Fat Talks to the Brain
The received wisdom for years has been that the only biofeedback from fat to brain and back was via chemicals, hormones. The body’s adipose tissue, a technical term for fat, produces hormones and these chemical messages move passively in the blood through the body and to the brain which then makes any adjustments to the way the body works accordingly. Now scientists at Scripps Research have discovered that the adipose tissue and the brain are actually connected by sensory neurons and messages are actively sent back and forth between the body’s fat and the brain. Yes, in effect your fat talks to your brain!

So, why on earth can't you divide by zero?
Once upon a time, if you asked Siri on your Apple phone, "What does zero divided by zero equal?", it would say. "If you have zero cookies and you want to give them to zero friends, how many can each one get? You see, this question doesn't make any sense, right? The sugar cookie monster will be sad because there are no cookies to eat, and you will be sad because you don't have a single friend."
