10/25/05 Bad Habits are Hard to Break

The question has been posed - "Can you go one post without mentioning the White Sox?". Despite game 3 of the World Series tonight, here's my best shot...

MIT explains why bad habits are hard to break. "The neural patterns get established in the basal ganglia, a brain region critical to habits, addiction and procedural learning."

20 people were fined for using the letters W and Q. Grover, Oscar unavailable for comment.

Does your daily dose of local and national news not worry you enough about things you can't control? If you want more unnecessary worry in your life, read this article about Life After the Oil Crash. My executive summary of the article is, "Life is gonna suck pretty soon. Enjoy it while we still have oil." Here's an example of what the article touches on:

"Oil prices that far north of $100/barrel would almost certainly trigger massive, last-ditch global resource wars as the industrialized nations of the world scramble to grab what little of the black stuff is remaining. This may explain why the director of the Selective Service recently recommended the military draft be expanded to include both genders, ages 18-to-35."

And, "crude oil prices could touch $380 a barrel by 2015."

Yay.

Here's another bummer of an article - Why Broadband sucks in the United States.
