extreme brilliance and knowing when to quit

Today I learned that a famous person (in the EI community, anyway) with one of those distrusted-but-handy science degrees (in parts of the EI community, anyway) will, for a fee, swing a pendulum to help you make those important decisions. I suspect that's a creative way to charge a consultation fee for telling potentially irrational, new-agey advice-seekers with chemicals in their brains what to do, but in such a way that they won't argue with you. It's freakin' brilliant.

Other than that, I learned that margaritas without ice in them are nasty, and I have to go to bed now.
