BBC News – The myth of the eight-hour sleep

I have been waiting for this to come back around again.  I seem to remember an even earlier study (one that would probably seem politically incorrect today) where, among other things – like upside-down goggles and REM sleep disruption – they discovered people sleep in 2 four hour chunks.  I have done this myself when self employed at multimedia production.  Got my best work done at 3 am.  It’s why everyone needs to hit the coffee again at 3 pm.  The Siesta addresses this issue.  Take a clue from your cat.

A New Breed of Television: DOGTV | Life With Dogs

While I am mildly dubious about it’s effectiveness, I absolutely love the concept.  My dogs did pay some attention to tv.  Mostly it was sound driven.  A dog barking or a cat screeching or some other loud and sudden noise.  One dog I had was terrified of the tv.  My cats sometimes react to the tv in much the same way.  Although the cats are more inclined to try and grab things that are moving on the screen.  Kudos, I say.

The Italian mummies preserved in mercury for almost 200 years | Mail Online

I find this yet another interesting example of how advanced people were in our past.  Maybe it is just me, but I think we tend to underestimate the abilities of our predecessors.  Reminds me of the surprisingly modern surgery theaters they had in Rome.
