females in nature still finding ways to "do it" without a dude...

Interesting post on Discover Magazine's blog... about "a new species of all-female lizard that reproduces by cloning itself. There wasn’t any genetic engineering involved..."

Songs about God? 1986..

Xavier Cugat kind of week

Also add his version of the theme from "Zorba the Greek" to the playlist as well. And put it at the top of the list...

"But how did you get his consent to be an organ donor if he could not remember whether or not he agreed before?"

"In the summer of 1953, Henry Gustav Molaison (1926-2008) underwent brain surgery to contain epileptic seizures that had become critically debilitating. The intervention brought some relief from convulsions, but these positive results were overshadowed by an astonishing and indelible side effect. Soon after the operation, it became apparent that he could no longer recognize hospital staff, he did not remember the way home, he did not remember newspaper articles he had just read, nor the crossword puzzles he had solved; otherwise, he was completely normal. Since the time of the surgery, more than five decades of scrupulous neuropsychological research examined the nature of patient H.M.'s amnesia which proved to be both persistent and remarkably selective.

The goal of our project is to provide a window into the brain of the man who helped establish the scientific study of memory and unfailingly forgot the enormously generous contribution he made to medical research."

Here's the link to the video of them slicing his brain...

I overheard someone say it yesterday, so what really happens when you're "dying of boredom?" Do you just get really sick or do you actually die and go away forever? Or do you just stay bored?

Yes I know, the fucking Simpsons, but...

I don't know WHAT it is about the Simpsons, but it is like visual xanax to me. Maybe because when I was a kid it meant I was at home and wasn't at school anymore getting bored by everything.

I was eating dinner by myself the other night at my favourite Mexican food shit-hole and it was on the television above the dining area. I couldn't take my eyes away. The sound was off but I knew which episode it was and played the dialogue along in my head. And just sat there laughing all by myself and everything.

It was this episode...

lower dens kind of day
