Schott through the heart

Interview with Ben Schott, of Miscellany fame. I highly recommend the Food and Drink Miscellany.

Funny quote:
"Google is about as good as going into the street and saying, 'Does anyone know how much the registration threshold for VAT went up?' And someone goes, 'I think it's 49,000.' And you go, 'Oh, 49,000, great.' That's Google."
