Weed: not even once | Commentary POSTED AT 06:56 PM ON Oct. 12, 2011 (UPDATED AT 12:17 AM ON Oct. 13, 2011) I’d like to formally thank the Barack Obama administration for cracking down on the marijuana epidemic America is facing. The dangers of marijuana are outrageous: fatal kidney and lung disorders, possible brain damage, severe depression and, worst of all, death. It’s produced in “Mary labs” sprinkled across America’s trailer parks and farms. Oh, wait. When marijuana was first introduced in the 1980s, it annihilated an entire generation of black youths because of its cheap price and highly addictive nature, despite its short-lived 5- to 15-minute peak. Many women who succumbed to its addictive properties became ganja whores. Ah, that’s wrong, too. Marijuana was first created as a way to wean people off of a commonly abused pain killer called morphine in the 1800s. Remember how the spread of HIV/AIDS in the ’70s and ’80s was partially a result of sharing marijuana needles? No, no, no, that was heroin.
What makes sushi great? - Chefs and Cooks A friend of mine once met a delegation of revered Japanese chefs. There was a wizened gentleman among them who was clearly the leader. He spoke little, but the other star chefs deferred to him, paid him obvious respect. To be honest, I don’t know what that means. Sushi, of course, is the ultimate in simple food: Mostly just rice and a piece of raw fish, it would seem that anyone with a knife and one functioning hand can make it. What animates a sushi master? Jiro Ono, 85 years old and counting, is a revered sushi chef who runs a restaurant inside a Tokyo subway station, and “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” is easily the best, most beautiful movie about sushi you will see this year, or, let’s face it, probably any other. Instead, the movie focuses on the life of a man who is utterly devoted to his craft. His search for perfection is eternal. Still, there is another side to this mastery, to this inspiring devotion. “You must fall in love with your work,” Jiro says.

Shitter Of All The People In All The World Of All The People In All The World, a traveling art exhibit in the UK, uses grains of rice to bring the large numbers behind world populations to the grasp of the average human being. In the exhibit, one grain of rice equals one person and those grains of rice are put together to represent all kind of statistics from the small (such as the number of people who have walked on the moon) to the large (the population of the United States as seen below).
