I'm kind of partial to Jaynes. Among unsupported theories about consciousness, his is pretty creative.

OT: The NY blood center just tested my last donation for cholesterol and sent me the results. Now I feel a certain responsibility to go research whether they're interesting at all - I've never really thought about my cholesterol levels personally before.
Why were they testing for cholesterol? I hadn't realized they would test for anything other than transmissible diseases, let alone notify you.
The NY blood center banned me from donating for a year because I took a trip to Costa Rica. I'm pretty sure the lady who banned me was interpreting her document wrong about what areas of Costa Rica are a malaria risk, but its not like I can appeal. I may have to just donate blood surreptitiously in other states.
6: If it is bad, just remember that if you didn't fast, it doesn't count for reals.
7: I can't donate blood forever because of my time on an apparently disease-ridden island off the coast of France.
I gave blood the day before yesterday in an actual Bloodmobile that was parked in front of our office building. I keep waiting for the Spermmobile to schedule an appearance but so far, no dice.
5: Total was quite low -- 146. HDL could have been higher -- 55, but you need 60 or better to be in the ideal category. Not that I'd ever worried about it before, but now I kinda want to start chugging sardines and go donate blood again to see if it helps.
They never want my blood either, because I had some weirdo grandfather strain of mono many moons ago.
Um, laydeezzzzzzzzzzzzz.
11: You should always disinfect his cheek before you kiss him if another grandchild has already kissed that cheek.
10: Worry when the Toilmobile, Tearsmobile, and Sweatmobile show up.
Rejoice when the four Humormobiles show up.
The Tearsmobile is better than the Episiautomobile.
10: When I get my Lipitor in about five years, I'll break out the violin for you and your 146.
8.2: on an apparently disease-ridden island off the coast of France.
Great Britain?

It should be obvious from the post title that I'm thinking of a schema for generating pleasing titles and that the post body consists of several titles generated from that schema.

LB made me worry enough that I made an appointment for a physical. Stupid medicine.

Anyway - Jaynes is great fun. Good he is still being remembered. If he just would have been as boring as Dennett he might just have had an impact. And, in this case, a positive one.
