04/07/04’s illustrious band:

Oath Bran

Brought to you by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Your tax dollars at work: In searching the FDA website today, I read several examples of acceptable wording for nutrition labels. One of them touted a product as being a “good source of oath bran.”

Chances are that was just a typo, and the FDA was talking about a good source of oat bran. But what if it wasn’t? What if oath bran was a real food? Would it contain so much fiber that it would cause you to curse loudly as it passed through your digestive system? Or would you feel compelled to keep your promises after getting the recommended daily allowance?

The Media Sensation is enjoying a long weekend at Sensational Acres, looking forward to some pleasant weather by day and multimedia entertainment by night. The Rite of Spring Bonfire commences Saturday at 7:00 p.m. It’s BYO sacrificial Marshmallow Peeps; I promise you some very pretty s’mores.

And here’s a big shout-out to the Easter Bunny, whose timely gifts fill my days with sunshine and chocolate and everything fine. Thanks, EB!

Today around the world: April 7 is International World Health Day. It’s also Women’s Day in Mozambique.
