I fell down a long marble stairway at the Glyptotek in Copenhagen
Oh my stars! I know that staircase. The Glyptotek is my favorite museum in the great wide world.
Ah. Now I'm off on flights of dreamy day dreaming of trips to the sculpture hall...and the beautiful atrium with the string quartet at noon...and the sweet cafe...and the largest Rodin exhibit outside Philadelphia. Sigh. Thanks Spidra!
Heh. I haven't been there since then. And I haven't been to Europe since 1993. C'monnnnnnn lottery win!
I finally caught up enough to say: Way to kick ass, ita!!!
They couldn't find anything better to blow their grant money on than this? Scientists Find Gene That Controls Type of Earwax in People
But why isn't this one on the front page? A large-scale government-financed study has concluded that when it comes to math, students in regular public schools do as well as or significantly better than comparable students in private schools.
Heh. Sciency x-post.
Oh, ita -- this also made me think of you: one of my co-workers' daughters recently got her brown/black belt in karate. She's 11. When my co-worker said "I don't know what's left after black," I said "You know there are a LOT of other martial arts to master...."
I said "You know there are a LOT of other martial arts to master...."
Damned skippy. There are also degrees of black. There's always somewhere to go, either inside, or out.
I think she should start with krav.

OR -- and this is just a possibility -- she could become Batgirl.
I think that's an option well worth considering.
Scientists Find Gene That Controls Type of Earwax in People
That's interesting--my youngest nephew, Dylan, was 19 months old when my brother and SIL noticed he wasn't talking as he should, and what words he was speaking were devoid of consonants. They took him in for testing, and he had really bad hearing in both ears, so they were about to take him in for sign language education and all the rest of the special ed stuff. But, they took him into the doctor first, who said that he had a massive amount of earwax in both ears, so much that it had actually solidified. They flushed and dug it out, and then retested his hearing a few days later. It had improved to near-normal levels! It still took him a few years to get his language skills up to speed with his peers, but he has no problems now at eight years old.
