		<description><![CDATA[Horseradish, onions and caffeine all activate a group of chemical receptors that can trigger a pain signal. Turns out the same receptors exist in fruitflies, mussels, corals and mule deer. Why has this receptor survived a half-billion years? Because it protects against toxic chemicals - even if they taste good in small doses!]]></description>

How do they interact with other sources of data? In this culture of disclosure should we even worry about privacy?]]></description>

But women and children did much better on Titanic, which took 160 minutes to slide underwater, than on Lusitania, which went down in 18 minutes. Ditto for rich people. Why?]]></description>
