• I also posted the germs video. Bladio pointed me to a NY Times article about the only scientific study every done based on a Seinfeld episode: double dipping. (My favorite line is, "The way I would put it is, before you have some dip at a party, look around and ask yourself, would I be willing to kiss everyone here? Because you don’t know who might be double dipping, and those who do are sharing their saliva with you.) Another longer-lasting link here.
