Yesterday we were talking about this crazy idea in Africa where a man can be cured of AIDS by having sex with a virgin and therefore "passing" it to her. I was saying how I didn't understand why a myth like this could go on and on, since it obviously would never actually work. It got me thinking about technology and wondering if they had better access to the Internet, like how we run to Google every five seconds to answer anything and everything, if stuff like this would dissolve (obviously education plays a huge role as well). But I could see how not having access to world wide information 24/7 that you would still be telling and re-telling old stories... and we all know how those end up. Maybe I should go take a shower and think about this some more? According to one of the guys downtown the other night you think better in the shower because there is more oxygen. Yeah! I'll be Googling that one for sure!
[Updated to add: Bush has been traveling in Africa this week and I was very excited to hear on NPR this morning that he promised Liberia educational help! "The president is announcing that the U.S. aid will provide 1 million textbooks to children by the start of the next school year and desks and seating for 10,000 students." Such great news!]

I think a lot in the shower. It helps me to unwind and open up the thought processes.
The shower is good for opening up more than just my pores? I knew it all along!
