Holiday Wishes: Donner Party Special Edition

Factoid of the day, courtesy of The Scotsman:

Today in 1972, rescue finally came to the survivors of a Uruguayan Air Force plane which had crashed in the Andes 72 days earlier. The 16 survivors, members of a rugby team from Montevideo, kept themselves alive by eating the flesh of their fellow passengers who had died in the crash.

Mmmm... Tastes like chicken. So, remember, no matter how difficult or stressful your holidays seem, things could always be worse.
