Buffalo Theory

In an episode of "Cheers," Cliff is seated at the bar

describing the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. 

For your enjoyment:

"Well, you see Norm, it's like this...

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest 

buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it is the slowest and 

weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural 

selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the 

general speed and health of the whole group keeps 

improving by regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate

as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, 

excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. 

But naturally, it attacks the slowest and 

weakest brain cells first. In this way, 

regular consumption of beer eliminates the

weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and 

more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter

after a few beers."

Field Trip

Well, I wasn't in Tempe much today so I figured I'd post a fresh photo from my road trip. Here's the sign outside the "Space Age Restaurant" in Gila Bend. It's just about the only building not crumbling in Gila Bend along I-8 which runs through town. The funky space age looking building with a flying saucer on top is eye catching. The food however, is not their specialty. I was in town to spelunk into a lava tube cave.

Greetings from Tempe!

Now that the Tempe Daily Photo blog is underway, I think it is about time that I include a welcome sign. This one is located in Plazita de Descanso Park downtown.
