Soup du Jour

Seen on the cafeteria lunch menu at work:

Stockpot: Scarlet Runner Bean Soup with Ham Hocks

I hesitate to ask what "scarlet runner" means in this context. And in general, to think of it. Although, mmmm, ham hocks.

Why would I need to use a search engine when I have you people?

Add a lazyweb extension to PHP...

Maybe they should provide a terminal with Yahoo! Search next to the menu board, instead of just giving a simple description/definition of "unusual" items, so that we can search for it.

That would be so much more efficient.
