27 Kislew 5767 * 18 December 2006: Hanukkah (day 3)/Bake Cookies Day

Greetings.

Relevant to today’s quasi-holiday: Wikipedia’s “Cookie” article.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Chanukah”
  
• “Hanukka and the limits of pluralism”
  
• “The Neglected Tropical Diseases”
  
• “The World's First Neural Stem Cell Transplant”
  
• “ATM Theft” (Submitted by Harold.)
  
• “Research: Brainwaves move humanoid robot”
  
• “What Is a Planet?”
  
• “Humans can scent-track”
  
• “Meet Resistance Head-On”
  

Today’s weird thing is the Inauthentic Paper Detector. It correctly decided that my latest paper was authentic (probability = 0.953). Enjoy and share the weirdness.
