HERB DENENBERG PART ONE Q&As FOR WEEK OF OCTOBER 31, 2005.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF BEETLES? HAVE THERE BEEN MANY GREAT WOMEN NOVELISTS? HAS THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT BEEN RENEWED? IS THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION DYING? HOW BIG CAN KIDNEY STONES BE? AND OTHER QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
1.
Q. Why are there so many different kinds of beetles?
A. You can blame them on Darwin or God. Take your choice, or perhaps this will be settled in the lawsuit involving intelligent design and evolution. I wasn’t aware of the great number of beetles but in an article in Penn Arts & Sciences magazine, the author points out that there are 350,000 species of beetles (coleopteran) that have been described by entomologists since 1758. When J.B. Haldane, the great British population geneticists was asked what he might infer about the deity based on his lifetime of observation of the natural order, he applied that the creator seemed to have “an inordinate fondness for beetles.” I doubt if anyone sings about that in their Sunday hymns.
2.
Q. When a thyroid gland get out of whack, is it usually too active or too inactive?
A. Of the 12.2 million Americans that have thyroid disease, most have hypothyroidism, about 9.6 million. That means the underactive thyroid is by far the most common.
3. Have there been many great women writers of novels and other fiction?
A. Here’s one answer from Daniel S. Burt’s interesting volume, The Literary 100, A Ranking of the Most Influential Novelists, Playwrights, and Poets of All Time. Of the 100 most influential, only nine are women – Murasaki Shikibu, Jane Austen, George Eliot, Virginia Wolf, Emily Dickinson, Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte, Flannery O’Connor and Gertrude Stein. The first listed is the highest ranking women at #12. The top three, from #1 on down, are William Shakespeare, Dante Alighieri, and Homer. But that’s only one man’s opinion.
4.
Q. Has Congress renewed the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act that is going to expire on December 31, 2005?
A. No. It is still being hotly debated, with the only agreement being on a lack of agreement.
5.
Q. Is the Mid-Atlantic region, including eastern Pennsylvania, just a region that is going to continue to shrivel and dry up?
A. There’s too much going for this part of the U.S. in terms of location, resources, and know-how to do anything but grow. The latest edition of the magazine, Business 2.0, has a cover story on the “Hypergrowth of 10 ‘Megapolitans.’” One of the 10 “megapolitans” marked for hypergrowth is the Atlantic seaboard, running from Boston all the way down to Washington D.C. and, of course, including Philadelphia.
6.
Q. I loved your column on virtue being the key to happiness, health and success. Did you see what the Reader’s Digest had to say about a related matter, gratitude?
A. I checked the November 2005 issue and found the item, “Give Thanks, Get Healthy.” It notes, “Thanksgiving may be bad for your waistline, but giving thanks can be good for your health. Research has shown that people who write lists of things they’re grateful for spend more time exercising and sleep better than those who don’t.”
7.
Q. Can you believe the labels that claim food is “GMO-free?”
A. Here’s the take of the Whole Foods Market chain on genetically engineered foods: “Whole Foods Market believes labeling products [GMO-free] in our stores would be misleading to our customers.”
8.
Q. How big can kidney stones be?
A. They can be as large as a golf ball, according to the Harvard Medical School.
9.
Q. Is it dangerous to go into a hospital on weekends or during vacation periods?
A. Maybe dangerous is the wrong word, but you’re most likely to get the top-of-the-line staff during week days rather than weekends or vacations. Some say the most dangerous time to go to a hospital is July and August. That’s because new residents begin their work on July 1st. In addition at that time many of the best doctors are on vacation. Some say any time is dangerous in a hospital because you’re exposed to hospital infections and a wide variety of potential misadventures.
