You probably thought this post was going to be about how Meredith Grey (or perhaps McDreamy?) is a neuroscientist, or how Shonda Rhimes (the creator of Grey's Anatomy) anticipated some surprising discovery of modern neuroscience. Alas, I have no such insights. Marcel Proust may have been a…
"Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."
[President Bush at the G8 summit] ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."

Sorry for the off-topic comment, but opening your postings with this kind of "dot dot dot letter" -construction plays havoc with your style-sheet's first-letter declaration. It makes the ellipsis and the first letter larger on my browser, and other readers may see something else.

Only someone with an afternoon's worth of understanding of evolutionary biology could say something this stupid.
Don't miss Berlinski's Bad Math at Good Math, Bad Math.
Peter, I like how the ellipsis and the first letter show up bigger. It looks cool.
