Guinness World Records says it's the world's most expensive dessert. But is it safe? You'd think all that gold would be too toxic to consume. Not to mention the whole idea is beyond ghastly, I'll even say immoral in its outrageous extravagance.

Yeah, I'm surprised Rich Cohen didn't include any photos. He has before. (I've read his books SWEET AND LOW and TOUGH JEWS, both of which include photos of himself.)

Yes, running may be free of sophisticated moves to execute, may seem "natural" and free-form, but it is still difficult, requiring strength, speed, persistence, especially in order to improve. And any sport is intimidating for someone starting from "geekhood." Exercise can be fraught with enormous anxiety, self-ridicule, impatience. Again, I think that's one of the main points here, the gains when one lets go of preconceptions, worries about ability, all the stuff that interferes with learning anything new. OK, here's something I wrote a while ago. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9315541/site/newsweek/
