    But who cares if chocolate is good or bad for one's long term
health as long as it is tasty.  Death is inevitable in this very tem****ary
life so relax and have a nice truffle or other chocolate treat. 

    Have all the regulars gone off on a world chocolate tour or something
of like nature?

    On PBS yesterday there was a great show on chocolate and how the
local chocolatiers are helping the growers all over the world to improve
their crops by teaching them about making chocolate and giving them
equipment so that they can make chocolate and taste what they grow.
