soapbox

Point and counterpoint:

Crazy: There’s a yahoo news story right now about a grandma who was selling heroin in LA and using her 11 year old grand daughter as a lookout. She got caught. Here’s the thing though, “grandma” was 39 years old. Do the math: 39-11=28 years. And you have to fit two generations in there.

Not so crazy: Senator Ted Stevens is in a bit of trouble because it’s not exactly clear who paid the bills for his house renovation. Of course, Mr. “Series of Tubes” is about as dirty as they get in the senate so it’s about time.

Scientists have finally isolated a gene (LRRTM1) that appears to increase the odds of being left-handed by inverting the functions of each side of the brain - one side controlling speech and language and the other governing emotion/creativity/etc.

So, all I need is a bit dose of  stem cells, a bit of gene therapy, and I could finally be normal!
