And in related news – 60% of my lunch is products I'd never eaten 3 years ago. Namely Sainsburys pain au raisins and those evil starbucks seattle lattes

We yawn because we care
via boingboing.net
“How contagious is yawning? Enough that I’m yawning right now just from writing about it. Admittedly, I’d never given it much thought, but I always kind of assumed that contagious yawning—that tendency to pick up a yawn from the people around you and pass it on like the evil videotape in The Ring—was something all humans were susceptible to.”
Why has no one proven the existence of the yawnon yet?
Ninja Battles
Apologies for this self indulgent nonsense. But hey – Dugald fought a monkey! The sound from the Lumix DMC TZ5 always sounds fine on the camera, but awful on the PC. If anyone knows a trick to fix – help!
