Whenever I was asked this, I always pretended to think on it a moment before answering, "An adult." Johnathan

People lice? Interesting typo/autocorrect. I finished The Bone Yard and am now starting up the last in that series, this time without the word "bone" in the title: Without Mercy, by Jefferson Bass. It's another mystery about to be solved by a forensic bone specialist, but this time a killer...

I once experienced something similar in the college cafeteria. I took what I thought was lime Jell-O with sliced pears in it, something I've had many times before and have enjoyed. But one bite in, and I discovered those weren't sliced pears - they were slices of peeled grapefruit. Seriously...
