Loco
I’m not 100% positive what I know the complete meaning of these lyrics, but I do know it sounds pretty.
“Loco, por esos ojos que me dicen que me aman,
cuando amanecen encimita de mi almohada,
tras esas noches de locura que me das
cuando te sueño.” -
A great blend of two stark emotions
Fantasie Impromptu - Frederic Chopin

Let me tell you now…
I want you back - Jackson 5

Santiago Ramón y Cajal
So what about the man himself (since I have been showing his lovely drawings recently)? You can see him in the image above. He was born in Spain in 1852. He was apprenticed to first a barber and then a cobbler. He must have had a pretty interesting childhood because there is also a story of how he was arrested at the age of eleven for firing a homemade cannon at the town gate and destroying it (which I have to say, I find pretty impressive even if destructive). He wanted to be an artist, but his father, who was Professor of Applied Anatomy at the University of Saragossa, persuaded him to go into medicine. He never gave up on art and even wrote some science fiction stories called “Vacation Stories.” I myself have not read any of them (five are still around and in publication, though originally published in 1905/written in 1885-6), but they seem to have mixed reviews. Anyway, he did enter the medical field quite successfully and used Golgi’s stain to draw images of the neurons he observed in the brain, merging science and art. Ramón y Cajal did more than just draw them though. He was able to garner a lot of functional information from what he saw and created what later became the Neuron Doctrine, which is the foundation of modern neuroscience. He shared the Nobel Prize for 1906 with Camillo Golgi for their work on the structure of the nervous system. He was quite an incredible person and definitely worth a little biography.

STUDY: Most Rabbits Miss Ally McBeal
According to a new study from Nielsen, a majority of rabbits miss the ’90s legal comedy Ally McBeal. ”We can’t quite explain why,” said Nielsen spokesperson Armand Grossman, “but bunnies really love David E. Kelly. They loved Boston Legal. We see huge numbers in the rabbit demo for Harry’s Law, too. But most of all, they absolutely loved Ally McBeal.”
McBeal is also the number one show among rabbits on Netflix streaming and has been a top seller for DVDs among the furry creatures. ”It’s not just legal stuff, either,” continued Grossman. ”JAG bombed with bunnies, and so did Raising the Bar. It’s literally just Kelly-penned shows that seem to do well.”
