Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Welcome Elllie! You fared better in the name game than Penn Jillette's new Daughter, Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette. [link]

I do kind of like Moxie...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

There ought to be a law...

Our wings are not tired.

Hee. I've heard worse. At least it made me laugh.

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

CRIMEFIGHTER???? I'd sue.

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

At least it's only the middle name. (Though "Moxie Jillette" is pretty bad on its own. It makes her sound like a razor blade.)

I do have an aunt whose first name is Gilette. And her maiden name was easily abbreviated to Mac ... well, she got off lucky, considering.

So, Ebert and Whasisname have nothing but good things to say about Batman Begins. Can't wait. Also gave high praise to Michelle Tractenberg's new movie.

Congratulations to Stephanie and Welcome to Ellie!

I am NOT a Hayden Christensen fan. But this picture of him is definitely GAH worthy.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Those of us who don't stop by on Saturdays say --

Belated Happy Birthday, Dana!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Not quite as fun as PandaCam:

The University of Wisconsin has a webcam (and live streaming video) trained on a flower. But not just any flower -- a titan arum, or corpse flower, the stinkiest flower on earth (and the largest). It's expected to flower this week.

And since these plants flower only rarely (not even annually), this is a big enough deal to have a webcam on it, apparently.

This page has a link to the webcam, for anyone interested in up-to-the-minute corpse flower action: [link]

What's really interesting on that page is the chart showing how much the plant has grown since the bud appeared in April -- anywhere from 2 to 6 inches per DAY. Wild.
