Robert McFarlane was born in Palestine and graduated from its high school. Lost in the jet stream, he graduated from Harvard College magna cum laude with highest honors in chemistry. After graduating from Harvard Medical School, he setup a cardiology practice in Palestine and began applying his chemistry background to the study of black mud, trying to figure out why it is black and sticky; so far he has concluded that it is, in fact, black and sticky when wet. |
