Stuff below the fold

Do modern cooking pans lead to early menopause?


I haven't seen a lot of early menopause myself, but these chemicals with estrogen like properties might be causing other things, such as feminizing males, low sperm count, and metabolic syndrome.

An article on Cahokia mounds...that started going downhill about 1300...

wasn't that the time when climate change linked famine predisposed Europe to the Black plague?

The X rated background on ancient Chinese history...

and if you thought his story would make a good movie, you're right...

Another reporter killed, and with a straight face, a police spokesman suggests it was a robbery for a cellphone...

and the prosecutorial team against the Amputuans has been sacked.

And now that the Amputuans are in jail, the Mangudadatu clan seems to be involved in killing a prosecutor in Manguindanao.

Like most of these political shennanigans, including the murder of our nephew, it's rare for the papers to suggest the real cause behind the murders and the possible corruption links behind the headlines, because of our strict libel laws in the Philippines. And, being a foreigner, I rarely can connect the dots (e.g. who is connected to whom and who is backed by what family clan).
