Wanring for people using ionic air filters:

A study in the May issue of Consumer Reports describes some of these devices as not just ineffective but capable of exposing people to ozone -- a gas that, in large enough quantities, can damage the lungs, irritate the respiratory system and aggravate asthma, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

I pulled up that article over at the Chicago Tribune's website a few days ago, and on the bottom of the page was the standard box with links to a few sponsors in it. Sure enough, one of the sponsors was an air filter!!

shrift is an exorsist! cool.

Just watched VM. Good , damn Good. didn't expect the Logan kiss to be so hot. I love how confused they both are. I don't think Duncan did it- but I don't think he remembers either.

Oh, my G-d, Clutch Cargo is out on DVD!! For those benighted souls who have no clue who Clutch was, the reviewer sums up my television childhood very succinctly:

Anyone who grew up in Chicago during the '60s and '70s remembers the triumvirate of television goodness upon which all of our daily pre-school lives revolved. Ray Raynor offered up skits, crappy craft projects, and more Road Runner and Coyote cartoons than our sugar-frosted brain-cells could fathom. And if you were lucky enough to go home for lunch (some of us did attend schools right in our own neighborhood—what a concept), you could partake of a little Bozo's Circus, what with its several years in advance waiting list for tickets and its wealth of tiny tot treasures just waiting to be won in the Grand Prize Game. But perhaps no other show tapped into the surreal nature of local kid-vid better than Garfield Goose and Friends. Kind of a misshapen Kukla Fran and Ollie, Frazier Thomas held court (in full faux military regalia) with a gander who thought he was king of the United States (makes sense) and his semi-silent friend Rombert Rabbit. In between all the puppet pantomime, young minds were folded and fudged up by such strange animated far as The Funny Company or the live action Jurassic lark Journey to the Beginning of Time.

But none left the lasting cerebral stain that Clutch Cargo did.

There's a hilarious Clutch Cargo parody amongst the DVD extras for The Incredibles.

Clutch Cargo is out on DVD!!

I'm pretty sure that's a sign of the Apocalypse.

eta that, or it was Lidsville.

Shoulda left that thing playing, for another 2-3 minutes, after tying your boss down to a chair and duct-taping his mouth shut.

The man shouldn't go to lunch and leave his laptop on his desk without password protection, is all I'm saying.

Not just Zombies. Oh, no. Not just Zombies on the web. Uh uh. Philosophical Zombies on the web, compete with scholarly articles: [link]

I smell spirit babies, or possibly just branze.

Philosophical Zombies

Oh, I was thinking something else.

"I think, therefore BRAINS!!!!"

One of my co-workers just made his way into my office, sighed, and sat down. He explained that he didn't have anything to say, it had just been weeks since he talked to me. Then he sat in my office and nattered, playing with my office toys.

Can I apply to become a misanthropist?
