When I die should I put my name here or start my own thread?

Both, but also don't forget to updaye the OO medical/getting old thread too.

Always post in other people's death threads, otherwise they won't post in yours. (apologies to Yogi Berra)

That does expose a gap we have in thread topics.

Should we start a 'celebrity and otherwise' thread?

We're pretty sure you'll be here forever!

My OO avatar weeps.

I read "Consciousness Explained" when it came out. I remember being disappointed that it didn't actually explain consciousness in a scientific manner. I see that one critic said it should be called "Consciousness Explained Away." And we still can't explain consciousness, but at least he took a good stab at it.

Anne Innis Dagg at 91. The giraffe whisperer.

The Waterloo, Ont., woman's passion for giraffes was highlighted in the 2018 award winning documentary The Woman Who Loves Giraffes.

Dagg received worldwide recognition as the first Western scientist to study giraffes in the wild in 1956, when she made a solo trip to South Africa when she was 23 years old.

Her book Giraffe: Biology, Behaviour and Conservation is known as the bible of giraffes and is still used by scientists to this day.
