We'll be doing Ethiopian food again this time. Ethiopian is a bit like Indian or Thai, but not as spicy. Instead of rice, you get sheets of spongy bread with your food, and you tear off pieces of bread and use them to pick up food with your hands -- it's a lot of fun!

We'll be having Mexican food at Mi Nidito, a pleasant little place not far from Times Square. It you're on a budget, you can get a pair of burritos or enchiladas for $14, and some appetizers are less than that, but most entrees are more like $17-$22. The fajitas are AWESOME. Menus are available at http://www.miniditoo Analyzing the genes of modern human beings, geneticists have determined all non-African peoples are descended from a few hundred individuals who left Africa 90,000 - 70,000 years ago. http://www.telegraph Obama ran for the white house promising a more transparent administration, but in several ways he's gone back on that promise. 8 minute video: http://blog.indecisi A study finds that men tend to be in agreement about what makes the opposite sex attractive, but not so for women. http://www.scienceda |

The next meeting will be at Chanpen Thai, an affordable Thai restaurant a few blocks from Times square. Most entrees are $15, a Thai beer is $5. Menu: http://www.chanpenth The extreme right has been screaming for a long time that Obama is a "Socialist" The government hasn't just been bailing out the banks and automakers, there has also been a lot of effort and billions of dollars focused on trying to prop up real estate prices, and in the course of that we are running the risk of repeating the errors that got us into this mess in the first place. http://blogs.moneyce Public homeless shelters in NYC are starting to charge working occupants rent. http://www.nytimes.c |

This time we'll be going back to L'Allegria, a fine Italian restaurant a few blocks from Times Square, at the corner of 44th St & 9th Avenue, menu at http://www.lallegria The first topic will be "Six Geniuses Who Saw Their Inventions Go Terribly Wrong" http://www.cracked.c The second topic will be a Washington Post article about how Abu Zubaida, an Al-Qaeda terrorist who we caught within a year of 9/11 and tortured extensively, turned out to be a much smaller fish than we thought. Interesting how the title of the article describes him as a "Detainee" The last topic will be another Washington Post article showing that children brought up in stressful households tend to be dumber. As far as I can tell, the study only covered children raised by their biological parents. So could it be that the child's household was stressful because the parents, like the child, had genes for lower intelligence? http://www.washingto |

We can find out everything we want to know much more cheaply by sending robots, and furthermore, unlike humans, robots don't have to come back, potentially bringing dangerous microbes with them. http://www.economist Obama says he'll close Gitmo. Exactly how he'll do it is unclear. http://en.wikipedia. Just to get people's blood boiling, here's Ann Coulter on the subject of single motherhood. Interestingly, Ann is against abortion, I don't know how she reconciles that. http://www.humaneven |
