Freddy, there is a program about gulf war syndrome on PBS at ten o'clock tonight that you might find interesting. At this point, do you believe it is a real issue? I'm not sure what the show concludes, because it is brand new, but one of the shots in the advertisement is a man holding his baby, who has a sweet little FLIPPER sticking out from its shoulder instead of an arm.
Incidentally, everyone, I'm watching tv tonight, because PSB has a really fascinating evening planned. There's a documentary on some Chinese mummies, which I HOPE are the blonde ones with brightly colored silk garments and ornate long braids and European backgrounds. I think the current controversy among archaeologists over very early cross-cultural travel/influences is fascinating. There is the Bay of Jars off South America, with hundreds of jars from second or third century Rome scattered all over the place after a shipwreck, but academic archaeologists still insist there was no travel to South America then! Anyway, I digress, but then there is another documentary about the Ice Man, which is a repeat, I think, but really a good one, and then the Frontline episode about gulf war syndrome. |
