Researchers say they are being forced to carry out experiments with animals if they want their work to be published, after their studies were rejected because they did not include an animal test.

I find this movie review humorous – in the darkest way. Our only escape is not betting the farm on remaining young and socially significant. Invest in the future while you are young.

SOLVED: Leonard Cohen’s Secret Chord from ‘Hallelujah’
(Scroll down for lyrics.)
Reader’s Comment (wherein lies so much wisdom)…
“From your lips she drew the Hallelujah” surely means that David ceased praising God because his soul was burdened with sin and hiding. She took his open heart away from God. Take another look at the words. They clearly speak of her taking, weakening David. Note that the “she cut your hair” is symbolic of Samson and Delilah, taking Samson’s strength, breaking his devotion to God.
“Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah”
To cast this as simply a celebration of romantic feelings is to miss the whole story.
[Editor: I believe there is more to this than suggested. Sordid as their union was, it was through this lineage of David & Bathsheba (and the betrayal of Uriah) that Yeshua HaMashiach was born. Ponder this as you read. I have always believed that Leonard Cohen was a poet of immeasurable depth. I do miss him.]
LYRICS FOLLOW (which, btw, Cohen often modified at will whenever he performed it.)
Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light in every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
