Someone sent me a link to this cool picture. It’s an animated .gif showing how the modern Latin alphabet (ours) developed over the last three millenia.

Two-Penny Words would like to say happy birthday to Charles Darwin.
Those of you in Philly who are not completely snowed in may want to head to Penn’s Archeology and Anthropology museum, where they are having a party for Darwin—assuming they aren’t snowed in, too.

It seems we really don’t know very much about nutrition. For one thing, it appears that limiting the fat in one’s diet doesn’t really have many benefits. It doesn’t appear to prevent breast cancer, colon cancer, or heart disease. In addition, trying to make school food more nutritious doesn’t appear to reduce their levels of obesity.
The good news is that you can probably eat what you want. Unfortunately, I can’t say whether that decision will have long term consequences or not.
