jury duty … again
Heading back to jury selection in the morning. I won’t be Twittering this time, at least not regularly. Maybe an update here or there, but since I’ll mostly be in the courtroom tomorrow I don’t see there being much of a chance for me to post. Especially since I’ll be so busy catching up on my sleep.
Speaking of stinky pee, asparagus has been in the news a lot lately. Scientists recently announced that the soil on Mars is perfect for growing the vegetable:
Soil on Mars ‘good for asparagus’
There is still no answer to the old question of whether there has ever been life on Mars, but apparently there could be vegetable life.
Guess we know what we’ll be eating after we have to abandon earth in the next decade or so. Or maybe not:
Dodgy asparagus sauce killed restaurant diner
81-year-old William Hodgins died just hours after dining with his wife at the up market Tables restaurant in Pymble last year. An inquest has today found it was a pathogen in the asparagus sauce, served with his fish that killed him.
Well, back to the drawing board. Maybe the soil on Venus is perfect for growing some other vegetable?

I bet this isn’t the first time in space exploration history that scientists are kicking themselves for not putting asparagus seeds on robotic land-roving robot!
