To make up for the pun that I made at the end of the Maple Syrup entry in the Guide to Moral Living in Examples, I thought I should attempt to redeem myself by linking to a fascinating visual guide on tapping a maple tree to harvest sap: http://biology.clc.uc.edu/fankhauser/Buds_and_Bark/tapping_sugar_maple_index.html
The whole process is alternately ghoulish and delicious, like hot dogs. Let’s drink the juice that leaks out of this wound and put it on some flapjacks! But hey, those damn maple trees that I climbed as a kid scraped the hell out of my hands and knees, and who can prove that they don’t thirst for our blood as well?
Scientists, I hear you say? Pssh, I heard science isn’t even real.
