607...Pregnant? Depressed? Here Is A Pick Up

Seafood.

Dr. Jean Golding of Bristol University in Merry Olde reports in this month's edition of Epidemology [yes, I do read them all] that eating a diet high in omega 3 fatty acids, the kind found primarily in seafood, will alleviate feelings of depression in women that are in the family way.

The extensive study of almost 10,000 women, done in the early part of the last decade, proved that women who ate no seafood were 50 per cent more likely to be depressed in the last trimester of their pregnancy.

Glad to be of service.

497...Happy Holiday;MoreBadNews For King James

Not LeBron, the other one.

Specifically today is the 319th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, a bad day for King James VII and II [he was king, er, King, of England and Ireland as the 2 and Scotland as the 7] and a good day for Syracuse's own William of Orange, also known as William III.

The Blue and Orange, Protestants, beat the Roman Catholics and that was about it, eh?

The great victory is celebrated to this very day especially in in Northern Ireland, where some Protestants remember it as the great victory over Catholics that resulted in the sovereignty of Parliament and the Protestant monarchy.

It is also commemorated in other parts of the world including here in Ontario although not at the level it was previously to the end of World War II.

Still, any excuse to party is an excuse to party.

Give 'er.
