The Naked Mole Rat will never have a decent acid trip…
The naked mole rats acid sensors work fine but they have evolved to ignore the high acidic environments in which they live below ground where the carbon dioxide level would make a human pass out in as little as 10 minuets. In the mole rat the same positively charged hydrogen ions that lend substances acidity are the same responsible for relaying messages to the brain about the presence of acid in the nervous system. In the Mole rat, acid acts as a local anesthetic. Researches traced the missing protein message to sodium channels in pain nerves. This is really neat because when the researches “engineered human cells with the naked mole rat version of sodium channels the human cells reacted like the mole rat cells.” Geoffrey Woods, a clinical geneticist at the University of Cambridge in England said this discovery could help researches create a drug that kills pain associated in inflammation without making patients groggy.
As someone who suffers pain from inflammation at such a young age, this research is good news!

Caffeine is, in my mind, a drug. It is addictive, effects our brain function and if eliminated, people suffer withdrawals. Obviously, I don’t think its Heroin, but you get the point.
Scientists have been studying the effects of caffeine on rodents brain to better understand its stimulating effects with the possibility of alleviating certain symptoms of brain disorders. Coauthor of the study Serena Dudek, from the National Institute of Environmental Heath Sciences in Research Triangle Park, N.C. found that caffeine effected the rodents hippocampus. In humans, it is the small structure of the brain buried deep behind our ears and is responsible for learning and memory, specifically spatial memory. Electrical activity in this area showed an increase in stimulation as near by parts of the brain did not.
It is to early to tell how the research applies to humans but hopefully it will help us better understand effects of caffeine both short term and long term. Also with the possibility of utilizing this stimulating crystalline xanthine alkaloid with patients with memory or learning disorders.

So, 11.11.11 just past and it was often a topic of conversation. The conclusion I came down to is that not that many people in my peer group, myself included, really understood the power of this day. I asked around, read some forums and heres what I figured out:
First 11.11.11 at 11:11:11 is the perfect same-numbered Palindrome. that is an event that can only happen on one day every 100 years. Last time the date would have appeared was November 11, 1911.
11 in Numerology is a powerful and significant number, so the date 11.11.11 is one of the most “powerful shifts in human awareness that we will experience in our lifetime.” It is the dawning of the age of Aquarius and we now live in a time where we are experience our collective consciences. “We are experience great challenges, but they are necessary for us to come into awareness of ourselves and our creative potential.” We need new wisdom as everything that we have learned from our parents and their parents is changing. We are transitioning from the masculine to the feminine. It is a time for humans to act as one, this is the age of Light. The truth can only come from deepening our contact with our intuitive wisdom and unconditional love. Be pure in your intentions.
