Where has your pizza been?

It is likely that many pizza delivery people have second jobs. It is possible that some of those second jobs are in funeral homes. And the number of people who are delivery people with second jobs in funeral homes and who think it is acceptable to transport pizzas in the same car as a corpse is exactly one.

A Domino's delivery driver in Pennsylvania, who also happened to be driving with a suspended license, was pulled over for failing to have an inspection sticker on his bumper. The officer noticed that there was a stretcher in the back of the 1993 Buick, whereupon the driver explained his second job was transporting corpses. This does not violate any health ordinances in that county (though perhaps it should), despite the fact that the pizzas were sitting by the stretcher amidst "rubbish and wet clothing."

I don't live in Pennsylvania, but just in case, I'll stick with carry-out. Better yet, maybe I'll go with frozen or homemade.

Ordering Pizza with Unix

Let me begin by confessing my lack of knowledge about Unix. With that out of the way, I just learned about Pizza Party, a text-based piece of software designed to work with Domino's Pizza's QuikOrder system. Generally, I've always been impressed when friends have taken the time to order a pizza online, rather than just calling. In turn, I'm even more impressed that someone has written a program to order pizza online. Basically, you just type in your pizza parameters and it uses your Domino's user name and password to deliver your order to their site. There are some security issues, however. Nevertheless, it's still a fun idea. I also like that it "supports most currently popular toppings like 'mushrooms', and 'pepperoni'!"

If you don't like Domino's, I guess you're S.O.L. Write your own program.

How to read a pizza

Domino's Pizza recently sought the advice of a taste and smell expert to learn more about what pizza toppings say about people's personalities. According to their "Toppings Tell All" study and Dr. Alan Hirsch of Chicago's Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, those chunks of pineapple and anchovy say a lot. "Non-traditional" toppings, like pineapple, indicate aggressive, leader-type personalities. Meat lovers also love to be the center of attention, apparently. Veggie lovers, on the other hand, seem to be humble and introverted.

The Domino's site isn't to clear on the rationale for any of this, but c'mon, it's pizza, what do you want from it, really?
