Miss Cellania's Links

The Greatest Canadian. How Tommy Douglas fought for and won universal health care.

The Frequent Fliers Who Flew Too Much. Imagine how much an unlimited-use lifetime first-class airline pass would be worth -one in which you could take a companion of your choice on each flight.  (via Metafilter)

The History of Scurvy.

Why the Campaign to Stop America's Obesity Crisis Keeps Failing. Maybe it's not as simple as eating less and exercising more.

If Photoshop Could Solve Our Real-Life Problems, these would be the first things we'd tackle. Still no cure for Duckface.

Too bad that if you want to watch Kickboxer for the fights, you have to sit through Jean-Claude Van Damme acting, too. Until someone made a supercut of just the kicking!

This tattoo passes the realism test with flying colors -literally. However, the butterfly IQ test was a bust.

Did farting kill the dinosaurs? A new theory gives a deeper meaning to the term "silent but deadly."
