The fact that she is a healthy, rich chick who wanted a child? Or that she opted to take up with someone else's husband in order to do it?

K Fed wasn't married, was he? he just had a babies' momma, as I recall.

Wow. I'm sure it would be Windows-only, but I would think that such diagnostic software would be available only to the trade, right?

Available for anyone, but yeah, Windows in this case.

No, they've defined open standards for car computer communication (which went into effect for '96 cars).

Or google OBD2, which is the name of the standard.

eta: or OBDII

A quick google turned up this: [link] Looks like it costs about $300 for the adapter and software. Not chump change, but probably cheaper than going to the mechanic when you don't really need to.

ETA: X-posty, naturally.

Just what IS it that makes her ideal and an inspiration? The fact that she is a healthy, rich chick who wanted a child? Or that she opted to take up with someone else's husband in order to do it?

Plus, according to too much spam that's crossed my mailbox, there are plenty of nude pictures of her out there already. Why would anyone want to look at more? Or, for those of us who've made a point of avoiding them, why would we want to start looking now?

Note to Verizon:

When I say that logging into your site doesn't show me any 2006 bills just 2005, that's what I mean. This is not my ISP's fault. This is not me not knowing where to look.

Note to lady in the next cube:

I supposed you'll be wearing that perfume all day, huh?

Yay!

Currently, 51% oppose legalizing gay marriage, down from a recent high of 63% just two years ago in February of 2004. The percent who favor allowing gay marriage has increased from a low of 29% in August of that year to 39% today.

...

The turnaround over the past two years is particularly distinct in the change among those who say they "strongly oppose" legalizing gay marriage. Just 28% take this position today, down from 42% in February of 2004, and the decline has been sharpest among seniors, Republicans and more moderate religious groups. Fully 58% of Americans age 65 and older strongly opposed gay marriage in 2004; only 33% are strongly opposed now. Two years ago 59% of Republicans strongly opposed gay marriage, while just 41% take this position today. And both white Catholics and non-evangelical Protestants are half as likely to strongly oppose gay marriage today as they were in 2004. Opposition remains strongest among white evangelical Protestants, 56% of whom strongly oppose legalizing gay marriage, down from 65% two years ago.

Department of random:

Scruffly guy in an ALCATRAZ PSYCHO WARD t-shirt, accompanied by an extremely weary-looking teenage girl in a hospital gown, comes wandering down our hallway. "Pardon me," he says, "but could you help us? We're trying to find the room with all the chocolate milk and stuff." I am completely unable to help them, except to point out that they're in the university admin. wing heading toward the research labs, and whatever they're looking for is probably back in the other direction, somewhere on the actual hospital wing.

But now I'm completely obsessed with the thought that somewhere on our floor there's a secret chocolate milk room.

If you find it, don't tell the scruffy teenagers, whatever you do! Keep the chocolate milk for yourself.

Didn't you know that all University Administation buildings have a secret chocolate milk room?
