shrift, "do you want to pray with me" is jackhole code for "please punch me in the face or burn me with your cig." Next time you'll know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I'm getting better at telling when to take back a delegated task, instead of continuing to explain the person who was supposed to do it exactly how to get the right answer. In this case, the "when" is after you give them formulae, and they still come back with nonsense numbers.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Well. I was just outside having a smoke, and a lady sat down next to me and handed me a pamphlet titled, " So Who Is This Jesus, Anyway?"
Have you checked to see if there's a sign taped to your back? This happens far too often to you.

But, as in most infectious disorders, genetic variation determines how susceptible you are to infection. TB ran right through some families and left others untouched.
Plus, TB's communicable, and the family members were right there, communicating, as it were. The poorer you were, the more likely you were to share a bed with the sick person, too.

I feel like a total moron, but I can't figure out how to use calculus to compare the area of a parabola segment and its inscribed triangle without doing waaaay more multiplication than seems appropriate. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm seeing a hot Conversion Game, and Shrift as an upper level. If you find one you like, maybe you could offer to pray with him. He'll get 50 points and his initials in the Top 10 hall of fame.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful sentences in the English language:
Scientists have taught dolphins to combine both rhythm and vocalisations to produce music, resulting in an extremely high-pitched, short version of the Batman theme song.
By the end of the studies, the scientists could show an object, such as the Batman doll, which represented a certain rhythm-vocalisation combo to the dolphin, and it would create the correct sounds both vocally and using the switch.
