Jake, Evil Monkey, and Shelly are at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting. Jake has this to say about the state of research:
There are the researchers of breathtaking sophistication who hide tiny details in the fine print of their poster that are more interesting than my entire thesis. But for each one of them there are fifty "We removed left hemisphere of rat. Rat was sad." and at least a hundred "While subject was in fMRI, we showed them a Marx brothers video as opposed to a documentary on the meadow vole. Activity was different. We don't know why."
That made me laugh. I don't know why.

Why a duck?
One of its legs are both the same?
"One of its legs are both the same?"
Yes, the left is more!
