Hil's quick test for heel-wearing stability, totally non-medical: have her stand on one foot without holding onto anything for balance. If she can balance fine, probably no problem. If she's wobbling from her upper body, with her foot and ankle staying relatively still, probably no problem. If her foot and ankle are twisting and wobbling around, wearing heels might be difficult.
(My sister and I both walk with our toes pointed out like that, but she can wear heels with no problem, because her feet and ankles have enough stability to stay where she puts them.)

Truth in labeling — this t-shirt tells readers exactly what chemical elements they can expect to find inside.
There was a House episode with a gender thing. She was a model.
Those little buggy bastards hit everywhere, I swear: NYistas, anyone deal with the publishing companies?

This xkcd is, IMHO, an example of a bad calculus joke
No, it's an awesome history of math joke because,Newton says "Derivative" in the comic and Newton didn't use that term, he used "fluxion!

Advice for Chicagoans: Run away!
Alligator Removed From the Chicago River
There’s ‘gator in these parts.
Not something you expect to hear in Chicago, but Chicago Animal Care and Control Department specialists removed a gator from the the north branch of the Chicago River, Thursday night CBS News reports.
Observers saw the reptile, believed to be between two and four feet long, chillin’ on the rocks at Fullerton and Damen, Police News Affairs Officer Kevin Kilmer said.
The cops sent a marine unit to investigate but the ‘gator had disappeared back into the river by the time they arrived.
Normally, gators get chased away by the Lake Michigan fresh-water sharks....

It's awesome you know that. Fluxion, why didn't we adopt that term? It is so much cooler.
Heh. I thought of the "fluxion" thing, too. (I usually go through a quick history of calculus lesson in my Calc I classes, to explain why we have both the f'(x) notation and the dy/dx notation, and what they actually mean.)

Cool. I think I'd find this very interesting.
