Rev. William Buckland, a 19th-century geologist, was known for his many oddities. Among them was his desire to eat one of every species of animal. He found some merit in almost every species he ate, except one. What animal did Buckland not like to eat?

Mole. Some sites say that he disliked bluebottles as well. http://www.improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume6/v6i6/buckland-6-6.html Nov 15 05, 3:02 AM

Nah, this was before Darwin, back then they didn't consider humans to be part of the animal kingdom. Nov 16 05, 4:31 AM

Temporarily in prison, this public health official and agronomist was forced to eat something known in his native land as animal feed and even the cause of a loathsome disease. Subsequently, he cleverly promoted this item, to the extent that a couple of dishes incorporating it are named for him, along with a stop on a famed urban transport system. Who was he, what food did he help popularize, and can you describe the dishes? Which US president traveled to Texas and ate a tamale with the husk still on it because he did not know how to eat it? A chemist, geologist, philosopher, writer, and much-copied artist in a special field, this Huguenot received an unusual private commission from a woman who should have been his enemy. Some years ago, excavations at a famous museum uncovered his workshop. Who was he, what is he best known for, and who was his famous patroness? In a 14-stage race there were 100 competitors, among them 'Crazy' Charlie. In all 14 stages 'Crazy' charlie finished in the same position: 93rd. However, at the end of the race, 'Crazy' Charlie was declared runner-up in the competition: his accumulated time was less that that of all the other competitors except one, the champion. Bearing in mind the fact that none of the 100 competitors withdrew from the race, how was it possible for 'Crazy' Charlie to finish second if he never even made it into the top 90 competitors?
