Lawrence Principe (2004), Johns Hopkins University, history of chemistry
Alexander Jones (2006), University of Toronto, history of astronomy

Functional Fashion

I received a shout recently from Meg C. (a non-BC '08 participant) of some crochet needles done good. How she found out about this remains a mystery. Is she a secret crocheter? A crochet fan? Just a finder of oddities? I guess that doesn't really matter. What matters is the combining of good eats with good stitches.

Regular bacon keeps you warm on the inside, but this bacon keeps you warm on the outside: Bacon Wrap

What Does The Future Hold?

I received an e-mail from Chris T. about a week ago:

Just came across your site today. A little late to get in on the 08 challenge, but as a daily bacon eater, I could probably catchup in the 6 weeks remaining. Any chance you will be doing this for 2009? I would be interested in participating.

Thanks,
Chris

Well? What's our deal? Is the era of challenges over, or do we go at it again? Bacon again or do we switch to something else?

Apples, to see if "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" really holds true?

Cheese?

Bananas?

Sausage?

Oreos?

Something else?

While in the home stretch we should probably get thinking/deciding.
