Three unrelated things. Or not?

I was ill yesterday and without going into the details it was a digestive disorder sort of thing. It floored me for the day but I’m feeling a lot better today.

I came across an article on conjoined twin girls, Brittanny and Abigail Hensel, in our local free newspaper and that led me to a video on Youtube. It’s an amazing story and I’m surprised I didn’t find out about it until now. Here’s the video. There is also an article devoted to them on Wikipedia.

Finally, I received an info by email this morning. Matthieu Ricard, the Dalai Lama’s personal translator for French is giving a public talk in Lausanne on the 9th of April. His subject is “Interdependence and Universal Responsibility”. Matthieu Ricard is a Buddhist Monk and before becoming a monk he obtained a PhD in Cellular Genetics in 1972.

I really want to go and listen.
