Brooklyn Oysters


The Brooklyn Paper reports that scientists are putting oysters in the New York harbor to create and combat pollution. Unfortunately, they're not for eating. However:

"Hundreds of years ago, of course, when the white man first set foot in this bivalve paradise, oysters as big as dinner plates filled the waterways of Brooklyn — and raw shellfish was sold on street corners for the next two centuries, much as hot dogs are today." Damn.
