And how. I'm still mourning my darling Ben Stone (Michael Moriarty), who appears to have entirely flipped his lid.

Oh, and while we're on Google:

One of our faculty members has been an outspoken opponent to military recruiters in high schools. This eventually led to a wire-service picture of her angrily confronting a ROTC officer that was picked up by papers around the country.

This incited the conservative bloggers, who did some Google digging and discovered she was using her work contact info for her advocacy group, down to work phone and work e-mail. Major ethical no-no. Stuff happened after this discovery that I'm not at liberty to discuss.

Lesson: Google the creator, Google the destroyer.

I'm still mourning my darling Ben Stone (Michael Moriarty), who appears to have entirely flipped his lid.

What's he done now?

I just googled Michael Moriarty, and now I wished I hadn't.

Kalshane, do you get collision insurance coverage? It's probably not worth it if your car is worth, say, less than $3,000.

By Saturday afternoon, many residents were leaving. But as the hurricane approached early on Sunday, Mr. Brown said he grew so frustrated with the failure of local authorities to make the evacuation mandatory that he asked Mr. Bush for help.

"Would you please call the mayor and tell him to ask people to evacuate?" Mr. Brown said he asked Mr. Bush in a phone call.

Uhm, that's just not true. It's a lie. City busses were evacuating Sunday morning, so it's not as if they were waiting on the mandatory evac before getting people out who otherwise wouldn't have been able to.

OK, here's a phrase you don't want to hear anywhere outside of a horror moivie:

Plague-infected lab mice missing in New Jersey

NEWARK, N.J. - Three mice infected with the bacteria responsible for bubonic plague apparently disappeared from a laboratory about two weeks ago, and authorities launched a search though health experts said there was scant public risk.

On Wednesday, Clark was pinch-hitting for the Giants in the ninth inning of his first big-league game.

Oh, that is so sweet. Boston just had our 4th OF go down with a bad Achilles', so Adam Hyzdu, a AAA lifer, is getting that call today. Probably already has. I can see him dancing on the T on his way in to Fenway.

(I don't know what his offseason day job is, but with four kids, he surely has one.)

My brother has all sorts of horrifying lab stories. Of all of them, the accidental immortal mold ones amuse me the most.

Also, the lack of signage in the labs. Some of the work done there makes people so touchy (and the crazies, crazier) that they don't actually put signs up indicating that what it is a lab for, and sometimes, not even an indication that it is a lab, for fear of sabotage.

Was the mold sentient?
