Heliograph<p>this eastbound <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/jetlag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jetlag</span></a> is so much stronger and harder to overcome than the westwards trip 😴🛌 waking up at 8am here it is still midnight in my head 🙃 but the transition from warm to cold helps, these wind chills tire you out no matter what 🌬️💤</p>

Watched a video about the shamefully ridiculous US military plan to create a "gay bomb" which would supposedly have immediately turned enemy combatants gay and sexually irresistible to one another, thus apparently rendering them ineffective in warfare. Not sure the berk who proposed this idea had any education regarding ancient Greece, but still…

I'd let the existence of this research slide off one side of my brain years ago until the video popped up in my subscriptions, but because it was awarded a 2007 Ig Nobel Prize its reappearance brought up this considerably more entertaining winner from the same year:

"AVIATION PRIZE: Patricia V. Agostino, Santiago A. Plano and Diego A. Golombek of Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, Argentina, for their discovery that Viagra aids jetlag recovery in hamsters."

Full information for both wins can be found on the Ig Nobel website: improbable.com/ig/ig-pastwinne

@carusb I’m not sure I can do such long haul travel for much longer. At least not in one go. It breaking it up means many extra days on the road too. First world problems though… Also, didn’t sleep a wink last night… #jetlag

After many hours of airports and flying, I've arrived in Portugal and I’m at one of my fav coffee places for a perfect JETLAG BREAKFAST...

So let's learn how to say it in Hebrew (that is what I wrote on the photo phonetically using my PSP and in Hebrew, in case you wondered):

The good news is that in Israel, we use the word Jetlag as is, pronouncing it jet leg with a full /e/ sound in both cases;

The breakfast part in Hebrew is the less good news here. All meals throughout the day in Hebrew are on the long side. Breakfast is /a-roo-'khat 'bo-ker/;

And the /shel/ in between? That is a super important one that is a topic in itself, which is why we master it inside my course - Practically Speaking Hebrew 🇮🇱👄

If you want the details about my course, comment the word SPEAK ✍️

And yes, this jetlag breakfast was as good as it looks 👌😃 just what I needed...
