palordrolap, to news in Rupert Murdoch, media mogul and force behind Fox, steps down

Unfortunately, his son Lachlan is said to be pretty much equivalent, which if true, means not much will change.

It'd be great if Lachy has been pulling a massive bait-and-switch on his dad, but that'll be the most laughably naïve hope I've had in a while.

A big twist could be that he actually does this but then goes back on it the moment the shock kills off his dad. Sweet, sweet, early inheritance. Very Murdochian. And forty more days of winter years of Fox being Fox for the rest of us.

palordrolap, to science in The Hidden Brain Connections Between Our Hands and Tongues

Caution: This comment contains mildly infuriating party tricks.

Curious. This reminds me of the "Your tongue knows what things you look at will feel like" meme that did the rounds a while back. (If you missed it, it was literally that phrase, possibly with some kind of image.)

Reading the article, it also reminds me of the body confusion trick of moving the right foot around in a clockwise motion while trying to write the letter O a few times (which most people write anticlockwise). Most people will inadvertently reverse the rotation of their foot.

(Make necessary changes if you're left handed and/or write your O's clockwise.)

Or the two hands equivalent: Pointing away from yourself, move the tips of the index fingers around in a clockwise or anticlockwise motion, keeping the fingers parallel. Then, continuing the rotation, turn the hands inwards so that they point towards each other. If they're now both going over and away or over and towards, one of them has changed direction.

palordrolap, to news in Company pulls spicy One Chip Challenge from store shelves as Massachusetts investigates teen's death

You might be right. There are three currently known different kinds of spicy.

Still plenty of unknowns at play though. There might be situations whereby an apparent immunity is suddenly lacking.
