Orowheat Health-full 10 grain Bread

February 4, 2012 at 9:07 pm (Interesting news, Random life, Shopping!)

I’m trying a new thing of being a BzzAgent, and my first campaign for them is to try for free! So far, the high protein and high fiber in the bread is helping me “keep fuller longer” as the bread is supposed to. It tastes surprisingly good too! Super moist, and thicker than most breads without being dry or crumbly. I love it. So I’m spreading the Bzz. :)

Beauty in Tragedy?

June 30, 2009 at 5:48 am (Interesting news)

So my favorite statue is of Cupid and Psyche embracing.

I was looking for the the actual title of the statue and very randomly found an interesting story about an archaeological find, but can’t seem to find any follow up. Frustrating!

Eternal Embrace courtesty of Archaeology.org

The Eternnal Embrace Couple

So basically, they found this young preserved couple locked in an eternal embrace of death near Verona, Italy. Archaeologists found it poignant a la Romeo and Juliet,  and kept the couple in tact, rather than digging the bones out. See story Here

Some stories mentioned they may have died of arrows, but this is the part I can’t find any follow up on. I want to know what they found! I’ve found unreliable sources with no links to the story the information came from, and tons of stories on the initial find. I want to find a story about the findings on the inspection of the bones.

Anyone a genius interweb net surfer who can find me the info? As Julie would say, I’ll give you a dollar?

On another note, I’m note sure why this is so interesting. I had a conversation today where we talked about how sacrifice and the difficulty of a relationship sometimes made love more tangible for people, when really, it shouldn’t be so hard. Are we all programmed to be attracted to this type of tragedy because it seems poetic and proves the depth of love? Maybe. Like the old couple in Titanic. That’s the only part of the movie I remember. Regardless, I want to know if it really was that tragic.
