Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

The seat of my pants ripped at work today.(OK, it was just below my seat, but still). I guess that area of fabric was more worn than I realized, because it torn when I went to pick up some tubes from the floor. Luckily a)I was sitting down most of the day and b) the tear was not in an area my co-workers would be looking at, I hope.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Italian salad dressing is a great, all-purpose marinade. I will marinate just about anything in it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Pathetically, I really only cook with chicken breasts and ground beef.

Oh, and sausage.

Jilli, from what you've said of your dad, I suspect yours & mine in the same room would be a frightening thing.

He doesn't respond nicely to any sign of intellectual laziness. I suspect he would be more tolerant in a situation like Kat's (cause, kids) but with college students, he has no patience. I suspect the question he hates most is "Is this going to be on the test?" Especially since he makes a point on his syllabus that anything mentioned is fair game. And yet still, they ask.

Consortium of scientists simulates 'cube of creation'

Scientists have recreated a vast segment of the universe inside a computer and written a brief history of time, black holes and galaxy formation.

The Millennium Simulation - the biggest exercise of its kind - required 25 million megabytes of memory. But it tracked the 14bn-year history of creation in months and now offers a tool to explore mysterious events in galaxies far away and long ago.

The simulated universe represents a cube of creation with sides that measure 2bn light years. It is home to 20m galaxies, large and small. It has been designed to answer questions about the past, but it offers the tantalising opportunity to fast-forward in time to the slow death of the galaxies, billions of years from now.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Where does she think she is? Australia?

Hey! Australia was one of the first places in the world to give women the right to vote.

Gay Penguin Dads kids' book. Aww!

Hee. I'm tempted.

I did not inquire as to whether my Bob named John had a secondary sex penis, or if it was named wee bob.

At that point I think he'd have to call it Bobbitt.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Australia was one of the first places in the world to give women the right to vote.

Did Australia give it or did the women pry it from Australia's manly hands?

Does Australia have mandatory voting? I think that's what I thought the point there was.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jesse is of my mind.
