Clever Stuff

1. Reading about something is as good as doing it- "Because reading about something turns on the same brain regions that control doing that thing.: Scientific American

2. Synchronicity? Or whatever. I finished a book about Antikythera Mechanism and was about to set a Google Alert for it, and what happens? For the first time in memory, this turns up:
 "Antikythera mechanism: World's first computer may be even older than thought. See an impressive 3D reconstruction of its inner workings."- TDG - Science, Magick, Myth and History

3. Counterintuitive: Extreme stress and utter physical exhaustion sharpen the ability to act on information stored in the unconscious- The Frontal Cortex (Trivia: Running a marathon is as stressful and releases as much cortisol as found in 'military training and interrogation , rape victims being treated acutely, severe burn injury patients, and first-time parachute jumpers')

Accidentally tripped on time, I mean, short of time- so this has to be all. :)

Be happy.
