Informative AND funny!

I don't know why, but I love the Science section of the New York Times. Even though my degrees deal with the Ancient World, and they've afforded me a job that keeps me quite happy, I really enjoy learning about how the world around us works, how our bodies function, what governs animal behavior, etc., etc. So I always look forward to Tuesdays when the Times updates its Science page. Yesterday's update had this article on the purpose and function of fat in our bodies. Not only did I learn something new, (that fat may be what allowed us to become smarter than the average monkey), but it's an entertaining, funny read. I really suggest you read it, if you have five minutes. Since liposuction, a scary-ass procedure, is becoming so common in our society that parents get it for their 12 year old daughter, it's good to be reminded that a little bit ot isf fa not a bad thing.
