What do you know you know?
by zensim ini have been inspired to ask this question by narkissos' thread: "is 'consciousness' overrated?
" (et al).. whilst my question is primarily directed to you nark, i want to open this up to everyone else also.. nark - from your opening ramblings (and i mean that in the most endearing way) on "is 'consciousness' overrated?
", and from other recent posts, i get the feeling that you are asking these questions because you know something and you are trying to grasp onto what you know.

Bug turns women smart, men slow
by zensim inbug turns women smart, men slow"it can make men behave like alley cats and women behave like sex kittens.".

a common parasite can increase a women's attractiveness to the opposite sex but also make men more stupid, an australian researcher says.. about 40 per cent of the world's population is infected with toxoplasma gondii, including about 8 million australians.. human infection generally occurs when people eat raw or undercooked meat that has cysts containing the parasite, or accidentally ingest some of the parasite's eggs excreted by an infected cat.. the parasite is known to be dangerous to pregnant women as it can cause disability or abortion of the unborn child, and can also kill people whose immune systems are weak.. until recently it was thought to be an insignificant disease in healthy people, sydney university of technology infectious disease researcher nicky boulter said, but new research has revealed its mind-altering properties.. "interestingly, the effect of infection is different between men and women," dr boulter writes in the latest issue of australasian science magazine.. "infected men have lower iqs, achieve a lower level of education and have shorter attention spans.

The effects of emotions on health
by zensim inbelow are three astonishing experiments with dna which proves that dna can heal itself according to the "feelings" of the individual as reported recently by gregg braden.
in his recent program entitled healing hearts/healing nations: the science of peace and the power of prayer, gregg braden discussed how in the past we lost huge amounts of information from ancient spiritual traditions (when the library at alexandria burned we lost at least 532,000 documents), and that there may be information in those traditions which could help us understand some of the mysteries of science.
to this end he reported on three very interesting experiments.

Terry Irwin given death video
by zensim ini find it encouraging to see that justice was chosen in this case, rather than the normal red tape and/or rules.. .
terri given footage of irwin's deaththursday jan 4 00:14 aedtsteve irwin's wife terri has been given footage of her husband's death after queensland authorities broke with protocol to ensure it did not get into the wrong hands.. copies of the film, which shows irwin being stabbed in the heart by a stingray, have been destroyed, queensland state coroner michael barnes said.. he said footage was normally held in perpetuity but the destruction of the copies would prevent them being sold on the black market, news limited newspapers report.. the coronial investigation is almost complete and the footage was handed to terri irwin just before christmas, mr barnes said.. .
"when the final police investigation report is received the coroner will, in consultation with ms irwin, determine whether an inquest is necessary," mr barnes said.he said police had told him unscrupulous operators would be willing to pay up to $1 million for the footage.. under usual coronial investigation protocols, a film or audio evidence is handed back to the owners and a copy made for the state to be held in perpetuity.. "i'm not sure whether we will be doing that in this case because of the risk it poses," mr barnes said.. he said police had a responsibility to ensure the footage was not leaked.. the findings of the coronial investigation into irwin's death are expected to be made public within weeks.. .
