- Six Things You Won't Be Ordering from SkyMall. While I agree with the author's selections, I'm a little surprised he was compelled to limit it to six. Maybe he landed before he got further through the catalog...
- Could Conjoined Twins Share a Mind? This piece was fascinating; at first I found the thought of these conjoined twins sad, but in reading I learned that I need not feel that way.
- "Open Placebos" and the Ethics of Prescribing Fake Medicine. Interesting piece combining ethics with some surprising revelations about how effective placebos are, even when disclosed.
- Who Will Fill the Spiritual Void Left by Oprah? It's not so much the conclusions of this article that I like, as the premise. Marcie's curiosity led her to watch the last episode (she wasn't a regular watcher) and she reported that it was essentially a sermon.
- For the Love of Wisdom, Philosophy Majors Grow in Number at UC Berkeley. As a former philosophy undergraduate, I love this. Philosophy is such a foundational major for life, so I'm glad to see a rise in numbers.
- The Creepiest Corporate Mascots. Okay, I agree here; why isn't there some sort of marketing litmus-test for this sort of creepiness?
