| Friday Dec 21, 2001 | Former Saturday Night Live funny lady Victoria Jackson is best remembered for her Betty Boop voice, wacky poetry, and predilection for handstands. Skim her Web site and you will discover she is also an accomplished ukuleleist, comic songwriter, and, surprisingly, more Christian than the Church Lady (though less obnoxious about it). Say, did I mention the handstands? Gulp. to Entertainment by fatherdan |

As a service to the interactive design community he recently released a copy of his hard drive for sale on cd-rom. Now he's taken it a step further to act of ultimate sacrifice. Beginning this January, you too can own your very own copy of Joshua Davis himself. to Flash by mrnonrespondo |

| V.S. Ramachandran
is one of the leading researchers of
phantom limb pain.
Scientists used to think the reason people experienced pain in their amputated
limbs was because of nerves that were not fully severed, and would
do
further amputations to treat the problem. (Which didn't help at all).
Through his research, Ramachandran discovered that what was
actually happening was that the brain's
map of the body was
incorrectly remapped.
After publishing his theory, he started getting all kinds of
letters
from people, including some very
weird ones about people who experience orgasms in their feet (which
might explain
where
foot fetishes
come from).
While working with one patient, Ramachandran came up with a very ingenious
solution using a simple configuration of
mirrors to teach the brain the correct mappings.

| Downtrodden intellectual? Fight back by smartly providing etymologies of your tormentor's aspersions: a geek is a side-show attraction (typically without physical deformity) who performs grotesque spectacles like biting the head off of live chickens. The term nerd was evidently coined by Dr. Seuss in If I Ran the Zoo (1950). Lastly, a dork is apparently derived from the rhyming slang for male genitalia. However some have it that dork is actually the term for whale penis.

| Monday Dec 17, 2001 | Prosopagnosia is the medical term for "face blindness" -- a condition which causes an inability to recognize others by their faces. Sufferers can still see faces but don't have any special facility for identification, nor can they remember faces. Some are born with it, some discover it in themselves, and some develop it.
