It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

WHO has no knowledge of how these news reports originated but would like to stress that we have no opinion on the future existence of blondes.

Certainly blondes will make up a lower percentage of the population as ethinic mixing continues in the future. But they won't become extinct, because the genes will still be there. The phenotype will only show up when the person gets the (usually hidden) blonde genes from both parents, but that will continue to happen some of the time forever. There will always be a few blondes.

On Schizophrenia: The reason people get confused about the name is that it is a stupid name. The name does mean split mind, but the idea was that it reflected splitting of asssociations--that is, spliting of ideas that should be connected, splitting of ideas and feelings, of feelings and behavior. This is what the guy who made up the name (Bleuler) thought was the central problem in schizophrenia.

So it's natural that people like to use the word to mean 'of split or conflicted views' but it's still wrong.

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I have no Paczki.

All your Paczki are belong to me. I brought a dozen in to work today.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have no paczki.

I also need to decide what to have for lunch. I'm tired of all the food choices around here.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Too bad you aren't still here, Perky. FIVE new restaurants are open downstairs as of this morning. They had a huge "sample" day yesterday for 2 hours. Mmmmmmmm.......

There's a place in DC that makes oatmeal cookies that are rolled in salt before baking. Odd, but quite tasty, actually.

I hope it wasn't the Diane Rehm show, cuz that would be painful.

Oh my lord, I'm cringing just thinking about it.

What kind of food do they serve, Aims?

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

Salt has two functions. I like it in its first, which is to release flavour. In its second, as a flavour in its own right, it's gross.

I agree, except for salt and pepper squid.
