I may have ingested hydrolyzed human hair.

The majority of L-Cysteine was once obtained industrially by hydrolysis of human hair, but in recent years 80% is produced from duck feathers.

I took cysteine supplements for a few months in the early 90's.

Monday morning, I had a dream about a strange vibration that I felt in a table. It felt like an earthquake, but there were no other detectable signs and the vibration lasted an unusually long time. I awoke with the phrase "artificial earthquake" in my mind, and I had the overwhelming feeling that it was a psychic dream.

I checked the news, but I didn't find anything about an earthquake or explosion. On Tuesday, I saw news about the earthquake in Mexico and briefly believed that I had predicted it until I reminded myself about confirmation bias. This was followed by reading about nhp's car crash, which I briefly thought might also be related to the dream.

Today, I heard about mysterious tremors and explosion sounds in Wisconsin. This began around the time that I had the dream. It's possible that my neighbor was listening to news about it and that got into my dream. It's also quite probable that my dream was just entirely random and unrelated to any of this. Since there is seismic activity somewhere on this planet every day, I am going to stare at this for a few minutes and purge the idea from my mind.

Yesterday was the 3 year anniversary of launching Blogstalk.

I misread the title of a spam message for a "blowout auction" sent from "info@hootere.info".

"What does a gun have that a woman doesn't?"

When I saw this question, I had no idea that this would be about feminism. My answer was that a gun could shoot its load. I'm glad that I did not inform the person who posted this question.

I got several calls from this number. I didn't answer because I did not recognize the number and no voicemail messages were left. I found several forum posts from people who have received similar calls from this number and nobody knew who was calling them. Calling back that number results in an error message indicating that the call cannot be completed. I finally answered the call and discovered that it's an automated call from a computer that informed me of scheduled repairs on my mother's home.

I'm wondering why nobody has posted an answer on any of those forums. Somebody who participated in those discussions must have answered one of those calls. I am also not posting an answer, but I haven't registered on any of those sites.
