Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, NBC tells me Sanda Day O'Connor is retiring.
Edit: She's 75 and in good health, they say. But something's up with her husband?
So do we think Renquist will go, too?

My dad met her a month or so ago. Says she was a very interesting person to talk to. Of course, he said the same thing about Antonin Scalia.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've read in a bunch of places: "See! The country of the Inquisition just legalised gay marriage!" Not wanting to dismiss the barbarity of the inquisition, I wanted to do a little reading to place things like duration and body count (I mean, "The country of the Holocaust just legalised gay marriage!" "The country of slavery just legalised gay marriage!") since my history studies didn't quite get that far.
So I started with wikipedia.org, and don't think I can continue, because the following sentence is making me laugh too hard:
Unexpectedly, at the end of the 15th century, under Ferdinand and Isabella of Castile, the Spanish inquisition became independent of Rome.

Well, I'd hope any of those people would be interesting, at the very least. Agree with them or not, at least theoretically these are folks with really important jobs that they got primarily on the basis of their ability to judge things and form an opinion. It's not even like elected officials who could be yahoos who can just fool The People.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yes, it isn't like "interesting" is that significant a compliment.

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- Thai fishermen caught a 293-kilogram (646-pound) catfish that may have been the world's largest freshwater fish, wildlife conservation groups said.
The Mekong giant catfish was netted by villagers in a remote part of northern Thailand, the World Wildlife Fund and the National Geographic Society said in a statement.
When wildlife officials caught wind of the catch they urged the villagers to release the adult male so that it could spawn, but it later died and was eaten, the groups said. They did not say when the massive fish was caught.
