Money and Other Subjects

Health Myths

December 17, 2015December 18, 2015

Get plenty of sleep, plenty of moderate exercise — walk a lot! — don’t eat much (saves time, money, and the planet), but do eat loads of raw fruit and vegetables . . . avoid stress, even as you engage in mankind’s struggle . . . but as to the rest?  The vitamin supplements, anti-oxidants and all that?  Consider The Science Myths That Will Not Die, from Nature, The International Weekly Journal of Science.  It may save you money.  (Thanks, Jim!)




Peter: “WheelTug would have prevented this gruesome tragedy yesterday: Man Dies After Being Sucked Into Aircraft Engine At Mumbai Airport.”

☞ Yikes.




I botched yesterday’s link to the family of elephants who, quite wonderfully, show up in a Zambian hotel lobby each year; but the estimable Paul Lerman had no trouble accessing it anyway — and reports that it brought immediately to mind an Elizabeth Taylor film in which elephants walk through a different lobby, and in a decidedly less affable way.  Trailer here.

Have a great weekend,

Monday: Evenwel.

Quote of the Day

"Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man’s greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce."

John Kenneth Galbraith, The Age of Uncertainty
