This is cool - except for the restrictions:
Free limited access to the Oxford English Dictionary for Britons
Tom sez, "In conjunction with a six-part series showing on the BBC at the moment, the Oxford English Dictionary is allowing free access to the full dictionary with all the fascinating citations and etymologies." While this is deeply cool, there are two genuinely sucky caveats: one, this will vanish when the show finishes its first season and two, the OED is using whacky IP-address filtering to try to limit this to Britain. Cos, you know, people outside of Britain aren't interested in speaking English.

So, how would one get one's browsing appear to come from Britain?

That's how it looks! You drop the good Us, move around the Rs. You don't deserve the OED.
Except I do. Hmm.
something I would occasionally ponder when they were running articles about the old Level 4 lab
Heh. I work just up the road from the former EPA building. It's built in an early '80s prison style, with a few narrow little windows in ugly brick walls. Occasionally we speculate on just what got left behind the in the labs. Most of our scenarios resemble something out of Doom.
It's had a "For Rent" sign on it for about two years now.
Wasn't there a wacky movie comedy about a runaway First Lady and the Secret Service guy assigned to protect her? I can't help but wish

would inject some humor, aside from the occasional cougar and or amnesia attack....
Hell, even an amnesiac cougar would do, on second thought.
starring Nicholas Cage and Shirley MacLaine? Guarding Tess?
Things taking up space in my brain. I never even saw this.
Still on call. The good news is, I am getting some personnal things done. bills paid. Envelopes addressed (CDs for those of you who requested them) to mail out.

Guarding Tess.
I think Chloe's hysterical.

Sounds like GUARDING TESS, though less with the first lady running away and more with her being a former (possibly widowed) and making life hell on her security detail - Shirley MacClaine (I think) and Nicolas Cage (definitely).

It would be a pleasure when Jack shot the cougar. Not so much with the torture as making GG shut up is more the point.
