		<description>Not funny, but for Today&#039;s Most Interesting Paragraph, here&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/23/books/review/Jones-t.html?ref=books&amp;pagewanted=all&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;my candidate&lt;/a&gt; (so far):

&lt;blockquote&gt;Hölldobler and Wilson’s central conceit is that a colony is a single animal raised to a higher level. Each insect is a cell, its castes are organs, its queens are its genitals, the wasps that stung me are an equivalent of an immune system. In the same way, the foragers are eyes and ears, and the colony’s rules of development determine its shape and size. The hive has no brain, but the iron laws of cooperation give the impression of planning. Teamwork pays; in a survey of one piece of Amazonian rain forest, social insects accounted for 80 percent of the total biomass, with ants alone weighing four times as much as all its mammals, birds, lizards, snakes and frogs put together. The world holds as much ant flesh as it does that of humans.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>That&#039;s not today&#039;s best, but it&#039;s probably the years best .  I don&#039;t think I have ever seen a sentence take three such dramatic shifts in direction-- first, uh, then the pasta jar, and then the high speed police chase.   What a lede sentence.</description>

		<description>Oh, I don&#039;t know.  I just sent you a link to one that I  think trumps this one.  But to be fair it&#039;s from three days ago in Australia.</description>
