A "geriatric nutritionist" huh? Now you can tell them to eat their words.

"Just how do we remember a face? The upper part of the face seems to be more important for recognition than the lower part. The hair turns out to be the most important factor, followed by the eyes, then the nose, and then to a lesser extent, the mouth and chin. If you're going to rob a bank, wear a wig, and don't bother with the fake beard." and then have a look at this group photo where the faces are all the same and the hair is different - you'd swear they are different people - exploratorium.edu

You know, I mis-read that heading as "Farting May Prevent Jetlag" and I went WTF!

Don't get me started on YouRube. I was one of the originals on there, from the very beginning. My "Wallyworld" channel had 336 videos up, 1200 subscribers, featured thrice in different categories, 7.5 Million views. And they canned me - "permanently suspended" for yep...infringing copyright. First was a video about the Kurdish girl stoned to death, second was a newsclip anout American soldiers liberating retarded Iraqi kids tied to their beds and lying in their own piss. Third was a Public Domain (at least that's how it was tagged on Internet Archive) clip of a very early Camel cigarette commercial. Now I now this has probably been done by a bot. And I now they have to by law suspend accounts of those deemed to be "repeat offenders" but the part that really sticks in my craw is there is no redress. There is no "Community Liaison" person you can contact and you can Whistle Dixie for any Google minion to answer your email.
But I'll give this link to the people at YouTomb - a research project of MIT Free Culture. The purpose of the project is to investigate what kind of videos are subject to takedown notices due to allegations of copyright infringement with particular emphasis on those for which the takedown may be mistaken. Although their initial focus is on videos hosted by YouTube, they are interested in other video collections as well. cheers, Malcolm, Paris

Love this story! Here's more on the subject - In 1988 The Hitler Diaries forger Konrad Kujau, after being released from four years of prison, opened a gallery in Stuttgart where he sold “authentic fakes". Authentic fakes - don't you love it? These included not only forgeries of Hitler’s paintings, but also reproductions of Dalis, Monets, Rembrandts, and Van Goghs. He signed each painting with both his own name and that of the original artist. Many of these “authentic fakes” sold for tens of thousands of marks. In fact, his work became so popular that other forgers began to create forged copies of Kujau’s forgeries.
It gets better. When Kujau died in 2000, his great-niece, Petra Kujau, was subsequently charged with selling hundreds of fakes of his fakes. Turns out she was buying oil paintings from Asia for as little as 10 euros apiece, write Kujau’s signature on them, and flogging them off for up to 3,500 euros! ha ha ha.

Hey, I know those two! That's Dumb & Dumber.

Great post but I must pick you up on one thing - Changi was not a "notorious death/POW camp". My father was incarcerated there after the fall of Singapore and went to the real death camp Sandakan in Borneo afterwards. He was shipped with the other officers to Kuching POW camp and survived after 3 1/2 dreadful years. The enlisted men at Sandakan weren't so lucky - only six out of the 2,400 Australians survived the war.
As digger history puts it - ""Changi became known as the most notorious camp in Asia, and in the minds of many people in England, Australia, and America, the Changi prisoner-of-war camp would invoke visions of atrocities, starvation, bad living conditions and emaciated men. It was the place where prisoners-of-war were reduced to a physical state more looking like living skeletons. As a prisoner-of-war, not only in the Changi Camp but in various camps in Singapore and Siam [Thailand], I cannot understand how Changi had earned such a reputation. My memories of Changi have never been unpleasant.
Prisoners-of-war in Changi did suffer deprivation and loss of self-esteem, but conditions were not appalling. Although food was rationed, it was provided every day. The camp was also provided with amenities, such as electric lights and piped water, which contributed to our cleanliness and good healthy conditions."
