Eating dates? Are you referring to Hannibal Lechter's culinary habits?This weeks New Scientist in its Feedback column
http://www.newscientist.com/feedback/ has a story concerning the commission set up by the UK health service to investigate the unfortunate practice of keeping organs of the deceased (particularly young children) without permission from the relatives. This "Retained Organs Commission" is based at the Department of Health's huge office block at the Elephant and Castle area of London which is named Hannibal House.
The column also has a couple of other stories of interest to this forum including a reference to a reissue of the only film to be made in Esperanto, and that there are more Klingon speakers than Esperanto (but I guess the same number of native speakers
). And also a reference to RAS syndrome (Redundant Acronym Syndrome..).

PS "Elephant and Castle" is apparantly a corruption of "Infanta de Castille"
