It All Depends on the Toppings...

2005_01_17pizza.gifAccording to a recent study, there's a primal human response that attracts humans to pizza. Professor Sundaram Gunasekaran, a cheese expert at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, reports that the melting, stretching and overall oozing of the cheese on pizza triggers these urges. There’s even a name for this field of study: cheese rheology. 2005_01_17sgro.gifFormer immigration minister Judy "Hopes and Dreams" Sgro now appears to be among the population who cannot resist these cravings. In the most recent allegations against the embattled Liberal, a Toronto pizza man named Harjit Singh is claiming that he traded pizza with Sgro for political favours. Mr Singh, who has been in Canada for three years now operating a credit card scam and restaurant, says Sgro agreed to grant him asylum in return for pizza pies during the election last June. Sgro immediately denied accusations against her, though she would have a difficult time rebuking the results of the aforementioned pizza study.

If this pizza-for-power allegation were proved true, Sgro might be the first politician to resign due to a pizza-related scandal. Torontoist now awaits the new Judy Sgro-named slice at Papa Ceo's Pizza.
