Left Nostril Breathing

(July 7th, 2010 under Fun Stuff )

I do not make this stuff up folks!  If you forget where you put your glasses, cell phone, etc. then here is a possible cure:  “It turns out that one of their simplest techniques — left-nostril breathing — improves spatial memory.

A Favorite Hymn

(June 29th, 2010 under Fun Stuff )

(June 18th, 2010 under Announcements, Fun Stuff )

Just the facts: Rapper P Ditty’s son turned 16.  He cannot drive, as he has no license.  His father threw him a party at Manhattan’s M2 Ultralounge.  Rappers Fabolous, Lil’ Kim, and Jim Jones all performed.  The cast from Jersey Shore attended the party (no doubt for a fee).  Ditty also bought his son a [...]

Early Draft of the Constitution Discovered

(February 3rd, 2010 under Fun Stuff , History, Uncategorized)

(This author will confess that he loves these kind of discoveries!)  It was known that on the back of one draft of the Constitution was another text by James Wilson, but that version stopped abruptly.   The rest of that early draft has now been “discovered” and may be placed with the other drafts of the [...]

Year End Fun

(December 16th, 2009 under Fun Stuff )

There is a regular article on Slate.com magazine which answers more or less scientific questions.  It is called “the Explainer.”   At the end of every year, they list the questions which were submitted that they chose not to answer.  Then they ask readers to choose one which indeed will be answered at the first of [...]
