Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

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

My most recent favourite miscommunication was verifying something with a co-worker right before the meeting started, and then having them contradict me when I assert it during the meeting. Look, I don't care about the fact being right or wrong, but you just called me out in front of my boss and other higher ups.

Grr.

There are ways to do that that don't leave me flapping in the wind. Really. That wasn't one of them. And I've been so pointed about never doing the same.

Your krav student? Nutcase. Annoying, too.

It occurs to me that while I've slammed on the breaks many a time, I don't think I've ever activated the ABS. Or if I have, it doesn't chatter. Anyway.

Also? I don't like driving in fog.

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

Firefly squid

Watasenia possesses numerous (~800), minute dermal light organs (photophores) on its ventral side. Other organs are scattered over the head, funnel, mantle, and arms, but none is found on its dorsal side. There are five prominent organs beneath the lower margin of each eye. They all emit a bluish light. A cluster of three tiny black-colored organs (<l mm diam) is located at the tip of each of the fourth pair of arms. They emit brilliant flashes of light which are clearly visible to the unaided eye even in a lighted room. Some of the flashes have a cadence resembling that of a terrestrial firefly flashing at night, and thus the squid is known in Japan as the "firefly squid" or "hotaru-ika."

x-posted to Firefly, just to confuse....

Gronk?

I'm 99% sure that if you don't know if you're gronked or not, you most certainly are.

Maybe more coffee help? Yes, coffee. Coffee good.

That depends if you're looking for a sign that you're gronked or not. If you are, than it's a good sign.

I am not gronked for the first time this week - before last night, I think I had a total of 6 hours sleep since Monday - but still fighting off an annoying little bug.

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

I'm surely gronked. Thank the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that I don't have to go to work on Monday. Every single day of this week has been a great struggle to get out of bed.

Howdy, folks.

Jogging your way to saggy breasts

Millions of women may be jogging their way to sagging breasts as they set off on New Year fitness regimes without suitable bras, research suggests.

Some 9.5 million British women could be irreversibly damaging their busts by exercising without a proper sports bra, the Portsmouth University team said.

They found breasts moved in a 3D figure of eight and that uncontrolled movement strained fragile tissues and ligaments.

The study suggested as a woman runs a mile, her breasts bounced 135 meters.

The report found each breast moved independently of the body by an average of 9cm for every step taken on the treadmill.

The study was funded by a sports bra manufacturer.
