    Hi Adrian

    I was too sharp in my comment, apologies. But I was amazed that anyone could
    not notice the thing's another Onion. Check out today's top page. Look at
    the top story about time control by Iraq.

    I know that wasn't there the other day, but the corny joke headline about
    Chirac changing his name to Chiraq was.

    Doesn't matter, but since you ask, Google tells me that scrapple is
    `cornmeal mush made with the meat and broth of pork, seasoned with onions,
    spices and herbs and shaped into loaves for slicing and frying." The word,
    scrapple originates from "scrap" or "scrappy" meaning made up of odds and
    ends for that's exactly what it is - boiled, ground leftover pig scraps with
    cornmeal and spices thrown in. Scrapple lovers think of it as food for the
    gods. Anti-scrapplers consider it a culinary abomination.'
