i heard this story on the way to work this morning http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127211884
it got me thinking that if i could get this guy's text analysis program, i wonder what kind of patterns it would show amongst tdubbers. after all, for many people on here, there is a wealth of text written over many years 6/1/2010 1:59:35 PM |

I'm worried as hell I'm gonna get it because 1) it runs on my dad's side of the family 2) I don't keep my brain active at all unless you count reactive timing video games 6/1/2010 2:06:07 PM |

Alzheimer plaques can begin to appear as early as age 30.

^^^ as a way to avoid alzheimer's? i don't think that's how it works. the story said agatha christie wrote with high density vocabulary for years and still ended up with alzheimer's. i don't think it's a prevention thing, just a way to "gauge your risk" for alzheimer's. how you change your life given that information is up to you
