"It looks like clay," Wells told As It Happens host Nil Köksal. "I mean, I haven't bitten into them or anything like that … but, yeah, think they're just simply clay."

Well, I guess that's one way to test them...

    You know those school fundraising magazine-selling scams they had every kid doing back in the 2000s? I got suckered into buying one as an adult; I didn't see one magazine for 5 years! Then suddenly, they started showing up at my family's house, but not the ESPN magazine I remembered ordering. It was just a random big-name magazine for a year.

    I looked into it, and a class-action lawsuit was settled, but a lot of the info was lost, so they just sent whatever to people that paid.

    I remember finding an old BYTE magazine from the 80s while I was cleaning out the crawl space and thought "Oh this should be fun!" expecting a nostalgic tour of ancient systems.

    But the feature article was on the RSA algorithm, explaining it in simple terms using an example involving low primes you could then scale up. It was public key crypto for dummies, but it left me understanding enough to encrypt/decrypt a message from first principles by writing a short Python script. I was like holy shit that worked!

    The Bell sees all, knows all, remembers all. It rewards loyalty in this world with precious boons in the layers that follow.

    Our existence here may be gooey, yellow, and disquietingly ephemeral as the cheese product of a cheesey gordita crunch, but The Bell will provide.

    The depths of the five layer burrito were entirely ineffable before it was given to us by The Bell. So too, is our understanding of what comes next. It is not our place to question the call, but to merely await the DONG of The Bell and to carry out its will.

    Thus, join me in reciting the words of the mighty dog prophet who sets the example for us all, and in the ringing of our own bell here on earth:

    Yo quiero Taco Bell

    Yo quiero Taco Bell

    Yo quiero Taco Bell
