“Widget?!“, you say?
Yes. Widget, I say. And I admit when I first saw it, I also thought that was an old pairing of words. I mean, it’s Widget!

But, like all us mere mortals have to pay taxes, so are mere technologies appropriated by all facets of government, and to the left you see a barely breathing example of the FDA Salmonella Widget.
Where do I get mine, you ask? Well, mosey on over to the FDA. Bring three forms of ID, a birth certificate, three passport-style photos…
