Perl, Preening and Pendantry

For those single and thinking that maybe winning a Nobel will help your chance to get laid James Watson shows that it doesn't help a whole lot in his memoir Genes, Girls and Gamow:) Rest easy.

I thought reading an account of a famous scientists struggle to be a social entity in addition to his scientific self would be interesting but it lacks an intimacy you'd expect from a guy who's telling you about his horny salad days. Reading it won't get you laid but it will give you some solace that even a guy like Watson had a hard time getting a date. :)
