Origins of the things we do and say
12/18/2003 01:01 PMThe vast majority of actions or words we use today are things we saw
or heard from others. Many of these things we put too little thought
into. Some questions we can ask ourselves can lead to interesting
facts. Why do some countries drive on the right and others on the
left? Why do we say "bless you" when someone sneezes? Why did
rounded knifes appear in 1669? And why do we hit glasses when
drinking amongst friends? Answers to these questions and other
anecdotes follow for the pleasure of the reader. Some of them are
just stories I heard, others I've read in a book or online. In all
cases I could be wrong. You as the reader can participate in
debunking any of the stories I present.

Historical origins of obesity
Historical origins of obesity
05/27/2004 02:52 AMLong, interesting Harvard Magazine article about the historical shifts
in diet and lifestyle that led to America's obesity epidemic.
"We are not adapted to handle fast-acting carbohydrates," Ludwig
continues. "Glucose is the gold standard of energy metabolism. The
brain is exquisitely dependent on having a continuous supply of
glucose: too low a glucose level poses an immediate threat to
survival. [But] too high a level causes damage to tissues, as with
diabetes. The body is designed to keep blood glucose within a tight
range, and it does this beautifully, even with extreme nutrient
ratios: we can survive indefinitely on a diet of 60 percent
carbohydrates and 20 percent fat, or 20 percent carbohydrates and 60
percent fat. But we never [before] had to assimilate a heavy dose of
high-glycemic carbohydrates."

Click on thumbnail pics in this post for full-size. Following up on
yesterday's Boing Boing post about the forthcoming Christie's
auction "The Origins of Cyberspace," reader
Mike Ransom says:
"One of the items in this auction is the Brainiac Electric Brain
Kit, circa 1966 (aka Geniac in the U.S) Insulated wire,
battery box, circular masonite multiple-switch disks, and brass
jumpers. A kit to teach children the principles of electronic digital
computing, designed by Edmund Berkeley, who worked on the Harvard Mark
I and II computers.
Value: $800-1,200.
"Here is a picture of me in 1967 with a Geniac, an analog computer, a
Think-A-Dot, Digi-Comp I and Dr. Nim. I just posted it to the photo
section of a Yahoo Group devoted to these early mechanical computers:
Link.
"Almost 40 years later, I only have the Digi-Comp I and the one on
which I'm typing this note."

"What Do You
Believe Is True Even Though You Can't Prove It?" For its 2005
"World Question," Edge.org invited a "who's who of
third culture scientists and science-minded thinkers" to respond
to the following:
"Great minds can sometimes guess the truth
before they have either the evidence or arguments for it (Diderot
called it having the "esprit de divination"). What do you
believe is true even though you cannot prove it?" They
received 118 responses,
some of which are also excerpted
here. (See also
2003,

“Meteors are unpredictable. You never know, not exactly, when
one will streak across the sky. Not so on Wednesday, September 8th. At
precisely 8:52:46 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), northwest of Bend,
Oregon, a fireball will appear: a white-hot dot of light, brighter
than the planet Venus, gliding across the blue morning sky. This is no
ordinary meteor. It’s a space capsule jettisoned by NASA’s
Genesis spacecraft, returning to Earth with precious samples of

I just got email from an old friend who told me that one of my old
friends who I haven't seen for years, Genesis P-Orridge has breasts
now. There is a picture of him and his breasts on his site, which turns out
to be a blog. Yay!
I first saw Genesis probably about 15 years ago when he came to
Japan and performed a penis piercing on stage at at event that was
sponsored by Sony, Silicon Graphics and a bunch of other big name
companies. It was produced by Professor Mitsuhiro Takemura. Japanese
companies sponsored a lot of sub-culture stuff back then...
I first actually talked to Genesis when I interviewed him for a
Japanese magazine and he was in Japan for a Psychic TV concert. Later,
we became friends. I remember going to stay at his house and thinking,
as I slept on his sofa, that the sound of the dozens of the body
piercings jangling as he walked around the house naked sounded a
skeleton with chains in some movie or something.
Looking at his blog, I'm glad to see that it looks like he's doing
well. I also just noticed that he looks a lot like Kiefer Sutherland. (I'm watching 24 right now.)
Anyway, if you see this, "Hi Gen!"
