PZ Myers - first taste of vegemite at #atheistcon bloggers breakfast

[woodyt56]

Vegemite is not fit for human comsumption. You Aussies must be very hard up for things to eat. How can anybody eat that shit?

[Redshield666]

Man, that fat bastard will eat anything. After the camera quit rolling, he ate everyone in the room!

[AThagoras]

PZ, How could you desecrate Vegemite like that?! Vegemite is sacred to us Aussies!

[ficklefiend]

he's a convert! (to vegemite) :D

[AtomikNY]

You know, in my whole life, I've never eaten Vegemite or Jesus. I'll have to try this combo out sometime.

[ThorGoLucky]

Don't worry, PZ. God will do the same thing to you for your action as it does with rapists, abusers and murderers: absolutely nothing.

[Androly]

Well, if it's a beer byproduct it can't be that bad. The name turns me off though, anything even remotely vegetable sounding is unappetizing to me :(

[ls1z28chris]

Sweetwater is an outstanding brewery here in Atlanta. I read an article in the local alternative news weekly that one of the Whole Foods markets in the city is baking bread from their spent grain. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I have only heard good things. Beer byproducts FTW!

But PZ, aren't you worried about going to hell with all the faggots and the jews?

Oh no wait ... it's not real.

Keep on rocking. And next time come to New Zealand! Wellington wants you!!

P.S. Sorry Ozzies, I like Vegemite but it's vastly inferior to the British Marmite.

[blackwolf1200]

What type of vegemite was it, substantial, symbolic or real?

[TheBenEEeee]

I've always liked the taste of communion wafers. The folks around me would go on about how it was the sacred flesh of christ, but no, that didn't stop me from going for seconds :P

NOM NOM NOM

Oh, and PS, Vegemite rocks!

[bernygagne]

Those damn things have always been too dry for my taste. I remember as a child growing up Catholic (I'm fully recovered now, thanks) trying to scrape Jesus of the roof of my mouth after communion.

Nasty.
