A French restaurant served it’s one millionth strangled duck yesterday, a menu item they’ve been cooking since 1890 and keeping track of since the beginning. For the record, Charlie Chaplin ate duck No. 253,652 in 1955, and many other famous persons have partaken of this, uh, delicacy. (BTW, the ducks are cooked in their own blood…yum.)
Not nearly as significant, but a milestone of some sort nonetheless, yesterday the 100th person signed up as a member to this site. I’m not sure what exactly membership entails as I don’t send bulletins, and certainly there haven’t been nearly that many people actually joining the conversation. But it’s kind of a neat moment, knowing that that many people have taken the time to sign in. It’s enough of a motivator to keep me writing for another week or two at least…;)
