		<description><![CDATA[You should know there are two kinds of Scudieres: those who run and those who don’t. My Uncle Tom (yes, I really have an Uncle Tom) is part of the ‘running’ branch of the family. They all do half-marathons as family events. Uncle Tom is a tri-athlete. That puts my branch of the family firmly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I once heard that McDonalds’ coke is better than anyone else’s because they super-cool it. Deciding I wanted to try this at home, I created a super-cooler for beer and canned drinks. It works on the principles of conduction and freezing point depression. Water freezes at 32F or 0C unless you add a solute (anything [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day, while driving down the freeway, I was attacked by lava rocks. Fist- and softball-sized stones bounced more than a story high on the blacktop then rained nearly straight down on those of us jammed together at 4:30 trying to stay ahead of rush hour. It took me a moment to locate the [...]]]></description>

Because, honestly I (and probably a lot of you) have a mind just like criminal’s. I mentioned this in the past, but the warping of AJ started [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of us use paper napkins at dinner. (I have kids and pets, and would love to switch to cloth, but it hasn’t happened yet.) I also can’t leave napkins out in a holder on the table because of the pets, so we keep ours in the cabinet. However, doing this leads to the napkins [...]]]></description>

I have a soft spot for big animals, too, so the saying “don’t get a kitten unless you want a cat” doesn’t stop me from getting another pet. Unfortunately, as a biologist, I don’t limit my pet desires to the domestic. On my current [...]]]></description>

It appears to be the path to instant wealth and a better life. But let’s pause for a moment and look at the numbers. Some analysts state that as many as 98% of Lotto winners [...]]]></description>

This is usually considered to be because of the carbonation bubbles attaching to the straw and lifting it. I love a cold coke with a [...]]]></description>

Very few things actually get me to click links these days, but this one did, just because of its absurdity. Who are these ‘men’? I asked myself. Sure enough, the opening line [...]]]></description>
