Things I Learned Today

  1. There is a small group of babushkas in Chernobyl that returned there in solidarity after the nuclear reactor accident.
  2. Apparently they are doing just fine.
  3. Apparently the affects of radiation are reduced with age.
  4. When you sleep, your brain loosens and allows your cerebrospinal fluid to wash out any toxic waste that may have accumulated during the day.  This is why lack of sleep is linked to Alzheimers and other diseases.
  5. Buddhists don’t worship Buddha.  They may keep statues of Buddha merely as reminders to develop peace and love within themselves.

What a day.
