Welcome to tastypopsicle.com

I've decided to open up the weblog archive. At one point is was closed off except to registered members due to an incident, However, that company has since closed its doors so they can just eat it. Use the search to find something that youmight be looking for. Maybe you'll find it.

So now my 10 Most Recent Delicious links doesn't work. And it's not just because the link changed but because they changed how content can be retrieved. Needless to say I don't know yet what I have to do to make it work again so for now no more delicious links.

Bah!

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University are seeking volunteers with a cancer diagnosis to participate in a scientific study of self-exploration and personal meaning:

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University are seeking volunteers with a current or past diagnosis of cancer who have some anxiety or are feeling down about their cancer to participate in a scientific study of self-exploration and personal meaning brought about by the entheogen psilocybin, a psychoactive substance found in mushrooms used as a sacrament in some cultures, given in a comfortable, supportive setting. Questionnaires and interviews will be used to assess the effects of the substance on consciousness, mood, and behavior.

In short - they want to see how magic mushrooms will effect you. Hopefully they won't all get the giggles.

The consumption of Absinthe is on the rise now that the ban has been lifted in the United States.

To date, there are four brands on US shelves: Lucid (Breaux's formula), Kuebler, Green Moon, and St. George Absinthe Verte. "The US is lucky in that its first absinthes are high-quality products, distilled from whole herbs," Breaux says. "In the European market, 80 to 90 percent is industrial junk."

On a personal note this stuff tastes like concentrated licorice. And I have never seen what the big deal is.

Researchers have developed a new strategy for fighting the degradations of aging in the liver.

By genetically engineering mice to overproduce a protein that helps collect cellular garbage, scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine created old mice with livers that functioned as well as mice a quarter of their age.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this researcher will repair a liver damaged by the copiuos consumption of booze.

And last, I found this rather interesting. Double-wide anime look for your eyeballs. These are:

Contact lenses with extra-wide tinted outer ring to give the look of a bigger, wider iris. To quote the sales copy, “Wanna get big, watery shiny eyes without any surgery? CRAVE AND ENVY NO MORE!”

Anime or rolling really hard? Kind of hard to tell.
