Agree.

Aside:

This morning, I had the pleasure of finding a half-used container of
plain yogurt in the nether regions of the fridge, dated November 4, 2004.

Really interesting stuff. The top half looked like our common
perception of what a brain looks like: grey, with deep convoluted folds
and a pimply surface. The bottom was yellow liquid that all ran out
when I tipped it into the recycle pail. Surprisingly (to me), it didn't
smell bad.

(I am going to park the recycle pail in the (freezing) barn, just in
case it decides to get up and walk around tonight.)
