...showed that 30 patients with diabetes had significantly lower blood levels of glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol after taking cinnamon for 40 days. In a separate study, however, scientists at the University of California at Santa Barbara and the Sansum Medical Research Institute found that not all cinnamon is created equal. While some varieties had no impact, others lowered blood-glucose levels in studies of obese mice...

Kids will be more interested in the way an upside-down A becomes a drippy ice-cream cone or a sideways E turns into an electric plug. Ernst's ingenuity is equal even to the challenge of letters that don't change when turned, like O (a bagel, an owl's eye, a fried egg) and X (a railroad-crossing sign, a treasure map's end, a ballerina's shoe ribbons...

While it is theoretically possible that a group of people attempted to systematically alter the outcome of the presidential election, it is more likely that the real fraud possibility consists of cover-ups of the systemically insecure and inaccurate voting machines employed in most of the country...
