Alan Smithee (8/16/10)

From 1968 to 2000, Alan Smithee was the official pseudonym used by film directors who didn’t want their real names attached to a film (perhaps due to disagreeable editing, a loss of creative control, censorship for TV or airplane broadcasts, etc.).  If your name is Alan Smithee, it probably means your parents didn’t want to take credit for you.

Harsh.

Brown Phat vs White Fat (7/18/10)

Brown adipose tissue (aka brown fat) is one of two types of mammalian fat (the other is white fat).  The primary function of brown fat is to generate body heat-  it’s especially important in hibernating animals and newborns that don’t shiver.  (I’m sure it’s even more helpful for hibernating newborn babies…)  Compared to white fat, brown fat has a higher density of mitochondria, which contain iron and make it brown.  Brown fat takes calories from white fat and burns it to generate heat, which could be a new weight loss strategy.  Babies have more brown fat than adults, however.  So, I suppose it would be a great weight loss strategy for fat babies.  Just put them in cold water and they will look great in no time.

NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BABY IN COLD WATER

Or you could put the babies on the “baby food diet” as was previously discussed
