Angiogenesis I've actually heard of, I think, and the intracerebral xenograft thingie I think I can more or less stumble through, but that NASCAR glyval-whatsit -- buh?
However, Pinky and the Brain for your bro.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Happy birthday Mr. Scola!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy birthday, Tom! I hope this is a great year for you. Though I know you sometimes feel your process of change is very slow, I want to say that I have nothing but admiration for your courage and fortitude and that I have definitely seen much personal progress in the time I've known you--and you were a darn cool guy to begin with! Have a fantastic day!

I'm looking forward to the thunderstorms, but tuesday night's forecast has me making faces. [link]
JZ, thanks! I know the translation (ie, the cocktail party version) is that he's working with a drug that inhibits the type of blood vessels found in a type of cancer tumor, which luckily form readily in mouse brains. But about all I see familiar to that in his abstract is the part about mice brain tumors and killing mice.

'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"
Technically speaking, my company gives us off for Patriot's Day not so much for the Boston Marathon, but because since the race goes around 2/3s of our main building, they can't figure out how to get us all in and out of it what with the race barriers* and all.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Grrr!
My boss at the theatre sent out an email basically blaming me for a lot of communication errors that were not so much errors of me not communicating, but that no one responded to my communications
I think I shot back a response too soon.
Damn snarky anger response

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
Did you hit "reply all" Sophia?
Because that sounds like it deserves a "reply all".

A problem that I'd reported last week has been passed around and it seems they've identified the culprit and...it's been assigned to my officemate.
Way to make me look bright and proactive (I didn't have the tools to poke around the problem so no way I should've known it was a sysadmin issue not something else. But still!)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did folks see this? [link] A USAF C-5 transport crashed on landing. The C-5 is (I think) slightly larger than a 747. The giant plane broke into three pieces, but there was no fire.
All 17 passengers survived, with some injuries. The picture is just... damn.
