Friday folderol

If this technique were applied to garage bands, would they no longer be allowed to call themselves that?

Next time you bite into a lobster, take note of the rubber bands on the claws. One of them may have a URL written on it. The idea is to have the diner report where the lobster was consumed, in order to show the lobstermen where their catch went, and also to show the consumer where the crustacean came from. Taking this the next logical step, can we expect URLs in that FDA blue ink reproduced on the fat on NY strip steaks? (Just kidding, folks, just kidding!)

Now I may have to report where I have eaten a lobster?
Big Brother is really watching....

No, no, no. It's all for educational reasons and not government-sponsored. Could be worse; they could embed a chip and it would ask you to report it. ;)

I'm not eating lobster anywhere where they forget to take the rubberbands off the claws before serving 'em. I'm just sayin'....!

I hadn't heard about that. Sort of like Book Crossings with Lobsters. I'll have to stop by the Fish Market to see if their lobsters have URLs. :)

I enjoyed the piece on neurofeedback and musicians. I wonder if it would work for me? :)
