		<description><![CDATA[The principles from Lorenz&#8217;s and Gould&#8217;s work have been applied to everything from vehicle design to this assessment of how cute NASA&#8217;s Mars rover Spirit is,&#8230;to pretzels.

I stumbled upon these today in the gardens of the Huntington (Library, Art Collection, Botanical Gardens) Estate in San Marino.    According to this rose dealer, the [...]]]></description>

In Greek mythology, the punishment meted out by Zeus to Atlas for his siding with the Titans against the Olympians was to carry the heavens on his shoulders for all time.
