Greetings.
I was thinking of making today’s weird thing the article “Heel thyself”, but then I realized that I knew of something relevant to today’s weird holiday: the song “Biostat Division Blues” (lyrics and music). Enjoy or be confused or something.

The connection between schizophrenia and footwear with heels is rather shaky. Although there has been a lot of work on schizophrenia, how the known neurophysiological deficits relate to schizophrenic behavior is not well understood. (Translation: We do not understand how the nervous system works terribly well. Hence we do not understand why things go wrong with the nervous system terribly well either.) The explanation given sounded like highly speculative and I would not put much stock in it without a considerable amount of supporting evidence. Despite the reasons for supposing there was a connection, the support was weak and subject to alternate, often more plausible explanations (e.g., upper classes seem to be affected by schizophrenia first because historically much more is recorded about the upper classes than everyone else).
