		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, drinking beer (or rather, consuming low amounts of alcohol) on a daily basis can be beneficial, if only in lab rats. According to a study from the University of Auckland, lab rats who tested better at &#8220;memory tasks&#8221; than their sober counterparts. Of course, over-consumption can lead to neurotoxicity (not to mention other social [...]]]></description>

Tucked away in one of my wife&#8217;s magazines this week was an advertisement for a drug called «alli».

		<description><![CDATA[I was reading this article at nature.com, and I thought the premise was rather interesting. Apparently, nudity makes men economically rational. The theory is that men who ordinarily would drive a hard bargain suddenly become rational, at least in an economic sense. Thus, claims the article, answers the question &#8220;why does sex sell?&#8221; Maybe we [...]]]></description>
