I used to mock but now I'm beginning to believe.

Or it could simply be a mild attack of geographic tongue.

Geographic tongue is a common oral finding. It is AKA benign migratory glossitis and is seen in up to 1/30 of the human population. Females have it twice as often as males. It is thought that inheritance is polygenic. There is a slightly increased risk if the patient has psoriasis. Most are asymptomatic – though it may cause mild sensitivity to spicy foods. The treatment is reassurance and education. It may come and go for a brief period of time or persist for months to years.

Pneumonia seems to be common at the moment.

...it was a factor in her succumbing at just 59. Pneumonia is often just the finisher of some other condition that weakens one...

I've learned some very enjoyable stuff today. Veteran film villain Ernest Thesiger ...

... studied at the Slade School of Art where he made friends with William Bruce Ellis Ranken.

Thesiger later married Ranken's sister. He also had a rather unusual hobby ...

How old are these scores? Immigration and abortion may have changed both the UK and the US.

How old are these scores? Immigration and abortion may have changed both the UK and the US.

IQ scores aren't reliable indicators for intelligence given their education bias. Literacy and numeracy rates skew results in places without established education systems.

Once again learned that positivity and positive thinking attracts great things.
