Imbibing the heady interwebs



Although I don't "head up research at Penn" (good one, Mom), I actually do stuff besides creating mysterious siblings who, apparently, prefer the mullet.  I just found out that a paper I've been working on with colleagues for almost two years was finally accepted which will probably generate some controversy as soon as it comes out.  I'm hoping for a Sports Illustrated profile with a shirtless cover photo.

P90X - Possible Negatives

Is this Nick's goal?
Even when he’s not flexing, Mostafa Ismail of Egypt probably has a bigger bicep than you’ve ever seen. His left arm is 24.5 inches around when relaxed and balloons to 25.5 inches when he makes a muscle — larger than the average human head. Ismail has spent the last 11 years of his life—he trains six days a week and eats six meals a day—trying to impress with his biceps and now hopes to compete in “naturally enhanced body-building competitions.” He would need to use both biceps there.
