Four to File Under ...

A Friday Hodgepodge

I'm in a hurry, so here we go...

1. File under Who (With Any Sense) Needs to Read the Whole Thing? (but everyone will read it anyway): "Do Not Get Your Work Wife (or Husband) a Valentine's Day Card."

I can't believe these actually exist!

2. File under Equally Subtle and Heartwarming: "The Morning Person (a Carpool Story)" (Item 5).

I had to reread this because I correctly thought I was missing something.

3. File under Gross, but Potentially Lifesaving Information for Visitors to Hawaii: "Burning in Woman's Legs Turned Out to Be Slug Parasites Migrating to Her Brain."

Yes, Ars Technica can sometimes be a good source of medical information.

4. File under Why Gives Me an Ulcer Went Away as a Saying Meaning Is Stressful: "The Doctor Who Drank Infectious Broth, Gave Himself an Ulcer, and Solved a Medical Mystery."

I am old enough to remember when we didn't know what caused ulcers, and I am glad to have one less thing to worry about.
