I'm sorry, but if you're not aware of Freud's landmark book about Eastern-European headgear, I'm not going to be the one to break the news. But please, for your own sake and the sake of everyone around you, don't try to be a hero: seek psychiatric counseling immediately. And if anyone out there ever finds a black baklava, don't eat it: it's probably gone bad. And whatever you do, don't wear it on your head. It will make your hair all sticky. Take it from someone who's tried. Jon
