They've been using that stuff for people with cartilage problems for ages. I know my dad's taken it for years for his knees.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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
Something occurred to me last night and while I realize this will likely re-open the pecAn/pecAhhhhn discussion I posit the following theory:
Regardless of ones general pronunciation proclivities regarding the nuts them selves, pies, danish, etc. the respective pronunciations of the ice cream and the cookie are "Butter Pecahhhhhn" and "PecAn Sandies".
Discuss.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'd guess no since the article refers to chitosan as the second most ubiquitous substance on earth
I was confused as to what they meant by "substance." It can't mean "element" or "compound," so I'm guessing they mean "organic material."

Organic material was my assumption. Carbon-based band-aids already exist.

That sounded snarkier than I intended it to. Sorry.

So which category would the gummi and chocolate bandaids I saw in the store yesterday fall under? Besides Ew.

Visigoths used gummi to heal battle wounds after the fall of the Roman empire.

Happy birthday Juliana! Happy belated birthdays to Jengod and Paul and Ouise!
Beth, those are called cut-in records. They started in the 50s with the most famous one being "the martians are attacking" and then all the breaking news reports being song snippets. The most famous ones were done by a duo, one of whom was name Goodman. I can't remember the other guy. They usually did one topical record a year, which is why they had Watergate themed ones in the early 70s. I've seen collections of their stuff, but it's tricky to find (maybe semi-bootleg? I doubt they got clearances for all those clips).

Here you go, Beth. From a music Q&A board:
*********
Question 186: (posted June 14, 2005)
In the early to mid 70’s I recall songs that had political questions or interview type questions and they were answered by playing sound bites from songs that made the target of the interview sound silly – any idea who put these out? – It could have been a local radio station thing but I do know it was funny at the time and had the sort of sound like the Streak song by Ray Stevens, serious voice over questions and then a strange lyrical answer.
UPDATE June 19, 2005: Joe S e-mailed ...
These kind of novelty 45s began in the 1950s with Flying Saucer by Buchanan and Goodman. Serious interviews intercut with pop songs of the day as "answers" to the questions. Dickie Goodman did this in the 60s and early 70s also with some political answer 45s. They were called "cut-in" records. There were copycats of this genre well into the 80s.
