Lucy! I'm Home!

According to our anatomy instructor, they've found that with elderly folks who've been dancers most of their adult lives, that just playing a song to which they once performed over and over and over again will actually *cause* their motor neurons to begin firing in the *exact* pattern of movements the dance once entailed, causing their muscles to begin contracting in rhythm to their old routines...

This is weird and beautiful and worthy of being written into a poem.

Also according to our anatomy instructor: Desi Arnaz is apparently Mexican and preparing to celebrate Cinco De Mayo.

Um, yeah.
