  Site was last updated in 1995! Still look great, especaially those shark nose and ray tail sticking out of header!

  Excellent storyteller! This reminds me of a long running series from the Chicago Sun Times: ''Things I Learned En Route to Looking Up Other Things.'' That column dovetailed with my love of reading the World Book Encyclopedia in a random fashion.

  Interesting! Reminds me of generating electricity with a lemon as a kid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_battery

  Thank you for this! It is sobering and fascinating to read how complicated muscle control is.
