I would like to see someone try and make a movie of Foucault’s Pendulum.

Did they have Aristotle’s treatise on comedy?

Who knew?

only eat fish oil from a Scandinavian country, other wise too much mercury.

The other thing to look for is radiation from Fukushima in your fish. I use Nordic Naturals Omega-3 + D, thinking of switching to their cod liver oil, which their web site says is 100% arctic cod.

If you find another brand with similar quality, lower price, please let me know.

“Name of the Rose” by Umberto Eco.

My first thought. The tip-off (to me) in that movie was when the guy reading to the people at supper, ostentatiously licked his finger and turned the page. I didn't know what was killing the monks, but knew that scene had something to do with it.

Unless you found some bindings.

A footnote:

The Chinese are known for their bindings.

I owned a bookstore for about a dozen years. The ink in books printed in China was so strong that it burned my nose, especially the books with color printing.

Printing costs on full color books are a fraction of the cost in USA due to the substandard inks.

We had a FEMA trailer after Hurricane Katrina that was giving off formaldehyde gas inside. We didn’t find out until later, but we were all suffering the same symptoms as the people in this story plus sore throats.

the husband told the broadcaster that they had accumulated tens of thousands of them

Hoarders. Maybe the mouse droppings were the real problem.

Prague Cemetery would be a great but impossible movie. Foucault’s Pendulum actually reads like you are watching a movie.

““Name of the Rose” by Umberto Eco.”

Movie adaption stars Sean Connery. Good movie.

Similar symptoms happened here after hurricane Irene. People with new houses are now suffering with respiratory ailments. My neighbor moved into her brand new “beautiful” prefab house and within 5 months ended in a hospital. I never see her open her windows.

I wonder if she used bad Chinese construction materials to rebuild. There was a huge problem with that after Katrina, too.

The couple spent about 8,000 yuan (S$1,630) on medical treatment but nothing worked.

THIS.

THIS is how you do health care.

Republicans, please take note.
