Cool/scary:
Mapping the genome of rice
OMG. My mom's jackass thesis advisor told her that instead of her project examining cognitive development of children of inner-city teenage mothers, she should do something
interesting
like...mapping the genome of rice.
Freak-y.
God, I hope Hubby doesn't see anything about this story:
ALBERTON, Mont. - Three firefighters hunkered underneath emergency shelters as a wildfire burned over them but all three emerged safely, fire officials said Thursday.

He had to do this himself more than once, and his worst nightmares are about hearing the people whose emergency shelters didn't work as designed. They call it "going baked potato", because you wrap yourself up in a protective blanket and pray that there aren't any tiny holes in the thing.
See this tagline? It's all the fault of you people talking about Into the Woods last night! Damn you all. Damnnnnnn youuuuuuuu!
Consider me damned.
Your tagline is one of the most perfectly Sondheimian lines in the musical. I adore it.

I bought a new computer yesterday! I can't really afford it, but I so need it if I am going to be back in school next month. Yesterday and today has been all about transfering data. I haven't been able to look at any of the pictures posted, because opening another link would totally make this old computer crash right now.
I've come up with four things I make for the Buffista cookbook. Now I just have to figure out how to actually write it down and perhaps measure.
Off to have dinner with my dad.
Somebody fill me in on the Buffista Cookbook idea? I've seen bits of references, but I must have skipped past the actual idea. We talking published/self published? Or are we talking collection of Buffista recipes online? Or what?
I'm not sure if this will come over correctly, but it's in Press at vw bug "Sunnydale Press" Aug 11, 2005 4:40:33 am PDT, Fay. It looks like we're talking a full-blown paper cookbook of buffistas' favorite recipes, which will sell for probably about $10 to recoup printing costs and perhaps benefit the board a bit.
eta: Wow. I actually did the link right. Neat.
Somebody fill me in on the Buffista Cookbook idea?
It's sort of in the To Serve Man vein. How best to braise an Aimee. Should you roll Betsy in cornmeal or flour before frying. Roasted DXM with apples and onions. Hec Relleno in Picante Sauce.
Go, libkitty! That's pretty much the scoop, Fay. If you have any questions, let me know.
Also, Kat, I'm gonna sleep on this whole copyright issue, but I'm thinking we should probably stay away from recipes from another cookbook, as your PTA did, just to be safe. I'll post in Press about it tomorrow, though.

I'm pretty sure the idea came up in Bitches.
