Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Computing: I'm not a Pinterest member -- I
spend enough time on-line as it is. But Wired
reports on a study of what
makes a Pinterest photo popular. It's been scientifically analyzed.
Health: The New York Times warns us that taking more vitamins than we need can be dangerous,
reminds us that this is unnatural, and also reminds us why the Food and
Drug Administration can't take action to prevent over-use. Industry
lobbying -- what else would be the reason?
Politics: A recent
poll says that a great majority of blacks (aka African-Americans) are
satisfied with their lives. Other findings from the poll indicate that substantially more
black men are looking for a long-term relationship than such women
are.
Science: Who knew? Mosquitoes carrying malaria are more likely
to be attracted to the smell of dirty socks than mosquitoes that
aren't carrying malaria. (From the Associated Press)
Fox News describes the oarfish,
probably the largest bony fish (sharks don't have bones) which may be
up to 50 feet in length. There's a link to a video of the animal,
swimming.

It's a good thing I wear sandals, without socks, in the summer!
ReplyDeleteThe pinterest article was interesting. I tried Pinterest, but it was too much overload for me. I was overwhelmed!
Thanks, FancyHorse. I haven't even tried Pinterest yet.
