16 ’Av 5767: Parent’s Day

Greetings.

Strangely-named gene of the day: X BOX-BINDING PROTEIN 1.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Don Quixote (1977)”
  
• “Personal Health Beliefs Are Largely Hit and Myth”
  
• “On Feldman and Boteach”
  
• “Eclyse the Zorse”
  
• “Interesting Times: Out of the valley”
  
• “Stronger Link Found between Hurricanes and Global Warming”
  
• “MIT duo see people-powered "Crowd Farm"”
  
• “Mystery money in Japan appears in mailboxes, falls from sky”

Today’s weird thing, submitted to me by Erin, is the Rejection Hotline, for when you want to dump somebody but don’t know how. (No, she has not rejected me. She just thought it was funny.) Enjoy and share the weirdness.
