Worth the Read

If you've never read Atul Gawande it may be due to the following: 1. Gawande is a medical doctor; 2. You don't particularly care for healthcare articles; or, 3.) You don't like the New Yorker. (Shame on you if it's 3.)

I don't particularly care if you read an Atul Gawande article again in your life provided you take the time to actually read this one. Please do it.

How I Survived the Various Apocalypses

My favorite is the 'Game Show Host Apocalypse':

Game Show Host Apocalypse

Got cornered by several of these fiends in an underground parking garage. Thought it was the end for me, but instinctively I recited a bio including my name, occupation, hobbies, and a tedious anecdote. I ran off to safety as they debated among themselves whether to eat my face or give me an all-expenses-paid trip to the Bahamas. 

Thank goodness for the National Guard. Many more here, courtesy of TMN.
