Thirteen One Is Not A Number<\/h3>\n

A video rendering of an fMRI scan of my brain, taken during a linguistics study about the relationship between words and sounds, or between the sounds of words and the sounds of things that are not quite recognizable as words; a study about how the brain processes the sounds of words as words. Accompanied by a small child making statements about numbers, or the relationship between numbers and words that sound like numbers. And a song about crescendos and repetition, or the layering of looped guitar riffs.<\/p>\n

Here is the video<\/a> (it might not work in Firefox).<\/p>\n

Here are the words\/non-words<\/a> from the FMRI study.<\/p>\n

Penises<\/h3>\n

A Classic Introduction to Pornography<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I was twelve years old I traveled to Italy with my family for the first time. I brought a sketchbook and spent one productive hour drawing Michelangelo\u2019s David <\/em>in Florence.<\/em> I was very proud of the proportions that I had achieved and the delicacy of my pencil lines, but I could not bring myself to draw his penis. While I was visiting my parents this summer, I reopened the sketchbook from this trip and looked at the drawing once again. I decided that it was a precocious drawing by a twelve year old and I sympathized with my younger self for leaving out the penis. I also recalled walking through the papal palace on the same visit and my discovery that many of the naked male sculptures\u2019 appendages had fig leaves placed over them because a certain pope had found them indecorous during the Counter Reformation. Looking at the sketch, I vividly remembered not only the cool stone that I sat on while I drew, but also my uncomfortable sense that by drawing the penis I would somehow experience \u2013 and gain knowledge of \u2013 an as yet unrecognized form of titillation.<\/p>\n

A Fashionable Sketch<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

by way of a submission on penises, may I offer a doodle I discovered in one of my undergrad notebooks? It contains a v. lame cartoon about Cambridge homosexuals of about the time of Siegfried Sassoon. (I’m retroactively assigning a date based on the hazily-defined fashions of the women in my doodle: clearly I knew nothing about clothes.<\/p>\n
