Food of the Day - Sannak ji
From Wikipedia:
Sannakji or sannakji hoe is a variety of hoe in Korean cuisine. It consists of live nakji (hangul: 낙지, a small octopus) that has been cut into small pieces and served immediately, usually lightly seasoned with sesame and sesame oil. The nakji pieces are usually still squirming on the plate. It can also be served whole.
Because the suction cups on the arm pieces are still active when the dish is served, special care ought to be taken when eating sannakji. The active suction cups can cause swallowed pieces of arm to stick to the mouth or throat. This can present a choking hazard for some people, particularly if they are intoxicated. One must thoroughly chew so that no piece is big enough to stick to one's throat. Some people like the feel of the pieces wriggling as swallowed, and so will not completely chew up the particles. If you are new to eating sannakji, you should completely chew it up into tiny particles before swallowing.

8 Million Hits
What's the point of guest hosting if you can't pimp your own blog?
A milestone of some sort… Thanks everyone.
And for those who are wondering who the 8 millionth visiter was, according to sitemeter they were from Kirklees in the UK. They came in to Cyn-C from google on a search for “lego famous pics recreated”. They stayed for 8 seconds before clicking on this link. Their operating system was WinXP and the browser they used was IE 6.0. Their favorite color was navy blue and they enjoy horseback riding, cricket and long walks on the beach. Their blood type is O positive. His first name is Gavin and his last name starts with the letter P and ends with the letter H. He’s had 3 sexual partners but during stories that number is inflated to 12. His father died when he was 8 by having a heart attack while trying to undo a pesky knot in his shoes which is why Gavin only wears loafers.
The Critic asks “So what does the 8 millionth visitor receive?”
Well there won’t be any money but when Gavin dies, on his deathbed, he will receive total consciousness. So, he has that going for him. Which is nice.

Teens Film Themselves Beating 16 Year Old Girl
From TheLedger.com:
A battered and bruised Victoria Lindsay will not be returning to public school following an incident in which six other girls have been accused of videotaping a beating of the 16-year-old Mulberry High cheerleader.
While a week has passed since the pummeling, Lindsay is still recovering from a concussion and has not fully regained her hearing and vision on her left side.
But as swelling subsides, doctors hope those will return, her parents said Monday.
“When I saw my daughter in the emergency room, I didn’t recognize my own daughter,” said Patrick Lindsay, Victoria’s father.
Almost immediately, he handed her a pen and paper to write down the names of who was responsible and how it all happened to give to police.
“She was in fear for her life,” he said. “She thought she was going to die.”
Polk Sheriff Grady Judd said Monday the argument between the teens erupted from “trash talking” on MySpace and through text messaging.
The Sheriff’s Office declined to elaborate on what specifically was said, citing its ongoing investigation.

The Exciting Game of Career Girls
A board game from 1966:
It's called "What Shall I Be?", and I imagine that when the Bay Shore, NY-based Selchow & Righter Company sent it to toy store shelves in 1966 that they saw it as a progressive step. "Let's get our little American girls ready for the wide-open working world!".
Photos of the Construction of the Empire State Building, 1930-1931
Wonderful pictures. Just don't look down.
