Today I ate at a Brazillian churrascaria, and the sirloin was just amazing.

Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I don't think this is the jaw or bite so much as just stressing and clenching the jaw. The clench is just a symptom that then leads to worsening. I try to put my tongue inbetween my teeth so I don't shut them but then I forget. And clench.
Cass, I totally have this problem, and I got a bite guard that is designed to prevent you from clenching your jaw and it works well. My bite is only slightly off, but the clenching can actually alter your bite. My dentist was skeptical that it would help my headaches (it only apparently helps in a relatively low percentage of tension headaches), but it does. When I feel a headache coming on from jaw tension, I'll put my bite plate in and lie down for an hour or so, and it wards them off or alleviates a lot of the pain.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Really? That would be great. Thanks, Sue. Must go find dentist now. I'll get a rec today.

I have a bite plate to. I've had it for 10 years and I've almost chewed through it. It's saving my teeth from being ground down to nothing.

I think I caught the headache that was going around among the West Coasters last night.

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 weird:
A cranky koala achieved what an angry croc couldn't - it beat off thieves.
The bizarre incident began when Rockhampton police in Queensland received a tip-off that someone had a crocodile in their possession.
"The police came to the zoo, checked out our exhibit and we were down a female freshwater crocodile,'' said Tom Wyatt at Rockhampton City Council.
The 1.2 metre crocodile - known simply as "the girl freshie" - was dragged by thieves over a 2.4 metre fence in the middle of the night.
"Can you imagine these people struggling over a 2.4 metre security fence with a writhing wild reptile?" he said.
"It's not a baby you are holding in your arms here. We are talking about 40 kilograms and 1.2 metres of absolute fury."
"They are not man-eaters [like salt water crocodiles]. But they can still give you a nasty bite."
The thieves originally planned to take one of the zoo's koalas and only changed tack after it proved too vicious, 21-year-old zookeeper Wil Kemp told smh.com.au.
He had been told by police that four people were involved in the wildlife heist, which allegedly involved stealing a koala and swapping it for drugs.
"The original plan was to steal a koala - that's what they were going to use to swap [for] the drugs,'' Mr Kemp said.
"[But] apparently [the koala] scratched the shit out of them.''
"The blokes have quite a lot of scratches and lacerations caused by the koala.''
The thieves then decided to take a crocodile instead.
"I don't know what makes someone go, 'Oh we tried to steal a koala and that didn't work so lets go and steal a croc.' "
"The people who did it must have been quite stupid. It's the last thing I wound have thought a member of the general public would try to steal for drugs."
eta:
He thinks it must have been taken on Monday morning when another drama occurred at the zoo.
"One of the wombats got bitten by a snake. No one can officially remember seeing [the female] crocodile on Monday."

Girl pees on iPod nano, thinking it's a pregnancy test
After a night of partying a group of people decided to continue drinking at their house. A girl who believed that she was pregnant (she had vomited in the morning) entered the toilet and discovered a white strip which she thought to be a pregnancy test. She peed on it and came out to show it to the others to figure out the result. It turned out that it was in fact an iPod nano, not a pregnancy test. So what happened to the iPod? It stopped working. The owner tried to send it in for warranty repairs, only to be informed that "the warranty does not cover pee-related damage".

I could see that happening maybe with a Shuffle. NSM a Nano.
