Too Much Information?

Maybe. This is certainly a waste of good chocolate, if you ask me.

Rare Maya "Death Vase" Discovered: "An extremely rare and intricately carved 'death vase' has been discovered in the 1,400-year-old grave of an elite figure from the Maya world, scientists say.

The vase is the first of its kind to be found in modern times, and its contents are opening a window onto ancient rituals of ancestor worship that included food offerings, chocolate enemas, and hallucinations induced by vomiting, experts say."

Ah, well, they probably used the local equivalent of a Hershey's or Nestle's regular milk chocolate bar, or a Little Debris cake.

"Little Debris cake" is a great typo. To show how little things have changed, Doris Day has long been an advocate of coffee enemas. I wonder if she adds a dash of Swiss Miss.

No typo, Bob. A certain circle of my friends and acquaintances have been calling the discount junkfood L'il Debris for decades. (Never assume, even given my frequent display o' magic fingers.)

You and your friends are on the mark, tm. I find those products inedible, and my taste buds died years ago.
