Oh I see, that's something different. They were testing the vaporizer thing.

Mmmmm. I covered for one of my coworkers while she was on vacation in Canada, and she brought me back some maple syrup. I may have to change my dinner plans from a green salad with grilled chicken to french toast.

So basically the ethanol molecules are physically trapped in a starch cage. Alton Brown should do a show on this. Think of the models he could make.

Hey, is Gud around? I'm on my way back west starting tomorrow (with a stop by the waterpark) so could be through KC Friday evening or Saturday noonish. If it's convenient, I wouldn't mind saying hello to KC-istas.

Ack, bad timing for me. My daughter's birthday party is Saturday and we're booked up Friday.

Hey bon bon, I think that Play! might be my new favorite thing, but I'll let you know for sure later....

Wow!

I wanted to watch Anthony Bourdain's EXTREME travel/cuisine show on Travel Channel afterward, but we were pretty wiped out.

Nora, I've been trying to find that channel. I've got like almost every station you can get but I can't find it in the listings. Do you know what channel number it's at (or approximately)? Or do you have sattelite (I'm on Comcast)?

I haven't seen Tennant play Casanova, but he didn't ping me as hawt in "He Knew He Was Right" even slightly.

That's because that character was supposed to be geeky and flat-footed, not hawt. He is, above all, just a really, really good actor.

But I've no idea what his Doctor will be like.

I've no idea what his Doctor will be like.

That's the key, isn't it? I mean, they wrote CE's doctor as sexual, and CE did a fine job with it. And by fine, I certainly mean fine.

DT can be great and not sexy.

This was in the Washington Post this morning.

WASHINGTON -- President Bush said Monday he believes schools should discuss "intelligent design" alongside evolution when teaching students about the creation of life.

During a round-table interview with reporters from five Texas newspapers, Bush declined to go into detail on his personal views of the origin of life. But he said students should learn about both theories, Knight Ridder Newspapers reported.

"I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought," Bush said. "You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes."

The theory of intelligent design says life on earth is too complex to have developed through evolution, implying that a higher power must have had a hand in creation.

Here's my question, and I apologize if I'm oversimplifying...

Is this whole theory based on the thought that if it's too complex to figure out right now, we should just chalk it up to "god did it"?

Or is it, "god did it until we figure out something else."?

Is god always the unknown variable? If so, are we supposed to jus take "god" as the answer and move onto something else?

Anyone know anything about this theory?

Is god always the unknown variable?

"Bobby, who took the last piece of chocolate cake?"
"God did it."
