[snort] "mini-moons" [snort] (referring to #23)

I stumbled across this decent list of 50 things we know now (that we didn't know last year). Some I found interesting:

6. Cheese consumption in the United States is expected to grow by 50 percent between now and 2013.

19. Red wine contains anti-inflammatory chemicals that stave off diseases affecting the gums and bone around the teeth.

20. A substance called resveratrol, also found in red wine, protects mice from obesity and the effects of aging, and perhaps could do the same for humans.

OK - this makes perfect sense. As soon as more people hear about the new good things in red wine, there will be a plethora of wine and cheese parties. This helps explain #6.
