Arbit coincidence

Many years ago...  Er, no!  Let me change that.  Some years ago two teen aged girls on their way to a party in South Dakota disappeared.  No body had a clue about what happened to them till last September when a car lying upside down appeared in a lake around the place the girls' intended destination.  They found the remains and some other objects belonging to the girls.  There was no alcohol or any clue of foul play.  It seems like an accident.  The date of disappearance of the two girls?  29 May 1971!!!

I have just started growing a beard and here comes a news on beards being "so 2013" in BBC.  Even after so many years on planet Earth, I continue to defy the laws of fashion and attraction.

In BBC,
"Neurogastronomy is based on the realisation that everything we eat or drink is processed by our senses"
 "We see it, we hear it, we smell it, we taste it, we feel it. All those senses come together."
" idea of listening to the sounds of the seaside to enhance the flavours of a seafood dish."
"Those eating pink strawberry cake from the white plates rated the dessert as 10% sweeter than those who ate from the black plates."
"have shown that introducing a square or angular plate intensifies the difference, with roundness accentuating sweetness."
"It seems we associate higher notes, flutes and tinkling piano, with sweetness - deeper, more resonant tones evoke bitterness."
