Stuff I found interesting or amusing  and thought I'd share.

- Fight or flight may be in our bones.

- Heh Heh

- Why the US defends Taiwan. The "other" China often gets overlooked.

- This can't be unseen.

- Australia concludes that China was behind cyber attack on parliament and political parties. It bugs me that the Chinese think they can get away with such attacks.

- Awesome!

- Telcom with ties to Chinese government misdirects Internet traffic for two and a half years. See what I mean.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

What a crazy night in sports!... Pretty sure I'd only eat the donut on the right... Jon Jones is out of UFC 200 because of a failed PED test. Wow - I had planned to go out to watch UFC 200 and bet heavily on Jones even though he was a 3-1 favorite. Now not so sure - may go out to watch a band instead... Wait - there's a Fight Club 2?... So Dwayne Wade is signing with the Bulls? Wow! Chicago's lineup is now Rajon Rondo, Wade and Jimmy Butler plus flotsam and jetsam. Good luck with that Bulls fans... Starting to think the Red Sox were wrong not to trade Blake Swihart for Cole Hamels... Can pot help protect against Alzheimer's? Better safe than sorry!... If the scientists behind the Juno probe had worn shirts with scantily clad women - would the unreal scientific achievement have gotten more press attention?...

Great look at how things went sour for Tom Thibodeau...  Who knew? Jacques Cousteau didn't learn to swim until he was 40-years old... Great news - study says drinking doesn't affect performance at work... Any story that begins with, "Me and this guy from Germany" immediately has got my interest... Cool - a snail drinking from a bubble... Instead of Lay's Potato Chips - I'm going to come out with Lady's Potato Chips. The only flavor will be Salt 'n Vinegar... Who knew part two? The last battle of the Civil War, the Battle of Palmito Ranch, was a Confederate victory... The real Jurassic World - this is a baby Blue Heron...
