We finally have it thanks to CyclingNews publishing Ullrich's starting
weights in his first race of each year, 1997-2005.
His ideal weight is 72kg. At the beginning of 2005 Ullrich tipped the
scales at 79kg for a gain of 7kg.
Only one person hit the weight gain exactly--Ewoud Dronkert. Get in touch

I did what?! Damn, I had to look that up in the archives. Hey, you know
I'm in Holland, that's a bit out of the way to be mailing king-size cakes
to. I'll donate my winnings to the winner of the next contest: who will
win the 2006 Tour de France? Number of confirmed positives as a decider. I
take Ullrich and 1.5 (the other guy had a prescription, as it turned out).
Cheers.

Sadly, the New Orleans baker that makes and ships some of the best King
Cakes, is not taking orders due to Katrina damage. His children who run a
similar operation in St. Bernard Parish have been totally destroyed. For
those who may not be familiar with King Cakes, they are sort of like a
danish pastry ring, often with fruit or cheese filling and they have hidden
within them a tiny plastic statue of the Baby Jesus. The person who's piece
of cake has the baby must throw the party for all the following year. This
is rarely a problem since (a) most everyone throws a Mardi Gras party and
(b) if they don't, they'll welcome the excuse to do so. I'll keep you
posted.

Ah. A galette du roi.

You could opt for the original version- the galette du roi. It has a plastic
(or ceramic) statue hidden in it, and as opposed to it's New Orleans cousin,
it tastes really good (assuming you like marzipan and buttery puff pastry.)
Galettes will be coming into season soon...

Yeah, I was sort of sorry to learn about King Cake. I've been telling my
friends that I couldn't imagine an American bakery getting away with
hiding small inedible toys inside pastries intended to be eaten by
children, particularly when the small toy is about the size of a child's
esophagus.

Nobody chokes when you've had a few--even the kids. Seriously, I can't
think of any incidents with kids, nor can a buddy of mine who has been an ER
doc in New Orleans for 20 years. I guess people who get the cakes just know
how to eat them.

Because this is in the US South, it illustrates intelligent design. ID is
also illustrated by the existence of drive through daiquiri shops.

A plaintiff's attorney nightmare.

That would make natural selection part of intelligent design.

Reminds me of a Mickey and Minnie Mouse t-shirt I picked up in N'awleans. Great
to wear around the mall and get parents a frowning.
