1. Does anyone know if low temperatures make one sleepier?

2. From [livejournal.com profile] ellen_kushner: The Testament of Solomon (74. And the second said: "I am called Barsafael, and I cause those who are subject to my hour to feel the pain of migraine. If only I hear the words, 'Gabriel, imprison Barsafael,' at once I retreat.")

3. Interviewing [livejournal.com profile] fastfwd this evening (trains permitting) at the BSFA open evening.

4. My tenants were going to move out. Now they've changed their minds. Yay!

5. Medieval people didn't look like us -- marked differences in skull shape and prominence of features. (Now can someone model what they're on about?)

is this a random example? 'cause if not, it would explain the chinlessness of the upper classes ...

Not entirely random - I picked the most prominent of the prominent features highlighted on the article's photo of the skull. It's just that it's opposite to what my first guess would have been - poor nutrition / health / etc would mean less nutrients like calcium (or cause calcium to be leeched), so bones like the jaw would be smaller, not bigger. Maybe the chinless upper classes drank too much gin and tea and not enough milk.
