"Damn you! You little prying Pandora!"

Oatmeal is a remarkably unpleasant thing.

Huh. I once called my math teacher a "little lying Delilah" when he totally tricked us about when we were having an quiz. It's a good thing he's about 100 and completely oblivious, or else he might have given me a detention.

And oatmeal is only good if it's loooooaded with sugar. 'Course, most things are good loaded with sugar...

I used to think like that too when I was a kid. But since then, I've come to my senses, so to speak. I've realized how good it is to eat oatmeal porridge just before going to university lectures etc. I'm always incredibly hungry after a few lectures but never when I've been eating oatmeal. And I've actually started to enjoy my morning tradition of waking up, making some oatmeal porridge and then eating it with berries and reading the newspaper...
But then again, I'm Finnish and oatmeal porridge is something like an unofficial national dish here, and it's one of those things that everyone has an opinion about. :-p

New Scientist points out that - unique amongst the grains - no-one has ever made an alcoholic drink out of it.
