I was expecting something along the lines of "A Rorschach Cheat Sheet: Literary Allusions in Watchmen" (or something). Interesting nonetheless. Do optometrists get upset with the color-blindness tests that are online? People could do the sa

I have to agree with the "equally shitty to use" statement. One of the other problems is that it is hard to get the features you want in a phone that you want. It's along the lines of "GPS, Bluetooth and good Camera: pick any 2." Yu do, how

They were "slides her pathologist had said were completely normal." So I assume the pathologist took the samples, and she took one home for research.

The place in the article, Daiwa sushi, is great after a morning of wandering around (if you can handle sushi for breakfast). Probably the best I've ever had. Only problem is, its small and popular.
