		<description><![CDATA[A large fly that was buzzing around the room in which I’ve been doing my reading suddenly fell down and landed on the couch across from me with an audible thud.  Here’s my brain: That was a weird noise; was that the fly? It was!  Must’ve been massive to make that noise. If it’s dead, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to the goofy interests of our usual attendants (and not, though the allegation would be fair, due to the name of the event), subject matter at Evenings for Brains tends regularly towards neuroscience and psychology in general.  As a result, I was acquainted with V. S. Ramachandran’s TED Talk, and was subsequently chuffed all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Especially for accomplished photographers who have the skill, patience, and nerve to capture mind-blowing images of nature, it&#8217;s a shame that Photoshop has ruined Truth.  Even if their motivation is internal and they’re not especially interested in riches and fame, it must be a little deflating to consider that a recent triumph needs to weather [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s an increasingly rare type of fountain pen ink that was discontinued in 2001 called Parker Penman.  The problem seems to have been that the ink was unusually saturated and included a suspension of metallic particles, achieving vibrant colours and fun reflective effects (as Diamine Majestic Blue is known to, today) but also clogging the [...]]]></description>
