titbits

I saw today a chap had written that if women really were paid less solely on the basis of being women, businesses would not employ any men, because they'd be more expensive.

I have also just read that fever is associated with a 7-13% rise in energy consumption per degree (centigrade) increase in body temperature, which is estimated to be roughly equivalent to a 70kg person walking 45km (Hotamisligil and Erbay, 2008).
No wonder being ill is so tiring!
