Linguist Nick Troop creates 'ideal' David Bowie song
Tuesday, August 25, 2009 at 9:50AM This is hysterical if you are a Davie Bowie fan, as I am. I couldn't resist posting this on my blog to share. Nick Troop creates the 'ideal' David Bowie song based on linguistical analysis of Bowie's word usage. Watch it if you DARE! Read more at New Scientist posting.
"Health psychologist Nick Troop of the University of Hertfordshire, UK, used a program called Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count to calculate how Bowie employs different categories of words in his songs. LIWC determines the rate of use of negative and positive words in a text, as well as counting references to things like sex, religion and food."

This kitten is currently at the Whistler Animals Galore (WAG) animal shelter hoping to be adopted. She has a neurological disorder that the veterinarian has not been able to identify. If anyone knows what it might be or knows who to ask, please pass this information along. Thanks.
