...What's a fish pedicure? I didn't have one. I just saw that there was a store near me. It didn't actually ever open up, so maybe the FDA or the food and game commission got to them.

...centuries, researchers have suspected that sleep plays an important role in learning and memory. But it's only in the last decade that neuroscientists have discovered the most convincing evidence that memory is indeed dependent on sleep. The prevailing theory is that during deep sleep, the brain replays certain experiences from the day, which, in turn, strengthens the memory of what happened. It is thought that when it comes to factual memories, like names, faces, numbers or locations, memory consolidation happens only during deep sleep - a phase of non-rapid eye movement sleep. (The other broad type of sleep, called...
...argue that the true purpose of sleep is to "cool down" the brain by resting the neurons that have been firing all day long. Paller's study lends support for the majority view: when sounds were played to the sleeping brain, the EEG patterns indicated activity - signaling that perhaps certain memories were being revisited - and this processing appeared to strengthen memories. "The meow somehow stimulated the association of the cat with a certain position on the screen," suggests Jan Born, a memory and sleep researcher at the University of Lübeck in Germany, who was not involved...

Back in Cambridge, as hungover students recounted their weekend debauchery, the buzz around campus was that a certain Yale party made Harvard ragers look quite tame as well. This party was a naked party. Yep, naked. As in no clothes...
