Congrats to Citra, who was Indonesia’s Fulbrighter of the month!  Her involvement in Indonesian Journalism, her against-all-odds life story, and her internationalism, among other things, are quite impressive!

Wow, I definitely saw Kobayashi being carried around by people during the contest…but he got arrested afterward?  I take his side – he shouldn’t have to sign a contract for the American eating league – first, because that’s a joke, right, and second, because HE IS A SIX-TIME CHAMPION OF THE EVENT!

Let him eat!  Let him eat!

A novel approach to protecting oneself against rapists.  He does have to insert for this device to be deployed.  See the pictures…

Is the difference attributable to schizophrenics just having less inhibitions than creatives, or do creatives get better control of their thought patterns to avoid becoming schizophrenic?

Explanation by pull quote:

“Fewer D2 receptors in the thalamus probably means a lower degree of signal filtering, and thus a higher flow of information from the thalamus,” said Professor Ullen.

Cool pull quotes:

“Creativity is uncomfortable. It is their dissatisfaction with the present that drives them on to make changes.”

“Creativity is certainly about not being constrained by rules or accepting the restrictions that society places on us. Of course the more people break the rules, the more likely they are to be perceived as ‘mentally ill’.”
