呵呵,感觉最后一段像是电影里的对白，Bosco貌似是个法语词，可以作为名字

据我所查，bosco是一中巧克力糖的名字，但是做为密码是出现在95年NBC的一个电视剧《Seinfield》,在第7季的第七集出现的。有兴趣可以看一下下面的剧情介绍：
George refuses to tell his ATM code to Susan. Elaine dates a friend of Jerry, the forgetful Fred (played by Fred Stoller). Appliance store owner Leapin' Larry wants Jerry to do spots for his store, but he is angered when he thinks Jerry is doing an impression of him when his foot falls asleep. Kramer gets an emergency band scanner and decides to help at the New York Fire Department A later serendipitous moment, he winds up driving the back end of a hook and ladder in the fire scene near the end of the episode.
Elaine's boss, Jacopo Peterman, invites her out to dinner after writing a piece on the Himalayan Walking Shoe. She pleads Jerry to join them, and Jerry later tricks George into coming to the restaurant. Meanwhile, Elaine runs into Fred Yerkes (who she had met at a previous party) on the street, but Fred doesn't remember her. Mesmerized by his lack of interest, Elaine goes on a date with Fred and leaves Jerry and George to eat with Peterman. At the restaurant, Jerry makes an excuse to leave, but George is stuck with Peterman. After dinner, Peterman is driving George home when Peterman receives a call that his mother (played by Ellen Albertini Dow) is "at death's door" at her apartment. They rush to her side, and George is forced to stay the night. George remains in her bedroom keeping her company while Peterman goes to the kitchen to make coffee. Believing Peterman's mother is unconscious, he reveals his ATM code ("Bosco") to her in a cathartic moment. Somehow, she seizes upon the word, which she repeats over and over; it becomes her dying word(s).
Later while George is talking to Jerry about his code still refusing to reveal it Kramer comes in stating that he can guess it. Through a series of assumptions or truths about George, Kramer is able to reveal that it is a chocolate syrup. As Kramer shouts out guesses (nearly guessing every syrup except Bosco) George becomes agitated and leaves the room fearing that his secret code may be revealed.
While Jerry was filming another commercial for Leeping Larry after clearing up the first incident Jerry's leg once again falls asleep. Jerry not wanting to upset Larry again, attempts to "wake up" his leg by stomping it repeatedly on the ground. The vibration from this spills a can of accelerant on exposed electrical wires causing a fire to break out. The fire continues to spread until George is with Peterman examining the fire when they realize there is a man caught inside a bank. The man has his arm stuck in the ATM machine and cannot get it out. George reluctantly is forced to give up his code to Peterman, who upon hearing that George's code and the his mother's dying words are the same, blames George for his mother's demise (in a subsequent J. Peterman catalogue story).

不知是否正确。

February 2, 2009 Museums Dogged by Wrong Animal Walks
If you have a dog, you know you gotta walk it. But do you know how it walks? Well, if you have no idea which foot Fido puts forward when, you’re in good company. Because according to a study published in the journal Current Biology, even places like natural history museums get it wrong half the time.

Studies published back in the late 1800s showed that all four-legged animals walk the same way. They start by moving forward their left hind leg, followed by the left front leg. Then they repeat the sequence on the right-hand side. Different animals differ in the timing of their steps.

The reason they walk that way is for stability. Lifting one leg at a time leaves three feet on the ground, forming a nice stable tripod to stand on. But not everyone seems to know that, even folks who should. Scientists looked at 300 depictions of animals walking—in museums, anatomy texts, and even children’s toys. And they found that nearly half the time these images get it wrong. For a toy, that kind of inattention to detail might mean that Rex has a tendency to roll over. But for museums to mess up like that? They just don’t have a leg to stand on.


什么是Rex has a tendency to roll over？？

说明rex是个玩具，是这样的吧，雷克斯，可能是一种玩具狗的名字

就是说对于（制作）一个玩具来说，对那种细节的粗心（就是狗或者四足动物不是每次抬一只脚，三只脚支撑着走路的）可能就就会让rax有翻倒的可能~

个人理解，感觉这里是一种很打趣的方式阐明这个新发现。

倒是后面两句：But for museums to mess up like that? They just don’t have a leg to stand on. 其诙谐的含义我还真是不懂啊。。。

mpromanusUID：2565872

114楼的解释正确。Rex是很常见的狗名字，这里就是普通的玩具狗的意思，就像我们的数学应用题喜欢说小明小红怎样怎样。整句话是说对四足动物走路方式的错误理解在玩具上的表现就是玩具狗经常走着走着翻倒。

后面一句话字面上是说玩具虽然容易摔倒至少还有四条腿，也就只是容易摔倒罢了，不是大问题，可是博物馆把这种知识搞错就是根本连腿都没有 - 这里用腿是比喻可靠的支柱，连博物馆这种应该是最可靠的科普场所都没有根据可靠的知识来源来制作展览因而造成这种错误的理解非常普遍，所以是大问题，才说这些博物馆是mess up。参考理解 三十而立 中的 而立 的概念。。

February 3, 2009 Water Conservation Unwitting Mosquito Ally
http://www.sciam.com/podcast/epi ... ing-mosqui-09-02-03

Mosquitoes have an unwitting new ally in the war on infectious diseases—conservationists. Turns out that, for mosquitoes carrying dengue-fever, environmentally conscious humans may be aiding the invasion. That’s the finding of a study published in the journal Functional Ecology.

In Australia, severe drought has led citizens to capture and store rainwater. While that's good for water conservation, the resulting array of water-storage tanks provides the perfect breeding ground for an army of mosquitoes.

The researchers say mosquitoes around the world are already moving into areas experiencing the warmer, wetter effects of climate change. Adding accessible pools of water to countless backyards will only help increase the insect's range.

For Australia's dengue mosquitoes, the researchers are also concerned about the development of drought-resistant eggs. Other insects have already evolved eggs that can withstand dry-spells. If the dengue mosquito follows suit, even the arid Outback could someday promote mosquito-borne illness. But there's a powerful way to interfere with the entire process: simply cover up water containers.

February 4, 2009  Largest Snake Rattles Paleontology
http://www.sciam.com/podcast/epi ... leontology-09-02-04
Indiana Jones (“I hate snakes—I hate ‘em!”) would have totally despised a snake that lived some 60 million years ago. Because researchers working in Colombia have found the fossil remains of a snake that would have been up to 45 feet long, weighing in at perhaps 2,500 pounds. That makes it the biggest snake ever to have slithered across the Earth. The announcement appears in the February 5th issue of the journal Nature. The creature has been dubbed Titanoboa.

The fossil snake bones were found in an open-pit coal mine, along with its prey, which included turtles and crocodiles. Now, a snake this big could only live where the average temperature was between 30 and 34 degrees Celsius. So we gain info also about the climate at the time. Study leader Jason Head from the Smithsonian said, “The discovery of Titanoboa challenges our understanding of past climates and environments, as well as the biological limitations on the evolution of giant snakes. This shows how much more information about the history of Earth there is to glean from a resource like the reptile fossil record.”

February 5, 2009 Psych Help and Hotline for Military Personnel
http://www.sciam.com/podcast/epi ... r-military-09-02-05
Nearly 20 percent of servicemen and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan report symptoms of post-traumatic stress or major depression. Another 19 percent experience possible traumatic brain injury. Some seven percent may have a combination of brain injury and depression or PTSD. That’s according to a RAND Corporation study.

To address these issues, in 2007 the Department of Defense created the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury. The center’s director is Brigadier General Loree Sutton, a board certified psychiatrist. The centers recently established a 24-hour toll-free hotline number, (866) 966-1020.

General Sutton calls the centers, “America’s open door to welcome and help every person dealing with psychological health issues and traumatic brain injury.” The hotline is also available to family members, healthcare professionals, teachers and anyone else dealing with a service member who may be experiencing psychological issues. Because the real shame is not seeking help. (866) 966-1020.
