Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Ooh, if you go to MSNBC's front page, you can see a picture of the comet getting its ass kicked.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I was about to point out that bats aren't rodents, but billytea is here so I just waited patiently.

Kristin, the bus would ROCK. I was worried that might be a hassel. Woo Hoo!

Any sites have replays of the webcast? I'm watching NASA TV, but the live cast sites were down.

The status is NOT quo.

Trudy, it just depends on when you'd be arriving. I probably won't be able to leave the house on Sunday since people will be arriving before noon. Abi might be able to pick you up, though--she will likely have a car. We can work it out. Email me your timeframe.

I think I'm going to attempt sleep. Night all!
