Jeff: That other story was about athletes performing better. In any event, it’s apparently a good idea to clean oneself out before you compete, whether in athletics or in some academic pursuit.

"During a study of glucose metabolism throughout the human body, a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan of human organs showed that a region near the rectum showed an uptake of glucose levels that were comparable to those found in the brain. Since glucose is a key factor in cognitive function, researchers wondered if there was any connection, especially since previous studies linked constipation with dementia in older adults."
Thus suggesting that they have their hindquarters where their headquarters ought to be?

thought os some other reasons
- Some wires were crossed at the Starlink level, after all that system is under heavy use.
- judi has a wicked, sophisticated sense of humor as she fiddle with the Starlink connection.
That angry former-employee payback is one of those 'payback is a bitch' things. Hey, I'm not saying.

My take is a guy could get his hand stuck in his girlfriend's poop while she is thinking.

I bet these researchers can't tell the difference between Uranus and a hole in the ground.
