why wy?

Instead of a form letter, I got a personally autographed copy of cerebus! It all started on neil's website and here too. So I sent a letter to Canada, telling Dave Sim about the weather, about osteo and finishing with some forearm stretches for the wrists. (He was signing over 1,000 copies at this time).

Dave writes: Actually my hands are still okay - years of practice taught me not to hold the pen very tightly... but thanks for the tip.
And he drew a smiling cerebus below that. Will put up a scan when I have the time.

Some time ago, a futurama episode featured the professor developing a giant smellometer for space. Now, nasa is developing a nose for space, no kidding.

Our anatomy lecturer told us about families who had a genetic defect, so the boys start out as girls and turn into boys at puberty. Finally found a reference here and here on the net. Unless you live in the Dominican Republic or Pupua New Guinea, it's nothing to worry about. Now, does anyone know the truth about the Italian cheese-worm delicacy, do the worms eat each other and then you eat the last worm standing?

Philosophy related, we were watching the iron chef, and the challenger went to Italy and studied under an Italian chef who doesn't believe in cooking the same dish twice. Anyhow, he returned to Japan but decided to give it up - and became a taxi driver - because there wasn't a restaurant up to his standards. It reminded me of the confucian gentleman, who puts himself away like an umbrella (i think) when the Way is not in practice.
By the way, the taxi driver-cook won.
