You know, it's really not that exciting. There's the spaceship, the playset, a deck, a patio, a huge pile of yard waste, a metal shed, and some grass and weeds battling it out.
Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

Oh man. Didn't we do this 80 freaking years ago?The Kansas Board of Education has scheduled six days of courtroom-style hearings to begin Thursday in Topeka. More than two dozen witnesses will give testimony and be subject to cross-examination, with the majority expected to argue against teaching evolution.
I saw this in local news, Gud. Don't know what purpose it's supposed to serve except to make the rest of the country go, "Yep, that's about what I expected from Kansas." The Scopes trial at least had a purpose, even though it was staged--it was a dry run to see how people would react to the idea of evolution being taught. This time around, there's no reason for it except maybe to further galvanize the Christian Right's support for the GOP.

You know those adhesive heat pads? They don't last even close to 8 hours.
The thing about playgrounds is even the simplest things make them fantastic. I mean, I used to have fun making obstacle courses out of red limestone chunks and 2x6s yanked from a demolition site. If something actually resembled something? Whoa cool.

I'm not collecting, the stuff is hard to get rid of.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Huh, I've used them for 8 hours. Maybe you got a bad batch?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe you got a bad batch?
Hit a bad patch, you're saying?
They last for 8 hours for me too, pretty much.

I've never come across ones that do last. This is just particularly irksome today. Maybe I'm just a super efficient heat sink.

I'm still unclear on why matters of science may be adjudicated by a jury. "Is this dude lying or is the other dude lying," okay, fine, everybody has a certain expertise in lying. But I don't think I'd hire 12 random people off the street to rewire my kitchen, much less to decide what is and is not a core competence of science learning.
