Thanksgiving Bits
An anonymous reader writes "Whatis.com has a holiday themed tech quiz, Thanksgiving: Do you speak Geek?. Bit stuffing, anyone?" And reader Punboy writes with some hope of building a better turkey: "Apparently the biotech guys are at it again, this time with our poultry!

Einstein was a vegetarian near the end of his life (hehe, perhaps too little too late, no disrespect intended to the departed).
And it's not from WHOM the quote came that makes it important, only that it is supported by a great many facts, and rings very true.
