Not to change the subject, but when I flew back from NYC yesterday through Newark, the guards at the security checkpoint confiscated a round of New Jersey Cheddar cheese that I had in a backpack.

They said it was 'too sharp'.

Drop those 6600 cases on Trashcanistan (no parachutes), so they can behold firsthand The Power of Cheese.
