In my mailbox today (links are added):
Dear Boston Vegetarian Society List,
The curator of the World Carrot Museum will be joining us at Happy Buddha on a visit from the UK!
I've never met anyone who has created a museum about a vegetable but I'm intrigued. I'm also pleased to see that similar ventures exist for vegetables that I enjoy even more than carrots.

In quantity of gas and sound production, the bean wins easily of course, as the following anecdotal evidence proves:
"There once was a man from Sparta
who was a magnificent farter.
On the strength of one bean,
he'd fart "God save the Queen"
and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata."
But the smell -please, o aspargus, forgive me these harsh words - the infernal smell of the aspargus fart...
