Oh another story about microplastics. I have decided that I will donate my body to science so I want to consume all of the microplastics that is humanly possible so that they can conduct research on me. If dissection is involved I would prefer that they waited until I was dead though. Unless the money is right...
Mr. McGuire: I just want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Plastics.
Benjamin: Exactly how do you mean?
Mr. McGuire: There's a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?

I have to echo Blue here - there is NOTHING like NYC pizza. I will often be fooled into thinking that I can get pizza just as good here in Jersey, until I make the 40 minute jaunt into the city. Then I am reminded that close is not the same as "just as good as".

I've had deli and pizza in NYC and they're ok. I never found that NYC pizza was any better than any other place in North America - and it's certainly not better than Neopolitan style pizza.
