Five surprises
Posted by Harold Henderson on 08.30.06 at 07:24 AM
- Boeing's new plane emits no CO2, only water. Of course, it's a two-seater that maxes out at 70 MPH. Treehugger picks up on a Sunday Times report. Scientific American has more.
- There's fantasy everything--even Texas high-school football and dog shows, reports Mental Floss.
- Baby math. "Babies ranging from six to nine months old looked at incorrect solutions 1.1 seconds longer than correct ones." Check it out at Seed magazine.
- Bitch. Ph.D. offers parent hacks: "3yo can be a pest, especially if she knows there is a big trip coming. Mrs. Nym bought a cheap calendar, and we're x-ing off the days. 3yo can count them down. We also draw little icons for events we're planning, which gives her a sense of what will be happening. Net result: much less pestilence. On that subject." More here.
- More porn, less rape? So claims Northwestern law prof Anthony D'Amato. Well, he has a correlation anyway. (Hat tip to Undernews.) Ann Bartow and commenter Patrick Seamus ask some hard questions at Feminist Law Professors.
