India nominates vegetarian for top UN job

kunsjoi reports that India has picked a candidate for the UN’s secretary general job. I don’t know if it’s possible to pick someone cooler than fan favourite Boutros-Boutros Ghali, who served from 1992-1996, and whose name, let’s face it, was just plain fun to say, but Shashi Tharoor might just have my (non-binding) vote: he’s a pure vegetarian.
