The Incans sacrificed children? I didn't know that.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Thanks, ita. That is really cool, bon bon.

Poking head after skipping lots (duh) to post my apologies that yesterday, ue to lack of computer time, I didn't get to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, it was Nicole's birthday. I hope she had a good day nonetheless, and since it's still yesterday in the board's time, I can wish her a wonderful year still without any sort of guilt.
Oh, and in case of crazy computer schedule again, Friday, the 30th, withh be Alibelle's birthday, so early wishes for her, as well (even though I hadn't posted with her in forever, I hope the wishes will find their way to her somehow - they have enough time, right?).
OK, have to run. Bye!

You should start divesting some of the non-performing states, sell them to countries that reckon they can run them more efficiently. You'll be left with a leaner, more capable America, ready to meet the challenges of the modern globe!
if we divest the country of Texas, does that mean that its residents are no longer eligible for the Presidency?

Pfft. Jeb's in Florida. And GWB has already used up his allotment.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If you go to cnn.com, you can watch a video entitled "Mama cat nurses babt squirell" (can't link to it directly).

I watched all but the first half hour of TAR, and I am not feeling the love this year.

It's been 10 years since the body was buried under the patio -- and Brookside has been cancelled for two -- but it's still the one thing that stands out about Brit soaps.
I was going to post a "hey - that happened one time!" but then I remembered that they just dug a body out of the basement of the Queen Vic.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Fun giant squid fact: they're from the branch of squid descent that has some seriously different biology going on, therefore their bodies are full of ammonia. Supposedly, they'd taste like calamari sauteed in Mr. Clean.
On reflection, I hope that sperm whales don't have much in the way of tastebuds.

Anyone catch Viggo on The Daily Show last night? Given past experience, I was expecting a big politcal discussion/diatribe, and instead we get Viggo pulling rubber (or foam or whatever) snakes/lizards/frogs out of his coffee mug ? Bwah! I'm still trying to figure out if they were alread in there, or if he snuck them into the mug himself. Jon looked suprised enough that it might not have been planned. Also, how cute is it that Stephen Colbert is a big old Tolkien geek?
