Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool!
Darkness Matters writes "According to New Scientist, a theory of modified gravity, which has no need of dark matter, has just explained why the Pioneer 10 probe is 400,000 miles off its expected course as it leaves the solar system. It sounds pretty convincing, although in dispensing with dark matter, they've had to utilize the theoretical particle, called a graviton, which appears from the vacuum of space wherever stars are densely packed, making gravity stronger."
Batman eats gravitons for breakfast....

I really, really, really don't get those "name a star/buy a star" outfits. $50+ for a random coordinate yanked from a catalog, a handful of star charts and usually a random plaque or something. If it is the thought that counts, you can accomplish all of the above for much cheaper with just as much officialness (which is to say, none.)

Oh, and had you guys heard about Moscow's colder than normal weather?
My brother about broke me telling me about the homeless dogs in Moscow (of which there are many). He and his girlfriend have taken to carrying around sausages in their pockets whenever they go out - they brought one dog into their building overnight, but the neighbors complained, and they took him to the metro station the next morning. He's afraid to go back to that station - not sure if he's more afraid he will see the dog or he won't.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is it wrong that I'm so pleased to see my Bat Fact ranked at #3?
Dang, I'm tired. I prefer not to go to work. I'm pretty sure it would be the greater good.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Best Hair. Or maybe I'm thinking of that from Arrested Development.

Always Anti-fascist!
Only as wrong as my disappointment that I have no funny Bat-material.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Here are some funny, if probably inappropriate, ones. [link] I especially like "Most Likely to Impose His or Her Will on Others."

Only as wrong as my disappointment that I have no funny Bat-material.
Or as wrong that it outranks both of mine.
But I can't really complain - I could probably come up with better, truthier batfacts if I actually read the comics....
