Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

More than two dozen witnesses will give testimony and be subject to cross-examination, with the majority expected to argue against teaching evolution.

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.

I meant a bad batch of patches. Which sounds like something from a Dr Seuss PMS anthology.

The whole thing is just ridiculous. Why should religion be taught in science? Sure, there are still unanswered questions with evolution, but no more so than cosmology and yet no one advocates teaching supernatural causes for cosmic expansion.
