Does anyone know where the saying 'it's always in the last place you look' was first said by? Because it seems to me to be an aphorism. OF COURSE it is in the last place you look, for why would you look any other place for it once you have found it? It is funny because whatever you are looking for always seems to be in that place that you look last (after you have looked everywhere else). On a little reflection, one can see that this thing is only in the 'last place you looked' and 'after you have looked everywhere else' because you do not need to look anywhere else for it; it is OBVIOUS that it is not 'after you have looked everywhere else' because there are surely other places you could have looked (no matter how unlikely it is that that thing is there). Ergo, this study seems to be a waste of time!

And of course, I found this study in the last place I expected too.
Thanks Alex for the great articles.
