Leads 2/11

Brains have a love circuit
A woman receives a heart shaped valentine card from her finance, but should that card be shaped as a heart or a brain? A brain, proved Bianca Acevedo a neurologist of Washington, the emotion love is in the head not he heart. Love is spread through four main “circuits of love” in the brain, proved through studies done on unusually large rodents.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090211/ap_on_sc/sci_love_science

Perfectly Preserved
A 2,600 year old mummy was found in Saqqara Egypt, perfectly preserved. This mummy was discovered in a burial chamber 36 feet below the ground. There were 22 other mummies, though they were badly decomposed. This perfectly preserved mummy was wrapped in dark canvass and is shown to be the oldest mummy found that was preserved in such a condition.

Stealing to feed the Stupid
The reason for raising taxes has caused an uproar of anger for citizens of Los Angeles. Nadya Suleman, single unemployed mother of 6 recently had 8 octuplets after having embryos implanted into her womb. People do not believe this is their responsibility, she was already living off of social security and then she wastes that money on impregnating herself. This is considered “grotesque” and “irresponsible.”
