Don’t be alarmed now.

The Cinnamon Challenge – a now ubiquitous internet viral where people attempt (and fail spectacularly) to swallow a neat dessertspoonful of ground cinnamon is not only scientifically unwinnable, but dangerous.
It’s all down to lubrication, or rather, the lack of it. Jason Bittel sez:
The spice that magically transforms dough and sugar into a sticky bun is actually ground up tree bark, which means we’re talking about a lot of water-resistant cellulose. And according to retired physical chemist Vince Calder, the rest is “a mixture of volatile organic compounds, a major component being cinnamanaldehyde, which is not very water soluble.”
If you want to see this in action without risking asphyxiation, put a tablespoon of cinnamon in a bowl and jostle it until the powder is level. Using a straw, allow a drop of water to fall on the surface. Instead of saturating the cinnamon – like it would with sugar – the water just beads up and rolls around like the liquid seed of a rusty T1000.

A feel-bad counterpoint to the Irish Times’ bottom-quivering search for the best place to live in Ireland.
Do you, in fact, live in the worst place to live in Ireland?
The winning ‘place’ will be announced in early afternoon and Broadsheet will mark the accolade with a plaque (designed by James M Chimney) for the locality and free stuff.

Fine Gael Senator Paul Bradford (above) has said the phrase ‘We are where we are’ 17 times in the House. More than twice as many times as anyone else. He also says “to use an awful phrase/cliche” six times before using it. He also said in 2009 that it was “out of date”. He would go on to use the phrase ten more times after that.
Take it away, Paddy Cullivan (thanks, Bibi)
