This might be the most blatant misuse of "rational" in a post title I've ever seen.

Now that's a challenge ...

  • Rational snorkeling
  • Rational hash brownie preparation¹
  • Rational weasel appreciation
  • Rational captchaloguing
  • Rational cache flushing
  • Rational cash flashing
  • Rational rasher rationing

¹ Actually there was an article about this in a recent Erowid newsletter. Kinda.
