I actually don’t have anything interesting to share with the world today, so I’ll keep this post short. I have been insanely tired today, and pretty much lived of sugar and anything with caffeine in an attempt to stay awake and manage to get some assignments done. So far I’ve just finished writing an article, “metabolic stress response to trauma”. I might be able to cheer you up with a funny picture of me from last night.

The police in Peru admitted embarrassed on Tuesday that the story about the human fat sellers was based on a legend . The crime investigator Eusebio Felix was put on leave as it was made public that the story was based on the legend about the killers Pishtacos that killed travelers and extracted their fat by hanging them above candles. The fixation on fat has a long tradition in that region of Peru, as fat (excess body fat) was a sign of prosperity. The police only found one victim, and this person is now linked to the cocaine trade. The bottled up fat is believed to be intended as a method to frighten the rivals.
