yesterday and felt your teeth antrophagus: One can’t have everything. There’s still some time before you really feel my teeth.
Nathan Myhrvold: I was describing this to a friend over lunch in Palo Alto. As I was describing this the waiter came up behind me to take our order. I was in the middle of saying "it's very hard to enter the rectum, but once you do things move much faster", only to hear the waiter gasp. Whoops. I tried to explain saying "well, this is about" but with a horrified look he said "I do NOT want to know what this is about!" Some people are just not interested in natural history, I guess.
