Why I use Clipmarks
I use Clipmarks primarily for organizing my research, so most of my clips are private (and terribly boring). However, I occasionally stumble across a little nugget of something worth sharing. Usually these turn out to be pretty useless snippets, but wtf...someone may get something out of them.
Where to find me on the web

Canine Rabies Virus: Gone but Not Forgotten
Folly
by Folly  9-8-2007   
 This is actually kind of a big deal from a biological/public health stand point--but it really doesn't change much as far as pet owner responsibility. I hope people don't read/hear this and think they can skip Fido's rabies vaccine. Also interesting to hear about the only known unvaccinated survivor from 2004. Previously, as I understood it, rabies was labeled the only infectious disease that, left untreated (via vaccination), had a 100% mortality rate.

Arming the (Sometime) Enemy of My Enemy
Folly
by Folly  8-3-2007   
 I've been thinking about this from all kinds of angles, and no matter how hard I try I can't find a good outcome resulting from this proposal. Er, unless like me, you derive some small, petty pleasure from the fact that Cheney might be the least bit irritated by the failure of Rice and Gates to focus exclusively on his suggestion (decree?) that the USA proceed with a military solution to the Iran situation.

Thank Heaven for Little...Boys?
Folly
by Folly  7-29-2007   
 Maurice Chevalier would be so disappointed. I *really* don't want to sit in judgement upon a culture about which I am largely ignorant, but this preference seems alarmingly short-sighted. On a biological level, it doesn't make much long-term sense. Let's say that parents depend on their son(s) to provide for them in their old age--is it crazy to imagine that their daughter-in-law would be a critical component in their care? How, precisely, do bachelor sons care for elderly parents. I'd love to be enlightened on this issue. Can anyone help me understand this?

 "It's a fun day. It's a family day...." That just kills me. The only promising thing about this is the fact that none of the candidates are going to attend.

 I hate going to the mailbox because the useless, unrequested, and ultimately unopened items out number my legitimate correspondence by a factor of at least 4 to 1. Certainly, it can't *hurt* to try the resources listed in this post....

 Interesting that it's the girls who are "forced" to implement these hunting tactics. I'm not sure why that strikes me as strange....cultural bias, I suppose.
