When Intense Belief Kills →
science:
The Atlantic discusses a deadly culture-bound syndrome. When you’re dreaming, your body becomes paralyzed, so that you don’t act out your dreams in sleep. There are two ways this mechanism could fail: either you could not be paralyzed in sleep, in which case you might sleepwalk or worse.

You are tired, (I think) Of the always puzzle of living and doing; And so am I.

Killer Lakes →
science:
On August 21, 1986, a deadly cloud rose from Lake Nyos in Cameroon, killing nearly everyone in its path. The day after, 1700 people were dead and the lake, normally blue, was red.
