Weekend research

Pressing questions on a Saturday night:

What is linen made from?
The amazing flax plant, not cotton as I had originally thought. Flax is awesome. It makes clothing, flooring and a dietary supplement. Why aren’t we all talking about the wonders of flax?

What are the genetic determinants of eye color?
It’s no longer assumed to be fully genetic based and neither is it a dominant/recessive deal. Oh, how science has changed in the past 12 years, since my highschool genetics class.

Who is Malcolm Gladwell?
He’s the guy who wrote “The Tipping Point”, a book on my radar for future reading.
