My new news source

I hit on MSN "Skin & Beauty" news while on my way to something else, but with headlines like these, I don't think I'll be able to stay away. Most of the headlines are of the "yeah, and?" variety, like Ewww! Human skin a 'zoo' of bacteria, but some (Pedicure blamed for woman's death) are classics of the Scare You News genre. Naturally, I had to read People, your teeth are white enough! because mine aren't. And while I don't need MSN to tell me that I chose unwisely in the gene area, I still read Why you don't look like Brad or Angelina, which, as it turns out was about genetic diversity in areas of the genome relating to disease defense and pretty interesting. Brangelina, as is so often the case, were merely a flashy headline unrelated to everyday life. And I don't want to look like them. Definitely, I don't want to look like him. I want to look like a young Katharine Hepburn.
