Actually, when I took some powerful antibiotics recently, I was surprised to see that the instructions for taking them included suspending my multivitamin and mineral supplements for the ten days. Evidently that interferes with the body's absorption and processing of the drug.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

These are cool:

Hey! I met her! Her baby brother stomped my heart into little bits and pieces! Though this should have no bearing on any Buffista's interest in her work, as she herself did no stomping (and, really, I spent an awful lot of time and energy stuffing my heart under his feet again and again, and my heart could have easily escaped with only minor bruising if I hadn't been so stupid).

Coding and Sleeping

Crap, I seem to be running out of outrage again....

I think this is an administration strategy, especially after the warrantless wiretaps and the statment that we can still torture people while signing the anti-torture legislation. It makes you kinda forget about all the lies about Iraq.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Exercise is also very important in preventing osteoporosis.

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

$12,495 for an iPod Nano case. Yes, it is jewel-encrusted:

With 10.36 carats of diamonds set in 120 grams of white gold, it weighs more than your Nano. Late-night subway flaunting not recommended

Plus a few more Nano cases, the rest of which are less than $100.

It's squideriffic!

A squid that cares for its young:

But a team of ocean scientists exploring the inky depths of the Monterey Canyon off California has discovered that at least one squid species cares for its young with loving attention, the mother cradling the eggs in her arms for months, waving her tentacles to bathe the eggs in fresh seawater. The scientists suspect that other species are doting parents, too, and that misperceptions about squid behavior have arisen because the deep is so poorly explored.

"Our finding is unexpected because this behavior differs from the reproductive habits of all other known squid species," the scientists wrote in the Dec. 15 issue of Nature. "We expect it to be found in other squids."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Loving attention? Anthropomorphise much?

IT'S a funny farm where a naughty kitten has the upper hand over a horse with hoofs that could crush a curious cat's tail.

Garfield the 12-week-old cat has bonded with placid three-year-old Gemma, who lets her mate bat her around the ears.

Fearless Garfield isn't bothered by Gemma's heavy hoofs.

Owner Andrew Taylor, who lives on the property at Kialla near Shepparton with partner Rachel Martini, said the unlikely pair's friendship was based on comfort and security.

They snuggle in Gemma's stable after a day of playing.

"Gemma has taken the little kitten under her wing like a mother," Mr Taylor said.

"Garfield was only a kitten when I accidentally trod on her tail one day and she ran into Gemma's stable and we found her lying with Gemma."

Even the pigs and ducks can't escape Garfield's mischief.

"She jumps all over the pigs' backs, the ducks chase her, and she hangs off Gemma's head," Mr Taylor said.
