Freud’s first major scientific publication was ‘Über Coca,’ describing his experiences using cocaine.

    Freud was a coke head? Say it ain’t so.

    I like the capitalist version of the rainbow fish story. Especially the faux tear at the end.

    I like the idea of a super flu shot. The current vaccines are a cocktail of the flu strains that public health experts predict (six months in advance) will circulate through the country in the fall and winter. This year’s vaccine will be identical to last year’s vaccine. However, since that is usually not the case I doubt if any of the excess vials from last year are even still around.

    The link to Mankiw’s blog with the Rainbow Fish story was so great.
