angels, unicorns, and elves

I was pretty impressed with the boldness of They Might Be Giants saying angels are fake on track one of Here Comes Science which I just got out of the library.

papaya

We tried papaya today. I liked the lime juice bites. Overall, it was good, but it kind of reminded me of melon.
