some links... from Florida! (I'll be back on Monday)

- Alert Reader My Mom dramamamalama points out: there's a How Stuff Works about Rice Krispies and they're saying that it's individual puffed rice kernels. Do we believe How Stuff Works, or ... ?

- GNU Hurd: mostly developed by a Gregorian friar. Interesting! He seems like a pretty nice guy. It probably takes some faith to be the HURD dude.

- For drum 'n' bugle corps (as distinct from marching bands), they use special gigantic bugles instead of the sousaphone. It's apparently historically a different activity, the drum 'n' bugle corps -- more military than collegiate. But neither of these things are the same as military pop. (thanks for the heads up, Laura laurapatt!)

Also, an old version of the Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rice_Krispies&oldid=52655454) tends to agree with me. In the talk section, an unnamed person who works for Kelloggs and has poor grammar mentions something about a "rice boil", which also supports my argument.

This is quite the conundrum!
