A planned World Cup winning goal perhaps?

Very occasionally, I watch sports. Two days ago, I watched the FIFA World Cup final match between Spain and Argentina. The halftime show and the thirty minutes of overtime play were great!

Early in the game, the cameras showed some of the celebrities in the stadium crowd. At one point, the camera showed actor Will Ferrell then went directly to Pharrell Williams, which was a fun recognition of the similarity of their names.

As the game progressed, it became less amusing that the cameras had singled out for notice to the viewing audience the names "William" and "Ferrell".

The only goal made (and allowed to stand) was made by Spain's Ferran Torres with help from Nico Williams. Because of this goal, Spain won the World Cup.

Ferran. Williams.

If I were into gambling on sporting events, this coincidence would have instantly cured me of throwing my money away. With all I have learned about wireless neuromodulation advances, the name coincidence is too improbable not to raise suspicions. 

Especially when I just happened across the Official FIFA World Cup 26 Kids' Handbook this morning and saw that page 42 (a meme number connected to "revelation") had the name Ferran Torres encoded--literally, it's a decoding puzzle page--on it.

I'm no gambler. For those who are, what are the odds?!

Playing the weight loss "shell game"

My experiences with food journaling have provided evidence that there is a kind of weight loss "shell game" going on in the US food supply.

Per wikipedia:

The shell game (also known as thimblerig, three shells and a pea, the old army game) is a public gambling game that challenges players to follow the movement of a marker hidden under one of several covers (shells). In practice, the game is almost always run as a confidence trick that uses sleight of hand to transfer the marker between covers. In confidence trick slang, this swindle is referred to as a short-con because it is quick and easy to pull off.

In this case, the markers are molecules that contribute to weight loss/maintenance, which appear to be being put in and out of different foods, and even in or out of the same foods but in different packaging (especially seasonal treats) or with different dates on them.

Since I lack access to a powerful, truthful AI engine that will help me identify these molecules myself, I am left playing the weight loss "shell game" along with everyone else. (I was reluctantly amused to notice after one Thanksgiving that some of these molecules appeared to have been in the canned, name-brand cranberry sauce.)

Right now, I'm trying out mixtures of cocoa, taurine (plain), isoleucine (plain), and grape seed extract (plain, but sprayed and processed in ways that I can't possibly find out). Taurine especially seems promising.
