Nom Nom Nom

Three facts:

1. My grandmother who has Alzheimer's is coming into town.
2. I like to read health "news" from BBC online. I put news in quotation marks because the BBC is very good about representing all kinds of science reporting: the excellent to the downright awful.
3. I love curry.

All of these things have come together to bring me to this article about potential benefits of eating lots and lots of curry! Alzheimer's is a terrible disease; how fabulous would if something so yummy could help protect you from something so horrible?

Let's play a game!

So I'm stealing this from NPR and numerous other places but I don't care because it's a fun game!

Basically I'll give a headline and then a short description of three stories. You have to pick the true one.

1. Car loses all four wheels on highway
A car traveling on a motorway in Zurich, Switzerland lost all four wheel simultaneously. The car's owners had just changed from winter to summer wheels but had used the wrong nuts for the new set. No one was injured.

2. Woman shoots boyfriend for sleeping with wife
Emma Hendrix from Colbert County, Alabama shot her boyfriend, Josh Morris Sunday because she found out he was sleeping with his wife after his wife got pregnant. Ms. Hendrix claimed that she didn't mind him being married, but that she snapped when she found out he had being lying to her about sleeping with his wife. Mr. Morris was not seriously injured.

3. Woman refuses to leave "swine flu-proof" house
A woman in Sussex, England has repeatedly refused to leave her "swine flu-proof" house according to local authorities. The woman in her mid seventies, has stockpiled her home with disinfectant products for protection. The woman's son and daughter-in-law involved the police when the woman refused to accept visitor or even accept deliveries of her blood pressure medication.

The Answer!

(Side note: that word, "answer", is really disgusting to look at. what the hell is that 'w' doing in there?)
