My old obsession with toxicology is back.

DVD boxsets and the Natascha Kampusch kidnapping.

I dont know why, its always something that triggers them, and I cant remember what that was at the moment, but Ive been reading alot about the Gulf War, perhapse looking at some pics sent to me by a friend, i know ppl over their and I think 1 day I was remembering seeing the desert strom on TV and wondering how different (maby) things would be had we went in then and finished the job.

Science-y, of course. But I get carried away with fun projects. Want to know what I did last night? I stayed up all night! Anyway, about the following: The formatting will be off and, worse, the shades of white will not show up so use your imagination. Here it is! By the Lab Pet.



Layman’s Guide to Homeland Security

everything you need to know about the color code emergency alert system

The current administration apparently has a color code system in place to alert you of impending doom inflicted by an unscrupulous individual with a nasty temperament and no impulse control of probably Middle Eastern descent (or brown eyes) who is having a seriously bad day and is ready to take it out on you personally. According to this color code system I guess RED is designated the highest alert, meaning ensuing chaos, ORANGE is just slightly less drastic, and so on. This implies GREEN means the bin laden family is on holiday and the camels are happy. I never really understood the current color code system (and I’m a photochemist! Infrared, < 400 nm, and Ultraviolet, > 750 nm, are way too sophisticated for the administration) so I substituted the following emergency alert system for your security. You better memorize this revised system ASAP too….or else. I do not know what ‘or else’ means, but you’re in trouble! And the IRS knows. Recognize these colors and respond appropriately. Handy if you happen to be redecorating too.

Code Ecru
Ok, this is dire and I’m not kidding. Like ‘Ice 9’ but nightmarish. They are out to get you and paranoia is in order.

Code Antique White
Stay Home. Do not answer the door, under any circumstances, even if it’s the girl scouts selling cookies. Assume the fetal position. Hide!

Code Oyster
Make certain your assault weapons arsenal is loaded. Call your mother and tell her you love her. Remember that imaginary Y2K crisis? Well, I hoped you saved your Y2K home survival kit – you need it now. Or at least that duct tape.

Code Off-White
Do you have prayer beads? If so, use them now. You may have to resort to cannibalism to save yourself. I hate to be the one to tell you this.

Code Bone
Look out. I have no advice for you. Are there black helicopters hovering over your house (compound) yet? Duck!

Code Cream
Make peace with your higher power. Existence as you know it is over. Stay home and watch comforting daytime TV, like the Dr. Phil Show and as many soap operas as tolerable.

Code Soft Beige
Is Voldemort on your speed dial? Suicide crisis line? You need all the help you can get at this point. Have you considered becoming a crack addict to cope? Trepanation?

oh, really?
my mycology fixation kind of touches on the types of poisoning caused by fungi, but i always found the neurotoxology of puffer fish to be fascinating.
do you study the poison pathways or just types of toxin?

Forever and always-cats!

wtf.

I have several current obsessions. Video games, internet, reading, and God knows what else.

Tommy, The Who, thinking that I am like AS Roma in football with my strategy of mind and strength in tactics, thinking that I wear them Roma colours on one of the Riddick characters - that preacher guy who's also a Furian like Riddick, but in his armor just the armor being in Roma red.

And such things. Weird how the mind works.

I'm obsessed with the treatment of depression; lol.

Schizophrenia, psychosis and the history of psychiatry here. It started this summer by reading up on autism a little after I had diagnosed myself with AS, and then moving to related subjects when I realized they were intertwined. Autism doesn't feature what's called the positive symptoms of schizophrenia of course, but it does share the negative ones like lack of interpersonal skills, impaired ability to take care of daily tasks etc etc.

Upon hearing that autistic children are being subjected to antipsychotic drugs today and finding that an outrage, I decided I needed to make up my mind on whether those drugs are warranted in any condition. Half the schizophrenia patients don't take their harmful medication because of the severe side effects and the dysphoria they bring you, so the fact that governments in the whole industrialized world can decide on involuntary treatment for you if they feel you might end up harming yourself got me a bit uneasy.

It's scary to hear how doctors are prescribing anti-psychotics for a large range of different conditions these days, even selling the drugs as sleeping pills.

I've always been interersted in folklore and mythology but lately I've become very interested in the GreenMan.
