One, I am such a geek. I imagine many of you are nodding and going "So? This is news?" Well no, obviously, my utter geekdom has been known for some time now. But today, when the family went to Golden Corral for lunch/dinner/Thanksgiving Gorging we had the obligatory turkey. And hubby and I were talking and he said the turkey might make the ( Read more... )

You know, I had a similar conversastion with my mother this morning about turkey, and my answer as also Tretonin. *face palm*

So, it's not just you.

Must be the fannish hive mind. *g* I just wish I could remember what it's actually called, because it's making me nuts. Triptophan? Only not spelled that way, I think.

Found this on The Journal Times Online

"Turkey contains this magic ingredient called tryptophan....Tryptophan does help the body produce the B-vitamin niacin, which the body uses to produce serotonin. Serotonin acts like a relaxant and can help you fall asleep."

You were close.

Mmm, the happy sciency stuff, thank you. And I just knew something was wrong with the spelling, but the y looked too silly. Now I'm off to enjoy my heightened serotonin levels. *g*

Now, if you were truly geeky, you would have hopped onto Google as you as you got home and typed in "turkey sleepy chemical" to find out how to spell L-Tryptophan. ;)

Geek.

OMG yay! I have so been trying to figure out what it was called. See, I used my powers of geekdom to influence you to look it up for me. *g*

lt_kitty November 24 2005, 17:07:50 UTC

Your welcome.

Of course, since I am an old-school geek, my first thought was triticale. ;)

kalimyre November 24 2005, 22:28:23 UTC

Ah, I believe I have been out-geeked. You, madam, are the better geek; I congratulate you. *g*

(But of course, I must know--what's triticale?)

I was kinda skimming through my friends page, when all of a sudden, a random bold phrase pops out at me -- and I couldn't help but look. :) Don't you wish it had been "accidentally leaked" pics of George and Eric...well, you get the idea. Maybe that's just me. ;)

kalimyre November 24 2005, 22:26:36 UTC

Leaked pictures of George and Eric would be enough to make me actually buy a tabloid, something I have thus far avoided. Because that? Would so be worth it. *g*

(Also, giggling madly over your icon. Hee! WL has the best quotes.)
