I've been reading the Guardian Weekend Supplement in one hand and New Scientist in the other, as surely one of them will help to make sense of the chaos of my life. With my other hand I'm stroking the cat, and with my other other hand playing scrabble on Facebook. There's a cup of tea somewhere, as well.

Unless you talk to other scientists, in which case it doesn't, might not, or possibly could lead to an entirely new way of establishing systems. Hurrah.
