Richard's Poor Almanac Hangover Yours for New Year's Day 2001 by Richard Thompson In ancient times it was believed that a hangover was caused by spirits in the bottle who, when disturbed, would lodge in your skull.

Not so loud Lizards can slow their metabolisms to the point where circulation practically stops. Try it! Lie in a dark room. Now picture a tranquil scene, a meadow, say. All is hushed & serene.
