What part of the brain bears a name that is also used to
denote a mythical beast?
The hippocampus. The word also is used for a mythical
half-horse, half-fish creature, said to pull the chariot of
the Greek sea god Poseidon. Hippocampus is also the
scientific name for the sea horse.
What exactly is vertigo?
Vertigo is a bit different than your run-of-the-mill dizzy
spell. A person suffering from vertigo actually feels as
though either he or his surroundings is spinning or moving.
It's a false illusion of motion when the person actually
remains still.

STRANGE BITS AND PIECES!
LSD is made from lysergic acid, which is found in ergot, a
type of fungus.

Do You Have Foot In The Mouth Disease?
As Morris and his wife Sherry were planning a vacation. They
ended up in an argument, "It's 'Hawaii', I'm telling you!"
Sherry said.
"I never KNEW someone so stubborn! 'Havaii' is how it's pro-
nounced!" he replied.
And so it went all the way to the vacation...
As they got off the airplane, they passed a man. Morris
abruptly stopped the wife and turned to the man to ask, "Now
that we're on the island, you can settle an argument between
my wife and me. Is this 'Hawaii' or 'Havaii?'"
"This is Havaii," the man replied.
"Ha!" the husband gloated to his wife. "See, didn't I tell
you never to argue with me?" As they began to walk away,
Morris turned back and gave the man a hearty "Thank you!"
"You're Velcome!" he called back.
Does the condition sound familiar? I've been there so
many times I finally learned to see it coming and now
avoid it.
Yet I am still surprised when I see it developing elsewhere.
It seems there is a contest between man and wife and for
some unknown reason it appears important to each of
them that they win. How can that be? Are they not in love?
Are they not together in all things? What is happening here?
I know that when my wife and I used to participate in this
silly game it was as if we were opponents. Further, it was
a signal of a deeper rift, one where each of us was not
paying enough loving attention to each other. I see that
to be true wherever I see this game being played.
I rarely see two of the same sex competing this way,
although it happens. It would show up as petty little
rivalries between close friends, but usually their
interests are different. It seems to happen more
often between men and women who are in a close
relationship. It is called the game of "One Upmanship"
and if allowed to continue usually costs each
participant a great deal of happiness, joy
and contentment.
I call it the "Foot In The Mouth Disease". It is emblematic
of one who seeks to be first. It shows an ego that is vying
for attention rather than a loving soul who wishes nothing
but the best for their partner.
Think on these things. They can be subtle signals of
deeper difficulties in a relationship.
It is easy to stop, if you can get control of that little
gremlin inside that spurs you on to what you hope will be
victory. It is an ego trip based on some poorly concocted
notion you are somehow inferior to your partner. The game
never develops unless each partner has the same notion.
So get into an open and frank discussion about it with
your partner, one day when you are far away from having
one of those little battles. If both of you recognize the
issue you can set up little signals that will let each of
you know what you are doing when the next one comes along.
That way you can reduce the battles and maybe even eliminate
them.
So ask yourself...Do You Have Foot In The Mouth Disease?

To have absolute control of the emotions is mastery in itself.

The Make Up Of Your Body And
How It Functions
PART 9 of 9
Just as police are trained to detect counterfeit money, you
too can benefit from understanding your true and healthy
body. Once you recognize good ways to keep it well and
"empowered", you will want to find ways to improve all
aspects of it.
And don't get caught in the exercise or low carb/ high
carb.low fat/ high fat traps. Get yourself some really good
books, study the author's approach to nutrition, exercise,
and health ingeneral, and see how it feels. If you are
uncomfortable, leave it alone. If it feels right, try it for a
specific length of time and then evaluate your results. You
are on the first step to taking back control: learning what
works and what doesn't. And keep a sharp eye out for
additives and other chemicals. (I am still amazed at the
inaccurate statements on fats and additives, and especially
artificial sweeteners.) Now that you know what your body
is made of and how it functions at optimum efficiency, you
want to help it along so you can enjoy many years of
healthy living.

PERCEPTIONS . . . by Ken Darby
-----------------------DISCLAIMER
Some around me think I am an opinionated old goat.
Whether that be true or not I will sometimes, in this column,
talk about things people don't like to talk about - or don't want
out in the open. Take it all with a grain of salt.
Do your own thinking, and don't accept the things I say as
gospel. They are only mental meanderings from a simple soul.
-----------------------END DISCLAIMER
The Smoke And Mirrors Idea Would Kill Us
Some of you may be wondering why I was so vehemently against
the smoke and mirrors idea the U.S. offered up as a means to
controlling the amount of sunlight that reaches earth.
It is plain as day that the U.S. can’t control, or what is
closer to the truth - won’t control, the amount of emissions
they put into the atmosphere.
Can you possibly imagine them trying to control a gaseous
mixture that has no container - no sides, top or bottom -
and is subject to forces we don’t know and have no control
over?
The sad truth is that if they did come up with some kind of
substance they could spread in space between earth and the
sun then something would go wrong and the earth could or
would become a frozen, lifeless planet. There is absolutely
no way this should be considered and the fact it came from a
government agency means we are in trouble. As bad as global
warming may become, any amount of debris put in space to
keep the sun from reaching earth is an automatic death
sentence for all of us.
Think on that folks.!

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Quack: Why is a medical charlatan pretending to be a
physician called a "quack"?
Because he boasts of his salves. "Quack" is really an
abbreviation of "quacksalver" which comes from the Dutch
"kwakzalver" - and this has this idea of "quacking about
one's salves." But the idea behind all these terms is that
the ""quack" is like the duck- he makes a big noise over
nothing.

HA! HA! HA!
Chad went to a bar and ordered a drink. A few minutes later,
a beautiful blonde sat down next to him and started coming
on to him. Soon she invited him back to her place. Overcome
with excitement, Chad agreed.
When they got to the bedroom, Chad exclaimed "Wow! A waterbed.
I've never had sex on a waterbed before!!"
Soon they were both naked and going at it. The blonde stopped
him and said, "Before we go any further, don't you think you
should put on some protection??"
"Good idea," he responded and got up. Chad walked out of the
room, and when he came back, he was wearing a life preserver!
