Enjoy a long weekend

No, it's not a holiday, but I decided to make it one. Visited a few friends, then the weather changed some of my plans, but here I am, relaxing and now surfing the internet for fun.

I was reading an article which discussed how if James Bond were real, he would be an alcoholic with impotence. I really enjoyed this article, because scientists had to read the Ian Fleming novels and count the quantity of alcohol that 007 drank. According to the books, he even had a DUI with injuries. (Good thing he wasn't looking for car insurance!)

So after that stunning study, there was this article about the real diseases named after literary characters. I had recognized a couple of them, so it was enlightening. I also did not know that the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation did a story in 2012 on favorite fictional nurses.

Finally, two articles stood out about characters. One interesting article was called "You are what you read." The last one is about fictional characters based on real people.

In light of the article "You are what you read", just remember there are some fictional characters you should not emulate.

That is all. TGIF and enjoy your weekend, wherever you are.
