There is a strong tradition in Africa to make dresses and shirt out of custom fabric for different events. Say that these women are wearing “curtains” is totally insulting, and takes away from the message of the article.</p>http://www.adrianarcher.com/post/35577364http://www.adrianarcher.com/post/35577364Wed, 21 May 2008 20:21:52 +0300NIH Launches Undiagnosed Diseases Program<a href="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/05/nih-launches-un.html">NIH Launches Undiagnosed Diseases Program</a>: Isn’t this what we have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_House">House</a> for?http://www.adrianarcher.com/post/35516596http://www.adrianarcher.com/post/35516596Wed, 21 May 2008 08:51:21 +0300via Julia Allison<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/he1rYR_8T4s"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/he1rYR_8T4s" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/>via <a href="http://itsmejulia.com/post/35474420">Julia Allison</a>http://www.adrianarcher.com/post/35515531http://www.adrianarcher.com/post/35515531Wed, 21 May 2008 08:36:29 +0300Julia AllisonFacebook Gangsta“In the 1960s, regional carriers used sexy stews in hot...<img src="http://media.tumblr.com/pz8oxESU898anu2ivhG1qlQB_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><i>“In the 1960s, regional carriers used sexy stews in hot pants to lure passengers aboard.
