So, I quit smoking yesterday. I had my last smoke in the morning. My wife picked me up “the patch”, and when I got home, I was SO ready to put that thing on my arm that I was starting to freak out and be crabby at the world. About an hour after I affixed the patch to my arm, I seriously calmed down, and went about my evening. Normally, commercial breaks, phone calls, and other distractions are a PERFECT time/reason to go have a smoke at night for me…but not last night. I actually had no desire to go outside and have a smoke. I am also, perfectly content at work, and do not have murderous intentions at all. This is so unlike other times I have tried to quit! I actually feel like I can do this one.

The drawbacks/side effects are few, slightly annoying, but I know they will go away when I am confident that I no longer require the patch. First, my arm is slightly numb, second my heart is pretty much racing all the time, and third, I got a weird rash on my forearm last night, but it is not serious.

Constant nicotine, however small of a dose, seems to disagree with me a bit. I wish that I could quit cold turkey, but my friends and family would probably kill me…

From Wikipedia.org:

Extraction

Looking for truffles in open ground is almost always carried out with specially trained pigs (truffle hogs) or, more recently, dogs.[citation needed]

Truffle Hog:
Keen sense of smell
Innate ability to sniff out truffles
Tendency to eat truffles once found

Truffle Dog
Keen sense of smell
Must be trained
Easier to control; may urinate on truffles

The female pig’s natural truffle seeking as well as her usual intent to eat the truffle is due to a compound within the truffle similar to androstenol, the sex pheromone of boar saliva, to which the sow is keenly attracted.

I just read this and nearly fell from my chair:

“A philosopher sat at his desk, waiting for inspiration. It struck suddenly: in an instant, he constructed in his mind a perfect syllogism showing that reality was an illusion, and the world of the senses was noting more than a well-constructed hallucination. He wrote furiously for six hours to lay out this flawless refutation of materialism. As soon as it was finished, he sprinted to the bathroom because he really had to pee.”
I always read this to mean, if the answer to your philosophical question won’t change the way you live, what’s the point?

It could be that the people of Saturn are preparing to attack…
