Table saw, I believe.

Ah, thanks.

And... ew.

Speaking of L&O, I watched SVU for the first time in a long time last night. It bugged me that they were so slow in figuring out the obvious. I mean, maybe not the genesis of the thing, but, come on. I don't think I've seen it quite that laboriously, "Well, maybe it's this. No. Then it must be this. No. Huh, well then it must be..." But I don't usually watch it, so I don't really guess I'm entitled to expectations.

The phrasing here [from a sports column on Salon] made me laugh:

Instead, Manning spent all day dumping off screens and checkdown passes, which the Patriots' speedy linebackers gobbled up like things that get gobbled up by speedy linebackers.

Not something I'm accustomed to seeing outside of, well, here.

LA Zoo now has a baby pangolin. Which I'd never heard of until just now. Cool looking critter, and cool story of how it got here.

DX, what exactly does a saws-all do?

It's an oversized version of a jig saw/sabre saw, with a long blade, also called a reciprocating saw. It's great for demolition and remodeling work, like for cutting window-sized holes in walls, and other rough cutting.

All of my favorite tools are kitchen gadgets.

Can you kill anyone with a zester?

It might be kind of messy.

Can you kill anyone with a zester?

If you got them to stay still long enough, I don't see why not.

The most equivalent kitchen utensil to a sawzall is an electric carving knife.

Is it possible to be too zestfull to live?

Somervillains, did any of you watch the news. What the frilly heck is going on with the terrorist threat, here? I didn't want to put the TV on, because I won't have my kids living in a cloud of fear. I put the radio on, but the phone rang, Scott came in and went out again, and I was cleaning up, and only managed to catch about every third word, and some of those were uttered by H*wie Carr.
