my, your right frontal lobe is HUUGE.

in an effort to display how well-read i am (and to counteract the fact that i start every morning with a not-so-brief visit to http://www.gofugyourself.com) i have taken up perusing the NY Times online. i feel smarter, and can be that intellectual/obnoxious (depending on how early it is and/or your perspective on the news) person who says to everyone "did you see that article about ________ in the Times today?"

apparently, many of my students have semantic dementia.
