That sounds like that stat I read in freakonomics where a ridiculously high amount of stuff on ebay eventually sells above the original "buy it now" price.

Vitamin C aside, fruit juice is just as bad for you as soda is.

Apart from having equivalent sugar, how is juice as bad, Tom?

I'm curious because I've been reading all this stuff about calcium leeching from bones and acid effects on the stomach associated with soda.

I didn't pay enough attention, but the Nova ep suggested that there is a neurological connection with money and competition that makes such things happen. They further suggested that money effects the brain in the same ways that sex and food do. Interesting evolutionarily speaking.

I think there was something about similar effects in Predictably Irrational - iirc, the explanation had to do with wanting to make sure your competitors didn't get it more than wanting to get a fair price for yourself.

Damn, it is cold and windy out. I am under-dressed. We're not having the day we planned, uncle g is tending mac who refused to leave the house. I am supposed to be out doing something enjoyable. So far I've got coffee and donuts and sat reading at D&D, but now I have no idea what to do. The mani-pedi place in my hood is closed. It is ick to be walking around in. The library is closed. Ideas?

Movie!

I know it's lame, but I fear getting too far away or where I will have wasted money if I get a call and have to bolt.

I think for the moment I am just going to the big drug store and stroll.

Shoe people: Any ideas for places to look for shoes that are closed toe with low or no heel in fun colors or patterns that cost less than Fluevogs?
