Things that make you go hmmmm
“After 10-15 years, the foxes he bred showed affection to their keepers, even licking them. They barked, had floppy ears and wagged their tails. They also developed spotted coats – a surprising development that was connected with a decrease in their levels of adrenaline, which shares a biochemical pathway with melanin and controls pigment production.” – FT Magazine
this excerpt is from a totally fascinating article about the 35,000 stray dogs roaming Moscow. Hmmm
I wonder if humans have that same biochemical path?
I was led down that engaging path by Chris Pederick’s Stuff I’m Reading. Chris Pederick wrote two of the very few Firefox Extensions that I use. Web Developer and User Agent Switcher are pretty much the reason I usually work in FF. He’s one of those people who make me go hmmm.
Of course, the FT.com article also led me to Andrei Poyarkov who works at A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution in south-west Moscow but that’s an adventure for another time. I’m losing the bewitching hour as I write this and I have some witching to do.
If you never see me again, it’ll mean I cast the wrong spell and can’t migrate to a VPS.
