Meh kinda day October 8, 2010

Consider it an interpersonal transfer of utility.

There’s a study about rats in here somewhere, and a note about the redefinition of PTSD in the VA system that are interesting:

An unexpected thought on Michelson-Morley.

The son of Oïleus quickly raced in front,
with godlike Odysseus really close behind,
as close as the weaving bar comes to the breast [760]
of a well-dressed woman when she deftly pulls it
in her hands to pass the weaving spool through thread,
keeping the rod against her chest—that’s how close 940
Odysseus ran behind, his feet hitting Ajax’s footprints
before the dust could settle there.  Godlike Odysseus
ran so close, his breath touched the back of Ajax’s head.
