Jesus: Not just for Sunday brunch anymore!

If you're looking for a new low-fat, low-sugar, low-salt snack, why not consider Remnants of Hosts? Yes, that's 'hosts' as in "Two, four, six, eight, time to transubstantiate." These replica communion wafers have been a Quebec snack-time tradition, and a thorn in the side of conservative Catholic leaders, since the mid-1980s. Disrespectful, maybe, but apparently quite popular as the two companies producing these altar bread scraps churn out two million bags per year.

In high school, my friend's father had all of his albums on vinyl. Perfect way to inspire a lack of respect for authority and to teach a little modern history, while still having a lot of fun.

Great quote from Lehrer's Wiki entry:

"...I'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write. That's the problem: I don't want to satirise George Bush and his puppeteers, I want to vaporize them."
