  5. To give it a little more context…an excellent New Yorker article:

    I read the article in conjunction with this TED talk and the world made sense for 2 seconds.

  11. i saw something like this on pbs one day, except it was with gummy bears. apparently the studies show that the kids who waited longer ended up doing better on the SATs later in life! very funny.
