Nooooo! Not Paris Hilton!

Category: Carnivals
Posted on: March 31, 2008 9:33 PM, by PZ Myers

The latest edition of Encephalon, the carnival of neuroscience, is using Paris Hilton as a theme, I think because the contrast is so great. It still hurts to read it.

I did find Jennifer Ouellette's pocket biography of Ramon y Cajal an excellent corrective, at least — balance the photos of a 21st century airhead with the tale of a 19th century genius of neuroanatomy.

I like the photos.

Seems a step up in the visual area, though the matter of text may be more dicey.

Thank you in advance.

Inquiring minds want to know:

Is she an atheist?

Apparently not. Of her prison experience, she writes:

HILTON: It definitely -- it was a very traumatic experience, but I feel like God does make everything happen for a reason. And it gave me, you know, a time-out in life to really find out what's important and what I want to do, figuring out who I am. And I'm -- even though it was really hard, I took that time just to get to know myself.

Okay! That's enough Paris Hilton!
