pyesetz | Oh, and just one more thing...

Dave Barry did a year-in-review article, which I have seen quoted repeatedly by stock-traders because he refers to various zombies, such as "the economy, which has somehow been recovering for years now without actually getting any better".

It's his usual excellent work, except there's just one thing: he identifies "kale" as one of the nasty trends of 2013:

Suddenly this year restaurants started putting kale into everything, even though it is an unappetizing form of plant life that until recently was used primarily for insulation. Even goats will not eat it. Goats, when presented with kale, are like, “No thanks, we’ll just chew on used seat cushions.”

Problem: goats will famously eat anything, even things that really shouldn't be activating their "food" detectors. So I Googled for "goat likes kale" and found the attached image. Yup, Mr. Barry was kidding — even goats will eat kale. I just wonder why he decided to pick on the caprines for this joke.

I'd better go now, before I start quoting from Barry's I'll Mature when I'm Dead, which I received as a Hanukkah present this year. There are so many quotable lines!
