I think this is interesting:
Tom Cruise's beliefs in Scientology are based on misinformation, according to US showbiz magazine Entertainment Weekly - after editors checked facts from a recent interview with the movie star. Just weeks after accusing Brooke Shields of being "misinformed" after she championed anti-depressants for helping her deal with post-partum depression, Cruise made a couple of sweeping statements to Entertainment Weekly reporter Benjamin Svetkey. The writer chose to check Cruise's comments and found out he wasn't accurate. Supporting Scientology claims that psychiatry is "a Nazi science", Cruise stated, "Jung (Carl Jung, the father of modern psychiatry) was an editor for the Nazi papers during World War Two," which the magazine's researchers discovered is untrue, according to the New York Center For Jungian Studies. The movie star continued, "Look at the experimentation the Nazis did with electric shock and drugging. Look at the drug methadone. That was originally called Adolophine. It was named after Adolf Hitler." The magazine also questions Cruise on this point, explaining, "According to the Dictionary Of Drugs And Medications... this is an urban legend."
Not the bit where Tom's on crack -- old news. But the bit where EW is actually fact checking a Scientology story, and I wonder if they're going to publish the results? Didn't Scientology used have an effective lock on entertainment media? Like a well-managed hand of steel?
What happened? What's changing?

Ever since that episode of

things have been different.

I won't say how many people I know from the just first entry
alone...
I have an 8am meeting. I didn't schedule it at 8, but the guy I've been chasing to meet with rescheduled it for then. I'm not convinced he'll show. Grr.
OK, this is the question that popped into my brain on my way to work:
Are the land animals that people eat typically herbivores? Or are there any carnivores that get eaten in western society?
Ducks eat little grubs and bugs and such, so they're carnivores, right? I can't think of any land animals... OK, crocodile and snake, I suppose.
OK, any land mammal carnivores?
I have an 8am meeting.
I have a meeting from 11:30-1pm. I look upon it with great horror and dread.
Good morning, all. Despite my living nowhere near the exciting explosions and power outage of Central Sq., I came home to no power as well. It went out at 7:45, and I listened to the game on walkman with candles on the kitchen table, and went to bed early.
I felt so badly when we got your message! Poor you!
OK - this photo: funny or mean? [link]
Are they providing food, shrift? I have a co-worker that loved 11-2 meetings, despite management having a 1 hour guideline for meeting time. Across lunch! No food! Are these people aliens?
In some cultures people eat dogs, and IIRC bears have been et up in the past (or are they omnivores?), but other than that I'm coming up blank.
