Fossil Fueled Extinction

As I was filling up the gas tank of the Subaru the other night I caught a whiff of that odd, almost sweaty, tingly smell of gasoline. The thought that gasoline is a fossil fuel, distilled from flora nad fauna that lived long ago struck me and immediately I was left with some lingering questions:

Did dinosaurs smell like gasoline?
If so, were they highly flammable?

Maybe that's what happened to the dinosaurs...

Gabe Loves Words (Especially BIG Ones)

I feel like posting another one of my poems, and I hope that's okay.

REGARDING WORDS

As a child, I would suck on the pits
of apricots and plums:
I'd suck all the sweetness out
to the bitter end.
I'd suck the coolness out until
the temperature of the pit and my mouth
were the same.
Words are the seeds one finds
in fruit.
Imagine that--
a universe in a wooden bowl.

Quote of the day:

"Light coming through shoji is like the sound of waves: it’s always basically the same thing but it’s never actually the same thing."

Wow.

Reading Your Baby's Mind - Newsweek Society - MSNBC.com

This article in NewsWeek provides an interesting review of all of the fascinating developments in understanding the minds of infants and babies that have emerged through the recent blossoming of cognitive science techniques. Interestingly enough, they're still just getting started with FMRI, but they're alread debunked several myths about early childhood development.
Sure, the pandering tone is annoying, but it still ought to be required reading for any of us with a little whelp at home.
