random things i read today that intrigued me

"Dutch researchers report that at a blood alcohol level of 0.04% - reached by drinking two glasses of wine in less than an hour - the brain's 'oops' response stops working properly and people no longer realize they have made a mistake." ... oooh...

Princeton scholar Julian Jaynes says the greatest scientific and mathematical discoveries happen in the "Three Bs: the bed, the bath, and the bus." .. umm... offices and labs must be the least conducive places then!.... sigh..

A Taiwanese couple that has been married for 85 years (!!!) is the new Guinness Book of World Records champ for the longest marriage. Each over 100 years old, the two have a total of 110 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren (see a bit more of the story here) .... wow... pretty impressive..

there are actually a couple more but they have translated into personal or work projects so i shall not mention them here for the time being till i complete them and get some interesting results.. :)
