Technically, the best french fries are made in horse fat.
But to my knowledge, only 1, perhaps 2, shop still do so.
Good places use beef fat.
bad places use vegetable oil.

Nokia 770 or n800
I own a 770, it does an amazing job as handheld web browser/ebook reader.
With fbreader, you can rotate the text and hold the reader vertically in one hand, the thumb right on the pageup/page down switch.
I don't like reading pdf on it, however.
Too slow.
The n800 may have the memory and processor to handle large pdf. I never tried it, however.
Otherwise, an eee is great too.
Way bigger, but i think it could be usable in an hammock,

Space Litter To Hit Earth Tomorrow 443
A refrigerator-sized tank of toxic ammonia, tossed from the international space station last year, is expected to hit earth tomorrow afternoon or evening. The 1,400-pound object was deliberately jettisoned — by hand — from the ISS's robot arm in July 2007. Since the time of re-entry is uncertain, so is the location. "NASA expects up to 15 pieces of the tank to survive the searing hot temperatures of re-entry, ranging in size from about 1.4 ounces (40 grams) to nearly 40 pounds (17.5 kilograms). ... [T]he largest pieces could slam into the Earth's surface at about 100 mph (161 kph). ...'If anybody found a piece of anything on the ground Monday morning, I would hope they wouldn't get too close to it,' [a NASA spokesman] said."
