I can't wait till there's a Sci-Fi channel movie about giant killer Don Sphynxes.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Next up, at 11:00, my performance review.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Strega, will you write me a note for work? I just don't wanna go.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hee.
It would probably involve scientists trying to genetically engineer the perfect pet, or a crazy scientist trying to genetically engineer a Don Sphynx/human hybrid.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Dang, this is the morning of slacker ennui, isn't it? Or are most b.org mornings like this and I'm just too busy to read it?
I have two sleeping children, a load of laundry in the washer, and a cup of coffee at my desk. Despite the stack of grading next to it, I'm counting this morning as a "win."

this photograph is the result of digitally averaging every Playboy centerfold foldout for the 10 years beginning Jan. 1988 through Dec. 1997. The shroud-like image is yielded by a simple, custom process: point-by-point mathematical averaging. No special "morphing" is used.
Work-safe (this page, anyway). Sorta' looks like the shroud of Turin. [link]
eta: What's interesting is that you can make out a head and hair, which means that Playboy centerfolds tend to have the model's head in the same place in each centerfold photo.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

As Arthur Dent once said: "It must be a Thursday. I never could get the hang of thursdays."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Arizona authorities this week charged suspected members of a criminal ring thought responsible for 10 per cent of all fake money in the state after some members sent a printer, jammed with counterfeit bills, out for repair.

You're already at a computer. You're upright and everything! The rest is easy. I couldn't get out of bed for two hours after I woke up. I finally convinced myself to come in by deciding that I could leave early on Friday. So you can do that, too.
