Hogwarts headache

Carnival weekend.

Surely theses days many children around the world will be dressing up Harry Potter.

And speaking of Harry Potter, did you know that there is a headache with his name?

Well, to be exact, is called Hogwarts Headache.

A generalized headache from spending many hours reading an unusually long volume such as one of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books. The pain resolves one to two days after the patient finishes the book. The term was coined by Dr. Howard J. Bennett in a Letter to the Editor of The New England Journal of Medicine on October 30, 2003. Dr. Bennett's letter was entitled "Hogwarts Headaches - Misery for Muggles." Hogwarts refers to Harry's alma mater -- Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Curious, indeed.

As a lover of reading, I refuse to believe that reading can generate a headache... at least no more than watch TV, work on the computer, etc., etc.

So, please, do not fail to enjoy reading... and of course, enjoy that weekend of madness and debauchery carnival, jajaja...

A present for you:

Wednesday [26/01/2010]: The flight of the queen.
The flight of the queen is an irresistible novel about the strength that comes from the dark side of desire. Among Camargo, the powerful head of the leading newspaper in Buenos Aires, and Reina Remis, a young journalist to half her age, comes a passion that leads to a dangerous game of obsessions. The erotic intrigue and suspense populate this story of domination, corruption and instruments of power, to draw a final unpredictable ultimate consequence of the ambition and the present and the past of the protagonist.

Thursday [27/01/2010]: Go for nothing, is nonsense.
What is clear is that if an old Spanish go to the doctor ten times while a Swedish only going two is that either because he was not served properly or whether because there was no reason for the visit by the patient ... we can only say that if there is going to go, but go for nothing is nonsense.
