"Have you noticed how a lifelong devotion to physical exercise, to the exclusion of anything else, produces a certain type of mind? Just as neglect of it produces another?

New iPad Tastes About The Same, Nation's Toddlers Report
The German paper, Der Spiegel, has an (English language) article about the Samaritans. You may recall that the "woman at the well" in John 4 was a Samaritan, and she wanted to argue about the very thing featured in this article: whether it was on Mount Gerizim instead of Jerusalem that worship should take place. Jesus had his own answer, and Samaritans to this day have theirs. I found the journalism very unprofessional, as the writer sides with the Samaritans on the claim that the Bible "has handed down a distorted picture of history." Despite the journalist's irresponsible advocacy of the Samaritan claims, it's still interesting to read a popular-level report on modern-day Samaritans.
