When last seen, Cub Tracks was hitting the ground running, discussing clean living, flat feet and fire helmets at Wrigley, trade talks, the saga of "Eric", rampant speculation, and other bullets. This time around, we're considering what kind of gravy to have on the meatloaf. Brown, or ketchup? Or a combination of the two, or something else? In my world, we put bacon on top, cheese in the middle, and use barbecue sauce. Which is fitting, because it's Sunday, and in my world, that means barbecue. So I'll be wearing my vintage reversible jersey and cheering on our beloved Cubs while gnawing on the bones of dead beasts treated with fire. I hope you have similarly fulfilling activities planned.

Now that you're nice and hungry, here are some links to chew on:

Brendan Cole (Wired): 35 mice watched the film "Touch of Evil" for science. You can check out the results for yourself.



David Schulz (Science): Your culture -- not your biology, shapes your musical taste. Miles Davis' quote on music: "Do not fear mistakes. There are none."

Matt Simon (Wired): Charcoal grilling tastes better than gas -- it's just science. And use a chimney, not lighter fluid.



I find it amusing that this exists: Cub Tracks Online. It's from Humboldt High School. Enjoy your Sunday.
