A few things to promote while we deal with the joy from seeing another Yankees season end unsuccessfully.

* Alex Doonesbury is now attending MIT, and as “Kai von Fintel points out”:http://www.semantics-online.org/2006/10/stata-in-the-comics that means the Stata Center is now immortalised in a comic strip.

* “Brian Leiter reports”:http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2006/10/sixmonth_morato.html that Nous and PPR are not accepting new submissions for six months. I’m rather disappointed in this news for several reasons, but I guess we’ll just have to live with it.

* “Flinders University researchers report”:http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/heres-why-you-hate-mondays/2006/10/06/1159641511693.html that if you don’t sleep in on weekends, you feel better on Mondays and Tuesdays.

* If you are in the United States, the “deadlines to register to vote”:http://www.mydd.com/story/2006/10/4/172322/483 are coming up soon. Several of us around here at TAR have no voting rights at all, but it would be a shame if TAR readers were non-voters too.

Finally, this is one of the funnier Daily Show segments I’ve seen for a while.
