NBIX
Four months ago, we added NBIX to
our little basket of speculative drug stocks, at $2.60. Yesterday, with the announcement
of a global marketing deal with an established drug company (as Guru foretold), the
stock closed at $5.37, giving us our double. Guru thinks, with time, it will
be worth considerably more. I’m holding all mine.
GLDD
Not the worst time to own shares in a dredging company, very
sad to say. Here’s
the press release.
HAND
DRYERS
Oleaginous: “The Dyson Airblades™ you wrote
about yesterday
are installed at the international terminal of San Francisco International
Airport, and I gotta say these things really work. I have hands with a lot of
excess oil that are near-impossible to dry with two paper towels, and these
devices dry my hands perfectly. Highly recommended.”
COOKING
LIKE A GUY™
The
container says, “best if purchased before 3/10/06” and I’m certain
I purchased it well before then, so it should be fine.
WHY IS
TODAY THURSDAY?

Seiffer:
“I loved the section on dozens counting and the length of a month. I
wonder if you could ask your readers the genesis (pun intended) of the weekly
Sabbath. It seems to me that unlike the month, year, and day the 7
day cycle has no physical or astronomical equivalent. And yet is seems to
be a very pervasive (perhaps universal) cycle that people observe in many
different cultures. I wonder if I'm right about that. I find it very practical
for many planning purposes and wonder if there's something innate to our
physiology about it.”

Does this
help?
BUT
WHY WOULD anyone DO THIS?

Amonn: “I
have you as an app on my iPhone – did you know that could be
done?” [No.] “Just use iPhone’s Safari browser to pull up
andrewtobias.com . . . push the + button in the lower middle portion
of the screen . . . then choose ‘add to home screen.’
You can then choose a name and click ‘add’ in the upper right
corner. This will create a new ‘app’ and whenever you click on it,
it will automatically bring up the most recent version of the website.”
