I bet your head is perfectly fine no matter how you see people write about organs.

I'm going to go lie down now.

Wow...

That was... very... abstruse...

Now I could pretend it was an intended pun but.. it wasn't. Thanks for making me laugh my head off.

You guys using esses where there ought to be zees is making my eyes hurt. Thank gods there wasn't any discussion involving hue or saturation or my head may well have exploded.

See what too many anthropology and sociology textbooks do to you?

I'm reading Consilience right now. It hurts, but in a good way.

From Library Journal
Historically, all of the sciences were once united under the rubric of "natural science." Over time, they became fragmented and specialized. Nevertheless, Wilson argues that there is a genetic and neurological basis for knowledge and that all subjects of human inquiry can be reunited under the umbrella of "consilience."

I thought you were going to go and put your head down.

Come on jag, you can't have them on that, even their president's name makes full use of it: 'George Double U Bush'.

I would but there isn't a flat surface in here that isn't covered in books. Sleeping requires a good half-hour cleanup first.
Read Foucault's Madness & Civilization. That made my eyes bleed within pages.

My Latin teacher in Junior High School gave me "Foucault's Pendulum". I later learned that he was also an SAT-prep teacher, and "Foucault's Pendulum" had most of the vocabulary words on the test...

bit of trivia, poorly presented: There's one group of people (maybe some African tribe or aboriginal Australian bunch) who define romantic love by that tight feeling you get in your throat. They use "throat" the way we use "heart" -- giggly girls put their hands over their throats when they're talking about someone they have a crush on.

That seems more accurate than what we do. Except I can't stop the porn jokes from filling my brain (I'll spare you).

If it's my world why would there be any contest? It's the gnomes again, isn't it?

cowhead 05-17-2005 01:33 PM

usually my head.. unless my heart gets involved.. damn emotions! (naw, can't live without them.. I tried)

Shifting body parts, are you really asking right or left brainedness?
