Donuts are like Kittens
They’re soft
They’re cute
They’re small
They’re rounded
They come in different colors…maybe with stripes
Everybody wants one…or two…possibly three
Both taste great with frosting
Come have a donut, not a kitten, at 10:00. Donuts courtesy of Ric Brodeur. Thanks, Ric!

Donut Facts
In July 2008 the oldest unopened package of Hostess Donuts was discovered inside a sideboard in Torosay Castle, Isle of Mull, Scotland. The 1893 package was in mint condition, having been kept in the dark. It is now on display at the Hostess visitor centre in Reims, France and is regarded as priceless.
In September 2009 the discovery of Crullerus sinensis, a fossilised donut closely related to the common ancestor of the Old World crullers, is announced.
October 1925: Cruller-donut controversy: High school biology teacher Don P. Snopes was found guilty of violating Tennessee's Bismarck Act by eating a donut in class.

Snugglebunny and the Dozen Donuts
One day, SnuggleBunny decided to go visit his friend, Magpie. On the way to Magpie's house, he stopped at the local donuteria for a dozen of his favorite, chocolate glazed donuts.
A short time later, he arrived at Magpie's house and knocked on the door.
"Come, sit down in my parlor and we will enjoy the dozen donuts you have brought," said Magpie.
They sat down on either side of the coffee table.
Then, just as SnuggleBunny reached out to untie the ribbon, open the box, and take his first donut, Magpie said "Wait. We should have coffee with our donuts. Could you run to my kitchen and get the coffee? It is ready on the stove."
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the kitchen, came back with the coffee and two mugs, and sat down.
"Now we can enjoy the eleven donuts you have brought, and our hot coffee," said Magpie.
"Eleven? I thought I brought a dozen with me?" said SnuggleBunny.
"No," said Magpie. "See, the box is still closed, and the ribbon still tied."
"OK, I guess it is as you say," said SnuggleBunny. He reached to untie the ribbon.
"Wait. I enjoy taking cream with my coffee," said Magpie. "Could you not run to the kitchen and bring the cream from the icebox?"
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the kitchen, came back with a pitcher of cream, and sat down.
"Now we can enjoy the ten donuts you have brought, and our hot coffee with cream," said Magpie.
"Ten? I thought I brought eleven with me?" said SnuggleBunny.
"No," said Magpie. "See, the box is still closed, and the ribbon still tied."
"OK, I guess it is as you say," said SnuggleBunny. But, he thought he saw chocolatey fingerprints on the ribbon. He reached to untie the ribbon.
"Wait. I enjoy two lumps of sugar in my coffee," said Magpie. "Could you not run to the kitchen and bring the sugar from the pantry?"
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the kitchen, came back with the sugar bowl, and sat down.
"Now we can enjoy the nine donuts you have brought, and our hot coffee with cream and sugar," said Magpie.
"Nine? I thought I brought ten with me?" said SnuggleBunny.
"No," said Magpie. "See, the box is still closed, and the ribbon still tied."
"OK, I guess it is as you say," said SnuggleBunny. But, he thought the ribbon was starting to look quite sticky, and a little bit frayed.
He reached to untie the ribbon.
Just as he untied the ribbon, Magpie said, "wait. I need a teaspoon to stir my coffee. Could you not run to the kitchen and bring a teaspoon from the drawer?"
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the kitchen, came back with a teaspoon, and sat down.
"Now we can enjoy the eight donuts you have brought, and our hot coffee with cream and sugar, well-stirred" said Magpie.
"Eight? I thought I brought nine with me?" said SnuggleBunny.
"No," said Magpie. "See, the box is still neatly closed."
"OK, I guess it is as you say," said SnuggleBunny. He reached to open the box.
"Wait," said Magpie. "Should we not have napkins, in case our fingers get sticky? Could you not run to the linen cupboard and get my best napkins?"
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the linen cupboard, came back with two napkins, and sat down.
"Now we can enjoy the seven donuts you have brought, with our napkins and our hot coffee with cream and sugar, well-stirred," said Magpie.
"Seven? I thought I brought eight with me?" said SnuggleBunny.
"No," said Magpie. "See, the box is still neatly closed."
"OK, I guess it is as you say," said SnuggleBunny. But, he thought the box wasn't quite as neatly closed as before. He reached to open the box.
"Wait," said Magpie. "Should we not have saucers to place our donuts on? Run to the sideboard and bring back two saucers, if you please."
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the sideboard, came back with two saucers, and sat down.
"Now we can enjoy the six donuts you have brought, on our saucers, with our napkins and our hot coffee with cream and sugar, well-stirred," said Magpie.
"Six? I thought I brought seven with me?" said SnuggleBunny.
"No," said Magpie. "See, the box is still neatly closed."
"OK, I guess it is as you say," said SnuggleBunny. But, he thought the box had sticky fingerprints around the flaps. He reached to open the box.
"Wait," said Magpie. "Should we not have music with our donuts? Bring the radio in from the drawing room, if you please."
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the drawing room, came back with the radio, and sat down.
"Now we can enjoy the five donuts you have brought, on our saucers, with our napkins and our hot coffee with cream and sugar, well-stirred, with music" said Magpie.
"Five? I thought I brought six with me?" said SnuggleBunny.
"No," said Magpie. "See, the box is still neatly closed."
"OK, I guess it is as you say," said SnuggleBunny. But, he thought the box was definitely not neatly closed anymore. He reached to open the box.
Just as he opened the box, Magpie said, "wait. It is impolite not to have salt and pepper on the table at mealtimes. Could you not run to the dining room and get the salt and pepper?"
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the dining room, came back with the salt and pepper, and sat down.
"Now we can enjoy the four donuts you have brought, on our saucers, with our napkins and our hot coffee with cream and sugar, well-stirred, with music, and salt and pepper," said Magpie.
"Four? I thought I brought five with me?" said SnuggleBunny.
"No," said Magpie. "See, the donuts are as you left them."
"OK, I guess it is as you say," said SnuggleBunny. But, he thought there were fewer donuts than before. He reached for his first donut.
"Wait," said Magpie. "Taking donuts directly from the box is impolite. Could you not get a serving platter from the sideboard, if you please?"
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the sideboard, came back with a beautiful platter, and sat down.
"Now we can enjoy the three donuts you have brought, served from the platter onto our saucers, with our napkins and our hot coffee with cream and sugar, well-stirred, with music, and salt and pepper," said Magpie.
"Three? I thought I brought four with me?" said SnuggleBunny.
"No," said Magpie. "See, the donuts are as you left them."
"OK, I guess it is as you say," said SnuggleBunny. But, now he thought there were far fewer donuts than before. He arranged the three donuts on the serving platter and then reached for his first donut.
"Wait," said Magpie. "It is impolite to serve yourself with your hands. Could you not get a fish slice from the drawer, if you please?"
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the drawer, came back with a silver fish slice, and sat down.
"Now we can enjoy the two donuts you have brought, served with the fish slice from the platter onto our saucers, with our napkins and our hot coffee with cream and sugar, well-stirred, with music, and salt and pepper," said Magpie.
"Two? I thought I brought three with me?" said SnuggleBunny.
"No," said Magpie. "See, the donuts are on the platter, as you left them."
"OK, I guess it is as you say," said SnuggleBunny. But, he realized that the donuts he brought had almost all gone. He reached for his first donut.
"Wait," said Magpie. "I have just remembered that I have shortbread in my pantry. Could we not use it to supplement the donuts you have brought? Bring it in, would you?"
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the pantry, but the pantry was bare. He came back empty-handed and sat down.
"I have just remembered that I ate the last bit of shortbread last week. At least we can enjoy the donut you have brought, served with the fish slice from the platter onto our saucers, with our napkins and our hot coffee with cream and sugar, well-stirred, with music, and salt and pepper, but without shortbread," said Magpie.
"One? I thought I brought two with me?" said SnuggleBunny.
"No," said Magpie. "See, the donut is on the platter, as you left it."
"OK, I guess it is as you say," said SnuggleBunny. "But how should we divide the donut?"
"Bring a knife from the kitchen, if you please," said Magpie.
"OK. I'll be right back," said SnuggleBunny.
SnuggleBunny hopped to the kitchen, came back with knife, and sat down.
To his surprise, the donut was still there. Then he noticed that Magpie was looking a little bit green.
"I will slice the donut, and you can choose which half you want," said SnuggleBunny.
He sliced the donut, and Magpie chose the smaller half. Snugglebunny served the pieces out and said, "Finally, we can enjoy the donut I have brought, served, half each, from the platter onto our saucers with the fish slice, with our napkins and our hot coffee with cream and sugar, well-stirred, with music, and salt and pepper, but sadly, without your delicious shortbread, Magpie."
Then, he ate his half donut with relish, enjoying every bite.
Moral: Gluttony is its own reward.

Donut Greetings from Haverdal, Sweden! As you can see from the attached picture, I've been dilligently trying the local donuts while on vacation. Overall, the salt licorice and dill donuts are probably the best, while the herring and crayfish donuts will take some getting used to. Frankly, given the local options, I miss being at Wednesday donuts with all of you. I'll be home to entertain you all at donuts soon with lots of boring stories of sitting around and reading, or kicking the soccerball with my brother. Good times. See you in a couple of weeks!

Sad About Donuts
As some of you already know, having finished my degree, and finally turned in my dissertation, I'm taking a short vacation in Sweden before I start the next job at Hatfield. Although the trip over here was plenty long, it went reasonably smoothly (although after 25 hours awake I forgot my carryon bag on the train). The weather has been absolutely beautiful (clear skies, mid-70s: got a bit sunburned yesterday), and we've already managed to go swimming a couple of times in the Baltic. The tragic thing is, I'm missing my precious donuts for three whole weeks. I don't know how I'll cope without my weekly dose of caffeine and conversation. Anyhow, I'll get by somehow. Missing you all terribly!

Dear Dr. Donut
Dear Dr. Donut,
Is it true that donuts make you fat?
Sincerely,
Flabby in Fremont
Dear Flabby,
Donuts in particular are not going to make you fat. Any calories consumed that are not used to fuel activity are stored, so most foods can make you fat, if you overindulge. My advice? Stop worrying. Being fat isn’t the end of the world.
Good luck!
Dr. Donut
Dear Dr. Donut,
Will donuts make me more attractive to the opposite sex?
Yours Truly,
Hopeful in Houston
Dear Hopeful,
Absolutely. Also, donuts will make you smarter, fitter, and will improve your performance in the bedroom. In fact, donut consumption has been correlated with increased wealth. So, it might make you rich, too.
Your friend,

Donut Encore!
Since we have so many generous souls here at Hatfield, there was an overabundance of donuts among the other goodies at the Markham Symposium this morning. To disperse this caloric overload, Candace suggested having a Donut Wednesday Encore tomorrow (Thursday) at 10:00. Stop by, grab a day-old, and say hello to all those people you haven’t seen since Wednesday donuts this morning.

FIDE World Cup
The FIDE World Cup, also called the Donut World Cup or the Doughnut World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international donut eating competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Donut Eating (FIDE), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not contested because of the Second World War.
The current format of the tournament involves 32 teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over a period of about a month – this phase is often called the World Cup Finals. A qualification phase, which currently takes place over the preceding three years, is used to determine which teams qualify for the tournament together with the host nation(s).
During the 18 tournaments that have been held, seven national teams have won the title. The United States have won the World Cup a record five times, and they are the only team to have played in every tournament. Sweden, the current champions, have won four titles, and Germany are next with three titles. The other former champions are Canada, winners of the inaugural tournament, and American Samoa, with two titles, and England and France, with one title each.
The World Cup is the least widely viewed sporting event in the world; an estimated 715.1 million people watched the final match of the 2006 World Cup held in Germany. The current World Cup is being held at Dunkin Donuts, between 11 June and 11 July 2010, and the 2014 World Cup will be held at Krispy Kreme.

Transitions, and Stability (donuts)
I’m nearing the end of my PhD, and thinking about my time as a student, and about the future. This is going to be a rare serious donut email. A lot has changed for me recently, and a lot is about to change. At times like this, I can’t help but cling to the things that are stable, and friendly, and safe. Obviously, Wednesday donuts is one of those things. This is a great community, because of the traditions we have together. I know that most of you feel the same way. This is a very special place, and if we leave it, I don’t think we’ll ever experience its like again. Now, come support the best tradition we’ve got by coming to donuts tomorrow.
