Scientific Measurement

Last night I dreamed that a friend, a colleague, was explaining to me how his lab was measuring the female menstrual cycle to many digits of significance. He was as proud of this as of determining more digits of pi. It didn't seem that he was aware of the variation among women.

AH told me about a dream she had. The world was taken over by aliens. She had been told not to take anything from anyone. A girl handed her something AH thought was her camera. It rang, and it turned out it was a cell phone. When AH answered it, the aliens blanked her memory and a chip popped out of her head with her memory on it. She didn't remember if the chip was compact flash or another format.
