Yeah, I think just looking at that causes vertigo as well. So, not only will you feel like you're falling but eventually you will and all those steps...ouch!

Argh! Insomnia is the pits. I try to sleep but I can't so what do I do...I try to zone out in the most comfortable way possible. I turn off all the lights and focus on one point on the ceiling and then start counting backwards. Eventually, if I don't become cross-eyed I fall asleep.

Are we sure it just isn't a very big cat?

Neato Babies! :D Congrats to all the parents.

Wow. I think I have a real dirty mind when I read this. Couldn't stop giggling like an idiot. ;)

Hey! I know where that is! :D

Very useful. I can't for the life of me remember which button to hold, press, chant a mantra, or wave a chicken over my head to get some symbols!

Ha! Loved the expressions.

Wow. Alex, top notch article! Savants have always amazed me with their ability to do things impossible to people with "fully" developed brains. It's also quite interesting to see that scientists are also trying to find ways to create savants not through physical trauma...but through pills and stimulants directly to the brain. Who knows...perhaps in a decade or so we'll be able to pop a pill that stimulates a certain part of our brain and allows to temporarily do amazing things like these folks.

Now that was...interesting!

Nutmeg is a dangerous substitute to drugs which have been well documented. Don't know how many times an ambulance had to cart off one of the freshmen back in my Dorm because some got the idea that Nutmeg was an awesome marijuana substitute!

Looks sorta like a tumbledryer to me.

Oooh! So many creepy sounds. Those sounds from the ocean are the real keepers since we haven't explored all of the depths of the Big Blue we may soon find out...or regret finding. :o

Cool idea. It's a nice way to realize that a person did infact create that product.

See I would love to see a place like this because for once the cats look like they are enjoying themselves AND they are up for adoption! Take that crazy cat ladies (and guys...there are some!) you don't have to hoard all the kitties for yourselves!
