Why is it that anything put in a tumble dryer along with a duvet cover will end up inside the duvet cover, but that doesn’t happen in the washing machine?
Doctorate in Chocolate
Scientists and chocolate fans are being given the chance to indulge their sweet tooth by becoming a doctor of chocolate at Cambridge University.
A researcher is being sought for a PhD on chocolate by the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.
The challenge is to stop chocolate melting in warm climates by studying the “fundamentals of heat-stable chocolate”.
Candidates wishing to study chocolate need to apply by 29 August.
The would-be doctor of chocolate will be expected “investigate the factors which allow chocolate, which has a melting point close to that of the human body, to remain solid and retain qualities sought by consumers when it is stored and sold in warm climates”.
The research project is “mainly experimental”, but will require good mathematical skills, the advertisement says.

Going home…
I feel like I’m running on decaf today…
Official merchandise you didn’t know you wanted
I didn’t know any of this existed. I’m part offended by the capitalism of this, part lustful about wanting it.
Something to aim for
I had a New Year’s resolution to post a blog entry at least once a day, every day, for a year. Sadly, I haven’t made it, So far, there have been 16 days out of 226 that are postless. Still, that’s a 93% post rate, which isn’t bad.
I will call it “working” from now on as well
Get in my bellah!!!
I had sushi for lunch today. This makes me very happy. Given the Swiss prices for it, it’s not something I can get away with often. For this, I miss Bishoku and the thrice-weekly lunches I used to have there when I was working on Montreal.
