Redheads Need More Anesthesia than Others
Natural redheads need 20% more anesthesia than other people report scientists. "Redheads are likely to experience more pain from a given stimulus and therefore require more anesthesia to alleviate that pain." said Dr. Edwin Liem of the University of Louisville in Kentucky. Anesthesiology is still very much a mystery to scientists, and picking the right dosage that keeps someone out without killing them is still very much an art. Studies like this will help them determine how anesthesics work and why.
Like slashdot.org, huh?
For all except megacorps, the www is redundant. Though most people used it instead of http://. So if it starts www, of course it is http, dummy.
Consciousness is an illusion caused by an excess of self consciousness.
Woah Dude! Mr. Glass posts to slashdot!
What if it is just turtles all the way down?
Yes, brainy blonds do exist. Geeks with social skills also exist. But they are rarer than mercy at Microsoft.
Speaking of blonds, the oddest thing happened to me once. My boss rushed into my cubicle and sputtered out, "I need a bunch of blond jokes really fast. See what you can find on the web and print them out!" So I found some blond joke sites and printed them out and walked over to hand them to my boss. As soon as he saw me he grabbed the printouts and ran out the door in a frienzied hurry. I never heard another word about that request again. True story.
