The Matzoh Bus! I'd think with an oven the size of a bus you could bake more than a hundred pounds of matzoh a day, but maybe not.

I can't help but think of the old "Venga Bus" video, except with all these orthodox rabbis dancing and singing "The Matzoh Bus is Coming!"

So, now we have the shameful spectacle of people from the Justice Department invoking the Fifth amendment.

There're prolly more disgusting disasters than a sewage flood, but offhand I can't think of them.

Curious Facts about Japan. I'm on a Japan kick of late.

A Curious Fact: Women’s faces [...] are divided into tanuki gao (raccoon dog face) and kitsune gao (fox face). A woman with a ‘racoon dog face’ has wide-set eyes, a wide forehead, full lips and a round shape. A ‘fox face’ means that a woman’s face is narrow and has close-set eyes, thin eyebrows, and high cheekbones.

That's an interesting way to use the fifth, actually.

Basically she's pleading the fifth prior to giving testimony, because she believes that those above her have already stated she's guilty of something. So the defense for the fifth becomes, "No matter what I say, they're going to interpret it as me doing something criminal, even if I wasn't. So I'll plead the fifth and say nothing, on the basis that no matter what I say, it will incriminate me in their eyes."

Pretty slick trick, you gotta admit.
