From today's Boston Globe:

Harvard seeks to test ecstasy drug on the dying

Harvard researchers are preparing for the first time in three decades to conduct human experiments using a psychedelic drug, a study that would seek to harness the mind-altering effects of the drug ecstasy to help ease the crushing psychic burdens faced by dying cancer patients.

This sounds amazingly like the "Unselfing Rounds" for the dying in Norstrilla by Cordwainer Smith. Sounds like a decent idea to me; I'd certainly like to have that option, if I was dying.

How about you?

Yuck

This is the creepiest article I have read in many years.

Men, you're not going to like this one. I'm still shuddering.

Grammar Quiz

I hate memes and quizzes. HATE THEM!

So why do I keep taking them?

Well, grammar is something I'm actually interested in. I know I type far more formally than most people online, and I like being that way.

So it's only appropriate that I got this result.


You are a GRAMMAR GOD!


Congratulations! If your mission in life is not already to preserve the English tongue, it should be. You can smell a grammtical inaccuracy from fifty yards. Your speech is revered by the underlings, though some may blaspheme and call you a snob. They're just jealous. Go out there and change the world.


How grammatically correct are you? (Revised with answer key)

Incidentally, I didn't work too hard on the quiz. I just answered with the first thing that came into my head. Had I not gotten the top score, you may be sure that you would never have heard about it. :D
