dominosteine, antibodies and heels

There's always a million and one things to post until i actually sit down to post.

Recently discovered at Aldi (a German supermarket-type store to which i was taken last week by a very insistent friend), dominosteine (or domino cubes, as the package called them). As i'm a huge fan of both gingerbread and marzipan, i couldn't help but get them and they're awesome. The ones i had used persipan, which is like marzipan (i like that that link is specifically differentiated from Marzipan) only with ground apricot kernels used in place of almonds.

A NYTimes article regarding hashtags, interesting.

So, while watching the results of yesterday's presidential election, a (limited) general survey was done on a roomful of scientists regarding the differences between the antibody binding protein A and protein G. These seem to be that protein G binds to the fc/fab portions of antibodies much more tightly, but protein A was discovered first and  is cheaper, so gets some use.

i happen to be a fan of high heels, though i rarely wear them. However, it's curious that extremely high heels tend to be associated with ladies of the night. Asking urban dictionary (semi-nsfw) supports the theory that this is because they tend to strongly attract male attention. Hmm.
