*** When Is A Joke Too Soon? A Scientific Inquiry. ***
<http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/features/2014/the_humor_code/when_is_a_joke_too_soon_a_scientific_inquiry.html>
Peter McGraw and Joel Warner, Slate


> When is it too soon to joke about something—and when is it too late? Dilemmas like the one <i>The Onion</i> faced led Peter McGraw, the academic half of our duo, to wonder if it might be possible to quantify when, exactly, jokes about a touchy subject start working—and when they become so worn out they evoke yawns instead of laughs.




*** Book Review: Man Walks Away And Into Dawn Of Psychiatry In 19Th-century Europe ***
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/book-review-man-walks-away-and-into-dawn-of-psychiatry-in-19th-century-europe/2014/03/24/ba677d0e-ae1e-11e3-9627-c65021d6d572_story.html>
Marie Arana, Washington Post


> Now, imagine a man who travels day after day, relentlessly, not because he wants to or because he is paid to, but because he absolutely has to: because roads are his master, and he their slave. This is what psychiatrists call “dromomania,” ambulatory somnambulism — the traveling fugue. The patient who brought that condition to full clinical light, the most notorious dromomaniac in history, was Jean-Albert Dadas, a gas-fitter who deserted the French army in 1881 and criss-crossed Europe in a trance for five years, making his way on foot to Berlin, Prague, Moscow, even Constantinople.

> He had no memory of it.
