My family is really into Thanksgiving, which I've always liked as a holiday. Turkey, desserts, football, family, what's not to like? This year, however, my kid sister was complaining that we should skip eating turkey because it has an abnormally high amount of "triptofan" [ed: it's actually spelled tryptophan]. What is tryptophan and why should we avoid it?

This is a random bit of trivia, but why the heck do they call the day after Thanksgiving "black friday"? Seems kinda racist to me, but I'm sure I am thinking about it wrong...

Having just eaten a huge turkey dinner for Thanksgiving, I'm sitting lazily by my computer and wondering why turkey always makes me sleepy. I've heard that there's something called triptofan (tryptofan? tryptophan?) in turkey that does this, but I'm skeptical. What's the scoop, Dave?
