Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

clothing for chickens

Several farmers have already had chicken suits with the name of their farm ordered and many advertisers have enquired about the possibility of having sponsored suits promoting everything from KFC to chicken soup.

The chicken suits come in various sizes, and had their first presentation in the Austrian pavilion of the World exhibition in Nagoya, Japan, where 20 chickens paraded a catwalk with Mozart music playing in the background.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

That was an utterly beautiful piece of schmoop, Jon.

Many, many happy returns of the perfect day for you and FAQ G/W...

Pass me a tissue, over there.

Sounds very sweet, Jon. Thank God you made that pun about the token to her!

Thank God you made that pun about the token to her!

I know! Although she told me a couple of days ago that she only said that in an effort to dissuade me from getting her any sort of a gift. In that respect, she failed miserably. Ha!

Huh, so Macs are going to switch to Intel processors.

That should take care of the performance gap. I wonder how long it will take for someone to figure out how to run OS X on non-Apple computers once the x86 compatible version is available.

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

Dishwasher Salmon with a Piquant Dill Sauce:

Place fish packets on the top rack.

Add dirty dishes and lemon-scented soap. This optional step is not recommended for novices. However, as long as the salmon is tightly sealed in the aluminum foil, it will not absorb any soapy taste or smell.

Set the dishwasher to the "normal" cycle. Modern dishwashers have "economy" and "cool dry" settings, which are undesirable because they conserve heat. However, on the other end of the spectrum, the "pots and pans" setting tends to overcook the fish.

Run salmon through the entire wash-and-dry cycle—approximately 50 minutes for most models. I have poached salmon in almost every make and model, and although the temperatures and duration of the cycles vary with each machine, a little more or less "washing" will not affect it greatly because salmon is extremely forgiving.
