NETWORTHY: Last meal

Deadly delights: The blowfish, known as “fugu” in Japanese cuisine, is a delicacy that has the unfortunate tendency of paralyzing your body and stopping your heart, thus killing you, if you eat too much of the wrong parts of it. But other tasty snacks can be fatal too, like undercooked cassava, better known as the stuff they make tapioca from, and apricot kernels, which contain a chemical that turns into cyanide in your belly. The Daily Meal has the nine deadliest edibles at bit.ly/m1APVJ.
Opinionated: The Gen Why Media Project, created by some earnest young people who want to make Canada better, is more than just clever, insightful blog posts and entertaining videos about Bill C-10 and how it will take all the money for education and spend it on criminals. It’s also about real-life, real-world events that any earnest young people can participate in, Tom Waits lyrics, astronomy and interesting statistics that may get you to think differently about the world around you, which seems to be the point at genwhymediaproject.com.
