An article in the USA Today examines one aspect of
what reality shows may teach or model and that is
having emotional overreactions. That is, because of
the dramatic needs of TV where everything has to be
exaggerated, behaviors and emotional reactions that

Thanks for your thoughts on this Mike. I didn't know that these life-like
dolls had received such media attention. Very interesting.

I saw this story in the New York Times a few days ago. I've seen some fuzzy
anatomical slides in many a colloquium, so perhaps those who are accustomed
to finding structures in fuzzy masses, this might make more sense than it
does to me. :-) I'm leaning toward the interpreting clouds model,

I agree with Claudia. I took neuroanatomy in graduate school.
Part of the course involved being able to identify structures
from arbitrarily-chosen cat-brain sections. We graduate students
would study the projected sections for 2 to 4 hours at a time.
After a study session, we would walk
