Turn Dinner Into an Odyssey

At Ruffian in the East Village, Homer’s classic work provides the inspiration for a special menu through the month of August.

Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Who steals my purse steals trash. 'Tis something, nothing:
'Twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands.
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed.

Not much. "Sex."

Maybe You Were Thinking About Eating Raw Centipedes. Don’t.

Dried or powdered centipedes are used in Chinese traditional medicine. But uncooked specimens may contain a parasite that infects the brain, scientists report.

"Asked why anyone would sell live centipedes — which have a venomous bite — Dr. Lu explained that some traditionalists boil them in teas or pickle them in wine to use as home remedies.
“In my opinion, it would be rude to tell the customer, ‘Don’t eat them raw,’” she said. “It would say the customer is stupid.”"

‘Bigfoot Erotica’ Becomes an Issue in Virginia Congressional Campaign

Monster-themed pornography does exist. But Denver Riggleman, a Republican, said his writing on Bigfoot has not been pornographic.

Define pornography.
Like humor and art it is in the mind of the viewer.

Denver Riggleman is guilty.

The Upshot

A Census Question That Could Change How Power Is Divided in America

‘Is this person a citizen?’ The answer could mean less representation for populous states and big cities.

This was settled law from the constitutional convention of 1787.
A count of all resident persons every ten years.
A slave was 5/8 of a person.
