From the recent Daily Illuminator:
Researchers at the University of Zurich have discovered that a hormone nasal spray causes subjects to be more trusting and to invest more money in a proposal made by a stranger. Read about it in (of course) The Economist. Fnord.
OK, I’ve been too busy to write much lately. But since I promised to try to work more personal news in here, I’ve got a new scooter. I’ve owned a couple of other two-wheelers in the past (photos and perhaps comments later after the break), but this is my first new one:
It’s an MZ Moskito Classico, a 2-stroke 50cc, sort of a vespa wannabe look.
Overall, I’m not terribly impressed compared to my old Honda Aero 50 — it’s a bit slower, and feels a bit flimsier, but it’s brand new and hopefully will be hassle-free compared to my relatively bad luck reliability-wise with used ones. Anyone know if it will speed up any once it breaks in? Or if there are any relatively easy hop-ups for these?
