You know the rule, if food hits the floor and stays there for less
than 5 seconds it can't be dirty... right? Well, now there is a
reasonably scientific discussion of this to finally answer the
question. (found via Slashdot)
On a similar note I remember an incident where this rule narrowly
escaped being necessary. Quite a few years ago over at a Jon's house
we were eating and he knocked a fork off the table with his elbow..
and proceeded to react and catch it before it hit the floor! If only I
had a reaction time like that.. I could have .... ummm... ... well..
been able to *actually hit* moving baseballs or learned to unicycle
faster? On the other hand maybe I'm better off the way I am.
