Hmm, difficult decision, that one.
It was a toss up, last night, between a free lecture at the University of Toronto, entitled A Map of the Universe: Large Scale Structure and the Cosmic Web, or some homemade Thai curry and a DVD on The Life of Mammals, by David Attenborough.
I’m almost ashamed to say that domestic bliss won out over a chance at some free education—El Franco’s Thai curry just smelled too good and tasted even better!
And besides, the lecture started at 9:10pm. At this point I was already in my grubbies and settled down to watch Sir David rappel down the Amazon forests to observe the amazing arboreal acrobatics performed by a troupe of gibbons.
That guy has the best job in the world!

Well, actually, you were in your grubbies at 7 pm, old orange tart…
