It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

When you put it this way I feel so kind and selfless, instead of slightly unhinged.

Hee!

All the flowering crap does make me more cheerful in the morning, I must admit.

Someone's cologne is making my eyes watery .

It appears I have a new problem pet here at work. I swear, I don't know how I collect these people, but they suddenly decide to talk to only me. Which of course means they get all cranky at me when I have to *gasp* make them wait for an answer until I hear back from my usual contacts. And they always have to be the scary important ones. Or the ones that think they are.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

One of the most beloved words among the physicists is "negligible".

This is why I could never be a physicist -- I'm really not comforted by the fact that the particles that make up my body probably won't cease to exist from one moment to the next. Dabbling is all the knowledge my brain can handle without rolling itself up into a fetal position and sobbing desperately in the corner.

I just wanted to see this sentence again.

I'm really not comforted by the fact that the particles that make up my body probably won't cease to exist from one moment to the next.

Well, I guess it's all about the "how probable" is that probably. I mean, when the chances are 1 to 10-to-the-power-of-17, or "once in a million billion years", then it's pretty safe. It's never just "negligible", it's always "negligible when compared to" something. But I think I get what you mean - for example, grasping how the solid bodies are actually mostly just, well, vacuum, no matter how solid they feel they are, is a strange thing to hold in one's mind.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I should probably put this in Bitches, but I'm behind there....

From Wired:

All-Around Moisturizer
It seems counterintuitive, but a Maryland dermatologist says a 58-year-old woman is not entirely off the mark for applying vaginal cream on her face. Vicki Mackarvic said on the Oprah talk show that she started using Premarin cream after a doctor suggested it would help fight dry skin. While the estrogen in the cream irritates the skin, dermatologist Dr. Terry Hoffman said studies indicate vaginal cream can improve skin thickness and reduce wrinkles. Still, Hoffman said there are more sensible ways to care for the skin, and cautioned against using Premarin around the eyes. "Personally, if something is meant for my 'hu-ha,' I don't think I'm going to put it on my eyes."
