Health (care) or lack thereof

Clear contrast between Canada (with single-payer health care system) and the US

On a personal level, while I don't have trouble while healthy remembering some of the yuckiness of having a cold, I never remember the degree of brain fog until I am again trying to fight through it. Also, this time I have some mild face and ear achiness on the right side, and I wonder if it's going to turn out to be a problem (sinuses? ear infection?).

subjective creature attractiveness

I was browsing through the EDGE top 100 list of threatened mammals
http://www.edgeofexistence.org/species/top_100.asp
and was indignant to see the remark: "The highly distinctive aye-aye is one of the most bizarre looking animals on the planet." The aye-aye is #16.
Are they looking at the same animal? I find aye-ayes adorable looking, but definitely not bizarre. It may be because I have a photo of one on our fridge and see it every day , but I don't think it's by any means the oddest looking mammal on the list, and all other categories of animals feature some that are bizarre as well.

This aye-aye (Angelique) lives at the Primate Center at Duke university. I shamelessly nabbed the photo from their web site. It's the one on the fridge.
