Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Damn!! I forgot to watch the first episode of Dr. Who.

Because books.

Happy Birthday Stephanie! And you should definitely spend your birthday money on you -- a spa day sounds perfect.

Happy Birthday, Stephanie!!!

(That makes me feel like I'm talking to myself....)

Man, peoples! I just ate dinner and am full, but you're still making me want sushi!

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday Stephanie!

When my sister was pregnant, her doctor told her to give up sushi not only when pregnant, but also when she was nursing. Is that overkill?

They never told me to ban sushi, but the caffeine and booze rules held when nursing.

Ewww. I'm entering foods into FitDay, and one of the options in the list that comes up when you browse through the types of milk is "milk, human."

Very disturbing.

I really wish I was not flat broke, as I have been dying to try the things suggested in that "advanced sushi" article ita linked to way back when. I'd really love to give it a try some time, and be given the chef's best attentions.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Plea for web-crawling assistance: could someone search out for me a table of, say, average yearly temperature (or average temperature for e.g. July) over 20 or more years? The idea is that it would be a site I could tell hypothetical 9th graders to go and gather data from so that they could make a graph. They really are hypothetical, so I'm not too fussed about whether strictly speaking it's an accurate way to measure climate change or whether it's even measured right -- it's just that all I can find are graphs, and since that's what I want their endproduct to be, it oughtn't to be the beginproduct as well.

The lactation nurses also said a little coffee's fine, and that if you want a beer, have a beer, just drink it right after you've nursed so it doesn't mess with your flow.

The lactation nurses were what one might call a hoot.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

How about NOAA climate data tables? [link]

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

dcp, that's almost it, except it's giving one average figure (per month) over thirty years, rather than thirty yearly averages. Ideally, I'd like the students to be able to chart the temperature/wind speed/incidents of spontaneous combustion/immaculate conceptions over a period of years, and make some guesses as to trends in the data.
