I was outside with two students today and we got to talking about Spring Fever. According to them, Spring Fever means you get sleepy and lazy in springtime. That I'd heard before.

But one guy went on to say that the cures for spring fever are some kind of medicine that you 'attach' to your forehead and a 'can of fresh air' that you inhale when get sleepy. We ran out of time to get more details, but one did say something about this can of air having more oxygen than normal air.

Does anyone know what they were talking about?

I've never heard of this, but I just got a shiver up my spine...

I believe that I will see, in my life time, bottle oxygen, just like my grandparents never believed they'd see bottled water in theirs....

I teach up on a mountain. I can bring a non-kimchi scented tupperware container, catch some fresh air for you and then send it to you, if you'd like.

That's depressing if you like being depressed. Hell if you really like being deep as a lowdown crawling worm depressed it's a solid anti-ecstatic and joviality eradicator. Leaving behind not a trace of happiness^^.
