The Nazis had some pretty wild engineering ideas, and some of them, like the jet engine, ended up being a vision of things to come. Yet others were just over-engineered, strange, and in some cases, downright creepy. This steampunkish Nazi belt buckle four-shooter is one of those things.

Researchers at Italy's university Gabriele d'Annunzio have shown in recent studies that the right and left ears are better suited for different tasks. As LiveScience reports, the right ear is better for processing information.
For example, you cite effects on discriminating phonemes, prosody, and emotional cues (I assume like intonation and volume). These are a far, far cry from the levels of processing needed to, as you say, attend to and process facts and details "in a group meeting where the manager is talking about information."

WHAT? You can get anywhere (except Georgetown) on it! Where the heck are you going that isn't Metro convenient?

I still don't understand why we would petition the White House about a legislative matter.
