It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

If you assume that the paid email may be spam. I think EFF is claiming that Yahoo and AOL will let more regular spam through, but EFF seems to be conflating who pays for the service-- I think they're assuming that the addressee will pay for this service in order to escape the weakened filters. But my take is that this is only a service for bulk emailers to buy. So I don't see that incentive-- actually, what I see is an incentive to strengthen their spam filters to encourage the bulk emailers to buy.

I misread the EFF article, they're claiming Yahoo and AOL will strengthen their spam filters to shakedown mailers. My mistake.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is a very cool idea.

Patented desk clocks with 12 slides, each with the name of two major cities; together, the 24 cities represent the 24 global time zones; to find the local hour in another time zone, simply roll the clock so that the city representing that time zone is on top.

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

Thanks, juliana. I'm hoping I'll be energetic enough to give myself some time to really think about what I want to do. I've never pursued what I really wanted to do in life and it's trapped me doing a whole lot I *don't* want to do. So I have to see how feasible it is to break out of the pattern without starving. But I'll be looking at anything 40kish and up.

Sophia, the big news is that I was laid off today.

Hope everyone else is having a better day. :)

Bathtub with built-in TV. It even has surround-sound...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

OMGWANTNOW! Also a slot for me to safely secure my iPod, or dock it. And one of those book holder. And the interweb so I never ever have to leave my bath.

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

I love this nugget from an article about BBM in Jamaica:

When THE STAR contacted the Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All-Sexuals and Gays, a representative said that "the Jamaican opening of the movie is a wonderful idea.

(emphasis mine)

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

Loved this from Cute Overlord: [link]

Mostly for the expression of the critter on the right....

It's an ick hobby.

Forensic scientists say gladiators fought with fair rules. I wonder what they'd say about krav instructors.
