  1. The Best Part of Jaws... by __aaclcg7560 · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Paul Allen Finds Long-Lost World War II Cruiser, the USS Indianapolis (usni.org)

    The Indianapolis monologue by Robert Shaw in "Jaws" was the best scene out of the whole movie. I was always fascinated by that story. Nice to see the story of the USS Indianapolis concluded 42 years after the movie.

    The pick play near the end of the Super Bowl caused some guy to die.

    No, TFA you linked to says it didn't cause him to die. In fact, he didn't even watch the game. The family blamed the Seahawks in his obit as a joke.

    Sub freezing temperatures aren't necessary.

    In the UK, for example, for every one degree drop in temperature below 18C, deaths in the UK go up 1.5%. The risk of heart attack and stroke seem to increase with dropping temperatures.

    And in the USA, the mortality rate is highest in January.

    Vietnam shows a similar pattern.

    Interestingly, Dr. Oz and Dr Phil are woo-spewing kooks and more modern pediatric research has moved away from much of Spock's advice.

    Still, Spock changed the way the western world thinks about raising kids, and for the better. I'm not sure I'd be happy about being linked to pop-psy TV personalities like Dr Phil and Dr Oz.

    I did valet services for the inventor of the Clapper (and many other things) when I was a kid. His name was Eric A. Kolm, seemed a really nice fellow and a good chess player too.

    You're right -- I should have provided more information.

    The author was Carl R. Pacifico. The document has not been peer reviewed, and the full paper, 'The Human Thinking Process - A Hypothesis in Evolutionary Neuropsychology' (pdf) has only been published on the internet through Drexel Univeristy's Carl. R. Pacifico Professorship of Neuropsychology, which he funded, so can't be considered an unbiased peer review.

    As he died last month, he won't have a chance to conduct further research to prove or disprove his hypothesis.

    I'm not in the field, myself, so I can't make a judgement if any of his research is sound
