Discoveries into perception via popular magic tricks. Researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center have unveiled how and why the public perceives some magic tricks in recent studies that could have real-world implications in military tactics, marketing and sports.

Since I have a family, however, that oh-so-also-cliche option really isn’t on the table. Since I also struggle with migraines, and have a severe reaction to most drugs (See! My moods have been fairly steady. But… I’m boring. That’s not really a fair thing to say. Can you remember the last time I made a silly video of myself? It gets worse though.

Whaledefenders stop the killing! Slog.thestranger. This post is written by Cafe Racer bartender Nicholas Anderson, on behalf of the Cafe Racer staff. "Cafe Racer is the best place in Seattle. " For the last 24 hours I've heard this declaration, or some variation thereof, from dozens of people. People with tears in their eyes, with sadness in their hearts, with their arms around me and mine around them.
