Back to a Favorite Hobby

That hobby is taking quotations out of contex. These two gems are from the Aug26-Sept1 Economist.

From article Making Apples from Oranges:
"On the next rung up the ladder of difficult mathematics comes doing the same thing in four dimensional space."

From article Changing Connections:
"A study published this week shows that fatherhood increases the nerve connections in the region of the brain that controls goal-driven behaviour - at least, it does in marmosets."

On a different note
Also in there is a warning that should be passed on to all (though I hope all my faithful readers could figure this out all by themselves): Don't buy stocks on a tip from a spam email!!!! You will lose your money. Amazingly, they cite a study that found that spam-targeted stocks' prices fluctuate 13% more than average after a flurry of emails. So, somebody is buying this stuff. I'm hoping that it's people who are just trying (foolishly) to undercut the spammers on the sell out, but by the time you get the email it's already too late.
