Freezing tofu makes its consistency less tofuey; more resilient and
variously foodlike (sometimes like a slice of sponge, sometimes of
boletus or of some macroscopic Golgi apparatus). Slice into
quarter-inch slabs, remove surface moisture, and freeze. Dunk it in
boiling water to thaw, then press the water out.

Tetrodotoxin is puffer-fish poison; it will basically just kill you
through respiratory paralysis -- the Rainbow and the Serpent
zombie stuff is rather speculative, finely dose-related at the very
least. Maybe by misspelling it the author meant to signal "artistic
license in full effect", but he took some liberties with hemlock
without any such tag. And don't get me started on this
biotransformation of coniine into tetrodotoxin...

the dictionary problem:
the more common a word is, the more likely it is to be in a given dictionary,
and the less likely you are to want to look for it there.

Notes:
I used some fairly unclean techniques to typeset this stuff in HTML.
The result is acceptable in the browsers I've tried it with: the main
failings are bad dash positioning with unusual font sizes in Mosaic
and general resolution-dependence. If it looks bad on your screen, I
can provide a less temperamental version.
Also, some on-line transcriptions of Hopkins' poetry are appallingly
typo-ridden (the best "Windhover" I've seen is perfect all the way
through the text and then misspells the man's name :-). Please do
tell me if I've missed any typos here.

Even at high ``quality settings'', JPEG has a terrible time with
diagonal edges and lines. They get encrufted with X patterns, a
bright stroke and a dark, centered in the little cosine-transform
squares. I can only imagine that the Joint Photographic Experts used
an unfortunate set of test images.
