		<title>New Lamp and Warning Labels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought a table lamp today. The label said: MAX 150-WATT 3-WAY TYPE A LAMP OR USE MAX 29-WATT 3-WAY CFL LAMP Why would there be a different max for type A and CFL bulbs? The label inside said the lampshade said: PLEASE REMOVE THIS LABEL BEFORE USING THE SHADE That makes sense, because it might catch fire. How many people would read a label inside a lamp shade? I bet a bunch of people miss it. I also removed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Math and Psychology &#8211; Calculating Disaster Probabilties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Normally, math and psychology are separate fields, but they come together in calculating the odds of a nuclear disaster. You can hire engineers to calculate the probably of a nuclear meltdown. The calculation itself is a math question, but getting them to do a good job is a psychological question. What if their boss is evil? What if there is disagreement and the corporation suppresses the bad reports? The drug industry also has a problem with companies suppressing reports.]]></description>

		<title>Jurassic Park Nuclear Power Plants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the complaints about the original Jurassic Park movie was “Who would design a zoo where if the power failed, the animals would escape?” I have the same question about nuclear power plants. Who would design nuclear power plant such that if the power failed, the plant would blow up?]]></description>

		<title>Lindsay Lohan and the News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[News organizations are a bit two-faced about Lindsay Lohan. Sex sells, so they like to put a picture of a sexy lady on television. When she wears a sexy dress to court, they put that on television and then they criticize her for wearing a sexy dress. If they didn’t cover the story, nobody would care. Years ago, the press criticized Britney Spears for not wearing panties. I blame the paparazzi for taking up-skirt shots. They had to align their [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Can Run But You Can&#8217;t Hide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You can run but you can&#8217;t hide unless you&#8217;re a Roomba. Today, I searched everywhere for my Roomba and couldn&#8217;t find it. Eventually, I found it under the recliner. I didn&#8217;t know that it could get there. On a previous occasion, it opened a closet door by hitting it, went into the closet, and then closed the door by hitting it. It was trapped and it took me a long time to find it.]]></description>

		<title>Tax Cuts and Deficit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All these tax cuts make me nervous. We have a budget deficit to deal with and without tax increases, the deficit won&#8217;t be brought under control. In the short run, everyone is trying to stimulate the economy. The problem is that the recession may last for years. We can&#8217;t keep these deficits up for an extended time period. The way to fix the job market is through tariffs. Neither party is proposing that.]]></description>

		<title>Athletic Fit Extra Large</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some stores sell athletic fit t-shirts where the waist is smaller than the chest. I&#8217;m fat, so they don&#8217;t fit me quite right. I found I can get around the problem by buying extra large. That&#8217;s an oxymoron &#8212; athletic fit extra large.]]></description>
