Maripat has more courage than me about talking about serious issues involving oneself. So far, I like to keep this a very non-personal blog.
I don’t agree with everything Venomous Kate says about e-mails, but I do find it hard to respond to all the e-mails I get. I don’t know how Volokh does it.
Bill Quick is going to be trying his hand at moving property in the San Francisco area. Congrats on passing the real estate exam, Bill.

Frank Answers: Meat Eating Vegans, Job Advice, and Electrical Engineering is Sweet
WWWaylon from Spielmeck, Lintuvia asks:
If a vegan ate a double cheeseburger, would he or she die?
The best way to answer this question was to trick a vegan into eating a double-cheeseburger. I simply told one vegan that it was in fact a veggie burger with soy cheese. He expressed doubt, saying it looked too edible for that to be true, but I was able to convince him that it was a brand new product that used special soy and lentil mixtures to make a food-like substance that wasn’t disgusting. He fell for it, and chowed down the burger. No effects were immediately observed.
I then thought, perhaps knowledge of it being real meat would work as a catalyst. So I informed the vegan, “Hey, that was a real burger made with real cow and cheese from actual cow milk stolen from cows!”
He was horrified, and then blathered on and on about how horrible we are to animals and how much better it is to be a vegan and be one with nature. It got so annoying, I finally punched him, knocking two of his teeth out.
So, eating a double cheeseburger will not kill a vegan, but it will cause injury.
Tal from Chicago, IL asks:
I’m graduating from college in a few weeks and I don’t have a job. What should I do?
Not knowing your degree, it’s hard to say. I’d recommend back-up rap singer. All you do is say, “Yeah!” and “Uh-huh!” at appropriate intervals while someone else does all the complicated part of rapping. Sounds like little work, and you get all the hos you want.

It’s pretty cool that you are a Catholic (I think) engineer like me, but why did you pick the second-nerdiest discipline (electrical)? Everyone knows that civils are much cooler and get all the chicks.
Yes I am a Catholic, but I disagree with you on the discipline of electrical engineering. It’s so sweet. You see, I’m a digital engineer, and all I have to know is how to add the numbers 1 and 0 together and I get paid mad money. It’s so easy.
0 + 0 = 0
1 + 0 = 1
1 + 1 = …uh I guess I forgot that one. Well, I probably won’t need it on the next circuit I make.
Ah, who am I kidding? I just drink coffee most the day.
Finally, the question on everyone’s mind:
When will there be the continuation of In My World: Black Project Insano?
The continuation will be at the next regularly scheduled In My World™, which is Monday. So, will Buck be successful in his fight against the Lintuvians? What is Black Project Insano, and can anyone stop Condoleezza Rice from using it to take over the world? And can Ari keep everything hidden from the wily and sexy Fox News reporter? Find the answers to these questions and more plus a special guest appearance by Michael Moore on Monday.
Please keep the questions coming, <a href=”mailto:THISISSPAMTHISISSPAMace you’re from, I’ll randomly select one.
