All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've seen those in the MCA gift shop. They're adorable.

Checking the tracking page for a package I find this:

Shipment Date: Jan 31, 2006 Estimated Arrival: Jan 10, 2006

Do I have to pay extra for that?

I am at work. This is very early.

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

Do I have to pay extra for that?

The extra shipping cost is cancelled out by the greater risk of wormhole-damage.

Cory Doctorow: On a forum for student doctors working in emergency rooms, a thread for "lessons learned from my patients," oscillating between the sobering to the uproarious:

One thing I've learned from 3 EM rotations is: Stay away from people named "Some Guy" or "This One Dude", because they for whatever reason, just punch someone in the face or hit them with a crowbar and run off. If I see them on the street, I cross the street to get away from them...

Never, ever leave flashlights, shampoo bottles, beer bottles or any long, circular object on the floor because someday you will fall on it and it will somehow, work its way up your rectum.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

zombie slave-roaches.

That is indeed deeply cool. And disgusting. But deeply cool. And it's not doing a thing to change my fear and loathing of all things wasply either.
