42-39

From Yahoo sports:

The "Game of the Century," the first 1 vs. 2 matchup in this storied rivalry, was played a day after the death of feisty former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler. The teams couldn't have honored his memory with a better game, although it certainly wasn't the brand of football he and Woody Hayes coached when they battled for a decade.

Sorry your team were not the victors but then again it's not always about "winning". What is "winning" anyway? Sometimes by losing you win don't you?

I much enjoyed your frisbee/aerobie recounts, I had not realized that you had this ancilliary ability! I suspect then that you are one of these extremely well coordinated people that do well in dancing and playing musical instruments?

Your missive about your tooth, I am impressed with medical treatment in general in the US. You Americans recognize that health is a very important aspect of life and so specialize. We brits have General Practitioners, jacks of all trades and masters of none. I recall having some root canal work done 3 or so years ago, it went on for about 18 months, it's meant to hurt, so good luck and take care of it.

Once human beings are able to turn an individuals cells back to their stem phase (thus despecifying them) and then making those cells turn into specific cells (heart, kidney, liver, limb) then the sky is the limit in terms of longevity isn't it? It's coming, it's almost here. Perhaps our children can live forever? .... Well for thousands of years anyway. This is awe inspiring.

I have decided that we humans, for some reason, are seeking that feeling of "awe". If that is true, then what could be the reason (if any) that we are seeking this feeling?
