Now, I know tech writers like to eat, so it can't be inappropriate to
mention my favorite inappropriate restaurant name -- for a Thai
restaurant in San Rafael, CA:
Thai Derm
Some reporter must have asked them how they came up with such an
appetizing moniker, because I remember reading that it means something
like "the best Thai food" in Thai.
