Sleep Naked (it’s healthy)

SleepNaked.org is a small, but persuading, campaign about why people should sleep naked.

Not only is sleeping naked more comfortable, but it’s good for your health too. Increasing your level of comfort makes it easier for you to relax and sleep…
If you sleep with a partner, being naked heightens the level of intimacy between you, and you are likely to have sex more often. You may also feel closer to your partner as a result of sleeping naked with them

I guess one can also argue if people sleep naked less pajamas will be bought thereby saving the environment a little.

Beavers return to New York!

Great Lines to Start and End Books

Over at Crooked Timber there is a discussion going on about the best opening lines to (mainly) academic books.

Some examples from the comments:
“In this book I shall show that there are no books.”
“Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent.”
“Chaos theory is not nearly as exciting as it sounds. How could it be?”
