...next offering, Human Nature, in cinemas now, is another head snapper. Patricia Arquette plays Lila, an abnormally hirsute woman who falls in love with a light-in-the-shorts behavioral scientist, Nathan Bronfman (Tim Robbins). Bronfman is trying, with some success, to teach mice to eat with the correct salad fork (yes, really).

Other entrees include lemon tuna, Cuban pork roll-ups and salads boasting goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. Forgive a small digression, but why are goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes viewed as delicacies? Have you ever seen a goat? And what is a sun-dried tomato other than...
