Many scientific studies are coming out now showing a connection between over cleanliness and allergies. Here we are trying to protect ourselves from plague, rotting teeth, rates, and syphallis of yesturyear, and just when we got the bath thing down, they tell us we’re overdoing it!

contortion of extremeties

Posted by admin on Aug 17 2006 | Weird, Bizarre + Funny, art

If you’re interested in the extremes of the human condition, then I think contortion will always be intriguing. Are these people unusually flexible naturally, or able to endur regular pain to reach incredible heights. Probably a bit of both.

You all better get your ass on top of Quetzalcoatl, or at the very least, read Pinchbecks new novel.

BTW, just found out how to pronounce that. It’s something like KATE-ZEL-KWAT.

do you know there are laws in war?

Posted by admin on Aug 17 2006 | World Events + History

The former refers to limits to the madness of war, a la the Geneva Conventions, and what is are war crimes. The latter refers to justifications for war.

here we go again: body language + charm

Posted by admin on Aug 17 2006 | Matters of the Heart + Human Nature

A couple of interesting articles, one on smiles + body language and the other on how to be charming or how to charm… It’s funny, now that I think about it, to be charming, is almost always positive, endearing, and attractive, while to charm, is sometimes derogatory, snake-like…
