Don't cook artichokes and lemon juice in a cast iron pan. That night I looked gothy, with black fingers, nails, lips, tongue and teeth.

Chaucerian rap from chaucerhathblog: Straight Ovtta Londoun. Funny stuff. And his hat does look like a Q-Tip.

According to the Wall Street Journal, "there is no convincing empirical evidence that mental activity slows the rate of cognitive decline." In fact, people who had undergone memory training actually did worse later in life, presumably because higher performance meant they fell farther. I'll probably continue doing sudoku puzzles anyway, though.

The Giants' pitching can't hold a five-run lead. Okay, they pulled out a win anyway - but this is a bad sign.

"there is no convincing empirical evidence that mental activity slows the rate of cognitive decline."

No, but age will do it by itself -- the cognitive decline thing.

That's why you forgot about the interplay between acids (such as lemon juice) and ferrous materials (such as cast iron pans).
