• Study reveals lasting effects of common weed killer on brain health | ASU News

  The researchers tested two levels of glyphosate exposure: a high dose, similar to levels used in earlier research, and a lower dose that is close to the limit used to establish the current acceptable dose in humans. Furthermore, the scientists discovered these symptoms persisted long after a six-month recovery period in which exposure was discontinued. This lower dose still led to harmful effects in the brains of mice, even after exposure ceased for months. While reports show that most Americans are exposed to glyphosate daily, these results show that even a short period could potentially cause neurological damage.

• The Story Behind “Girl” by The Beatles and How They Pushed the Boundaries with Some Lyrical Naughtiness

  Paul McCartney told author Barry Miles, “My main memory is that John wanted to hear the breathing, wanted it to be very intimate, so George Martin put a special compressor on the voice, then John dubbed it. … It was always amusing to see if we could get a naughty word on the record: ‘fish and finger pie,’ ‘pr–k teaser,’ ‘tit tit tit tit.’
