In the news

There is an interesting article about human sacrifice on CNN (the sacrifice that they write about was practiced in the American Indian cultures, the article is on CNN). One quote that I especially like:

"Researchers have largely discarded the old theory that sacrifice and cannibalism were motivated by a protein shortage in the Aztec diet..."

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found that Viagra may aid in the treatment of enlarged hearts that can result from high blood pressure. Check it out, guys.

There was an unbelievable snowstorm in Boston yesterday, 60 cm or so of snow. Inquiring minds (such as my mother) want to know why such snowstorms always happen on weekends, as opposed to weekdays. Boston Logan airport is closed indefinitely. Hope they are gonna open it by fall for my visit.
