    I won’t deny it — I get pretty neurotic when I’m chopping stuff in my kitchen. I was just fretting over some barbecued pork earlier that I simply couldn’t slice into pieces of equal width. Cheese is like that too, and of course celery. Maybe I’m crazy (I’m crazy), but I think we can all agree that this measurement-covered cutting board is a pretty good idea.

    I mean, look at it. It’s got a protractor on there! And all the little grids? Magical.

    Unfortunately it doesn’t have any method of chopping things exactly down the line, like those big paper choppers we used to use at school. That would be handy, and you could measure out your carrot sticks extra-precisely. I guess I’ll have to keep on guesstimating and hope nobody notices that the cheddar cubes are, strictly speaking, rectangular solids.
