We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Punishingly Intricate

Here is the blog of somebody who is cooking everything in the Silver Palette Cookbook.

I so want somebody to do this with the Joy of Cooking.

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

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

The splitting of Africa. I want to know two main things: a) what is the line, and b) when will the sea first seep in and not go back.

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

This is scary and sad - a drug trial goes horribly wrong: [link]

Two men remain critically ill and four others are in a serious condition after suffering a violent reaction while taking part in a clinical drugs trial.

All are still in intensive care in Northwick Park Hospital, north-west London, after falling ill on Monday.

Myfanwy Marshall told BBC News her boyfriend's body was badly swollen and she had been told he could die.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Um, without looking, I'm guessing the line will go through the Great Rift Valley?

When I worked for the School Department, we used to get all the sales conference swag when we went to them, so I acquired a really nice jacket and some nice shirts, but since my little work unit was subsumed into CIT, it's just the occasional T-shirt... and they stopped letting us wear jeans, too.

Long gone are the days when I worked at Lotus, and one of the project managers had the bright idea of code-naming one of the big 123 releases as 'Godiva' which led to some very chocolicious swag indeed.

hip deep in pie

How many work pens do you have at home?

Mmmm, too many to count. But that is also accidental.

also Bookstore gift certificates? Turkey basters? That's "accidental swag" but swag none the less.

The turkey baster was dirty, I certainly didn't take that home.

The map they show doesn't go as far south as Kenya, which has a fair bit of Rift Valley in it. But that's just the bit that's sinking first.

The map is kinda vague in labelling and context.

Oh, this is great. The ACLU did a very fun little X-Files cartoon about the NSA spying scandal. [link]

It's even got all the film-noir lighting going.

Oh my on the ACLU cartoon -- gotta love the guy with the shotgun.
