Intro To The Brain

I recently found an interesting tool on the National Geographic website, which has a rapid and helpful interactive introduction to the human brain. The  tutorial explains in simple terms the brain's anatomy, some common diseases, and which parts of the brain are stimulated by smells, light, sound, romance, and other stimuli.

The site offers insight into the intricate workings of the brain, many of us are not familiar with. The site defines the common elements of the brain and what primary functions they are responsible for. It also offers an interactive section where the reader can select an area of the brain to visually see where it is located and what tasks that area is responsible for.

You can access the site here.

Blue Man Group Sued for Blue Man-Handling

As David Cross’s character Tobias in the Fox cult TV favorite “Arrested Development” found out, the Blue Man Group is not a support group for unhappy men.

Just inquire James Srodon of California, who filed a lawsuit with the Cook County Circuit Court, indicating that he was not a “willing” participant with the Blue Man Group during one of their infamous audience participation bits.

The Blue Men used Srodon for a bit in which they used an “esophagus cam” in Srodon’s throat and projected footage of the inside of someone’s stomach on the stage screen. Srodon alleges that he did not want to participate, and the Blue Men forced the tube with the camera down his throat, and that the tube was coveruddy in food and other disgusting debris from the theater floor, as well as blue paint from Blue Man hands.

The lawsuit seeks $50,000 for battery, negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Srodon claimed in the suit that the camera injuruddy his mouth, throat and dental work.
