One of my coworkers just received the Veganomicon in the mail.
Apparently it was written by a Mad Arab just after he vowed not to exploit animals. After writing of his new, forbidden knowledge that was destined to DRIVE HIM INSANE he WANDERED INTO THE DESERT!!! Never to be seen again.
Or maybe it was the idea of never being able to eat cheese again that drove him mad. There should be a special edition bound in the skin of celeries or something.
See? Cthulhu reference? Two different subcultures? Yeah.
