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

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

Guess he probably didn't like Jon's Scientology bit at the Oscars either. Hee

I've heard that mentioned before but missed it. What was it?

Our wings are not tired.

Coming back from a break Stewart pretended to be in mid-sentence... "and that is why I think Scientology is right, not just for this city, but for the country." Apparently the joke fell flat, but I cracked up at home.

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

Speaking of 24, thank you NYT for spoiling me for 24 in your picture credit. Some might say, why add the spoiler to the caption? The world might never know.

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

24 is really on a killing spree, aren't they? Is this the last season, or was the cast just getting too expensive?

Art Crawl!!!

Jessica, personally, I blame David Fury for the spate of 24 deaths.

Don't watch 24, and yet I read the whitefont. sumi has a good point there.

"Hole in heart" condition linked to migraines:

A hole in the heart, known technically as a patent foramen ovale (PFO), is a minor defect in the wall that separates the two upper chambers of the heart, the atria.

In most cases it causes no health problems, but can, in a small minority of people, lead to a stroke.

It is also thought that failure completely to filter the blood of impurities in the normal way may result in migraines.

Several who had the heart problem fixed, also found their migraines got better.

The latest study screened 432 migraine with aura patients, and found 24% had a moderate or large PFO - six times greater than the number found in the general population.

Six months after surgery to repair the defect, patients reported a 37% reduction in migraine burden - calculated by multiplying the number of headaches by their length.
