Yum! Is that Stephanie in the bird?

Here's a story from the New York Times this morning about a rare condition called synaesthesia, sufferers from which - if you want to call them sufferers, to me it sounds kind of cool - among other things, often taste words. And for one subject of synaesthesia researcher Julia Simner, the name Stephanie tastes like sage stuffing. For others, John tastes like cornbread; William, potatoes; Roger, sausages.

If you taste like mint chocolate chip ice cream, drop me a note.
