"Juvenile" may not be quite the word for "Big Secrets", but it isn't intended to be a very serious book. It is an entertaining collection of trivia, along the lines of the "Guiness Book of World Records" or the "Book of Lists". I heard an interview with its author on NPR, and he revealed two Big Secrets on the air: -- the secret blend of herbs and spices in Kentucky Fried Chicken is a healthy dose of MSG; -- the secret in the formula for Coca Cola, supposedly known only to two employees who are never allowed to fly in the same plane but in fact common knowledge at all bottling plants, is cinnamon and citrus extracts. The only difference in the syrup formulas for Coke and Pepsi is that one has more lemon extract and the other has more orange. I'm never one to shy away from heavy theological disputes on net.religion! :-) ---- Prentiss Riddle ("Aprendiz de todo, maestro de nada.") {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!riddle
