Why I Write - Geo Orwell
"Writing is not a serious business. It's a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it. Ignore the authors who say 'Oh, my God, what word? Oh, Jesus Christ...', you know. Now, to hell with that. It's not work. If it's work, stop and do something else."
"And looking back through my work, I see that it is invariably where I lacked a POLITICAL purpose that I wrote lifeless books and was betrayed into purple passages, sentences without meaning, decorative adjectives and humbug generally."

The Overfalls Railroad to Canada!
I'm sure everyone has heard that Nik Wallenda crossed Niagara Falls on a tightrope on June 15, 2012. ABC required Nik to wear a harness, something that might have thrown his balance as he didn't practice with one.
The Wikipedia entry on The Flying Wallendas needs some updating. I've caught references that says the family as performers have been around for 200 years. I'm more than a little curious about this.

We Should All Be So Healthy At Our Current Age
If Grace Jones wasn't lip syncing, and I don't believe she was, she hula hooped and sang for four minutes without losing her wind. At 64. Pardon me, I'm tossing my useless carcass into the wood chipper.

Sensory Organ, Not Brain, Differentiates Male And Female Behavior In Some Mammals
When the nose, or a sensory organ in the nose, of female mice is removed, they begin behaving like male mice. All terrestrial mammals have this organ except for the higher primates.
