Fluorescent light messes with my eyes as well. I swear they're making me go blind.

The thing about MSG is that it's just an amino acid with a sodium attached. I'd be more than willing to be it's more because the people that get palpitations and headaches and such have a negative reaction with too much salt than an amino acid that is present in every single food that has protein in it and also one that the body requires as part of the metabolism.

EDIT: If you have some sort of negative reaction to glutin, that would probably do it, as well.

Just put aluminum foil on your head - works every time.

In other science news, the newest member of the periodic table has apparently been produced. The element presently known as ununtrium - which was the last hole in the periodic table under 118 - has now been officially identified through it's decay chain through 6 separate and distinct alpha emissions.

EDIT: "Last hole up to 118" may be overstating it a bit, but the other elements (up to 118) have been positively identified and reported in peer-reviewed journals - just with not enough firmness to allow for naming rights to be awarded, which is controlled by IUPAC. At least this is what I've been led to believe. :o

Probably won't matter much except to elemental purists.
