A guy I used to work with bought a sandwich from a cafeteria line -- it came
on a plate covered with Saran Wrap. When I first saw it, it was already 5
years old, and was a continually changing micro-panorama of color. Ther was
absolutely no way of telling that the thing had once been a sandwich. In all
that time, the molds had never settled into entropy, but must have been
waging intense war for supremacy. He called it his pet, and when I left
there it was 8 years old and still going strong.
