I gave myself a minor head injury on Friday while getting into my car.
Sadly, this is not the first time. Nor even the second.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I got a paper cut opening a package of tea bags this morning.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My most common way of injuring myself? Running into things that are directly in front of me, while I'm walking around with my eyes open
Have you tried alcoholism?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Yes. No. I don't know.
You were dead at the time?
I was with Steve!

Thanks for the advice about the employment policies. I have a feeling it's seriously wrong ... but I'm not sure there's anything that I can do about it (except use up my leave time as I accrue it ... and I've gotten a start on THAT by scheduling almost a week in San Francisco in May).
The lobster ... it's kind of yeti-like. And kind of tick-like. And yet, weirdly cute.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Spiders on drugs!
NETS MADE BY SPIDERS FED ON DRUG-DOSED FLIES
Caffeine fucks with spiders more than LSD, mescaline or hash.

Not, not, not clicking on Tommyrot's link, just to be safe. While I am curious about the drug-induced webs, there might be pictures of ... other things. Things that spin the webs.
Hi natter folks! Don't mind me, I'm just skimming madly. Silly new job, with the deadlines and the being busy. I miss you people.

It's probably just shaking too much from the caffeine to aim its spinnerets properly.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jilli, there are no SP's in the pictures. Just the webs.

From an interesting Variety article on SF/comic geeks getting their own on TV, a description of an upcoming addition to Adult Swim:
FOR SHEER OBSCURITY, meanwhile, it's hard to beat the flights of fancy on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim," the latest being "Minoriteam," an assemblage of superheroes consisting of ethnic stereotypes. Premiering March 19 (at midnight, so as to potentially offend only insomniacs and the TiVo-conversant), our intrepid heroes include Jewcano -- combining "the powers of the Jewish faith with the destructive force of a volcano" -- and El Jefe, wielding a "super-charged leafblower" against such villains as the Standardized Test and Racist Frankenstein.
Both tasteless and riotous, it's mind-boggling to imagine anyone having the chutzpah (with apologies to Jewcano) merely to pitch this show, even for an audience of stoned young guys. In another sign "Minoriteam" isn't intended for everyone, the character design is an acknowledged homage to Jack Kirby, the illustrator who with Stan LeeStan Lee co-created such seminal Marvel titles as Fantastic Four, X-Men and the Hulk.
