The anecdote about the Bush family's vacation house is totally real, by the way. That happened in the town of Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island. George Cera and I were cruising around in a golf cart with air rifles, looking for black spiny-tailed lizards. Suddenly we were right there in front of Marvin Bush's house staring at a lizard and trying to be low-key about the long guns that we were toting. I don't know whether any of the family was there at the time but in either case I was amazed that the Secret Service didn't surround us.
Coming up in mid-September on Slate will be something a little bit different from what I've written about in the past either here or for Slate. I'm going to be looking at the evolutionary history of tasting like chicken.
