salesman they say are only as good as thier last sale, so to me restaurants are only as good as thier last meal, so 66 gets downgraded to 3*, still loved but not on the level as WD or Kai anymore......rumor is I have been downgraded also.....tonight I had 3 meals between 6:00 and 11:00, the first was tasty Thai (1* stuff) and I got BYOB ok, biggest table is 10 (heres someone else's review... 56 PAM REAL THAI FOOD No one is quite sure why there are so many Siamese restaurants in Hell's Kitchen, but most agree that the majority have toned down Thai food for the American palate, throwing the bottle of fish sauce away. Not so at Pam's, where sharp sour, salty, and fishy flavors are promulgated. Noodle dishes and yum are particularly recommended, as is duck with chile sauce. 404 West 49th Street, Manhattan 333-7500)..second was 66, and some dishes were great again but it lost something....WD50 for 3 great app's (the soup is on the menu tonight w/ watercress) ended the night...

Hangawi's new place was nothing special (Franchia 34/35 Park), we were not full so we went to another Korean for meat and nothing special (32nd St right off Bway, south side).....stick to Hangawi or WOOCHON (IMHO)
What happened to Word?

The true cynic’s review of WD50, but without the compunctions of being an actual food critic. Cindy Adams serves up the borscht (belt).

From the
Washington PostAt least 19 people in three Midwestern states have contracted a disease related to smallpox, marking the first outbreak of the life-threatening illness in the United States, federal heath officials said yesterday....
The disease, known as monkeypox, usually only occurs in central and western Africa. It is caused by a virus known as an orthopox virus, which is the family of viruses that includes the smallpox virus, one of the most dangerous diseases known to man and a feared biological weapon....
While much about the monkeypox virus is unclear, it does not seem to be as deadly as smallpox. Authorities estimate that monkeypox has a mortality rate of between 1 percent and 10 percent, compared with a mortality rate of about 30 percent for smallpox.
The monkeypox virus is believed to spread through physical contact with a sick person or infected animal, or through infected body fluids, although health officials said it apparently is not as easily spread as smallpox, which is highly infectious.

labute interview from bomb
The floating island:
a moden adventure with pykrete:
In late 1942, Lord Louis Mountbatten - the British military's Chief of Combined Operations - paid a visit to Winston Churchill at his official country home, Chequers. Mountbatten had with him a small parcel of great importance. A member of Churchill's staff apologized that the Prime Minister was at that moment in his bath.
"Good," said Mountbatten as he bounded up the stairs. "That's exactly where I want him to be." Mountbatten entered the steaming bathroom to find Churchill in the tub. It was generally not a wise thing to interrupt Sir Winston in his bathtub.
"I have," Mountbatten explained, "a block of a new material that I would like to put in your bath."
