You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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

I like this relationship. It is working out for me.

We could fight crime!

(If crime can be fought by napping.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Right! We could fight crime, later, after our naps. If it were crime that was easily cowed and could be dissuaded from its evil ways by snarkitude and convinced that its life could be better if only it took more naps.

On second thought, there are people who still don't know that.

On third thought are there a lot of people who don't know this who listen to science that contradicts their prejudice?

My computer just told me:

The maximum aggregate operation cannot take a bit data type as an argument.

So I was all, "Fine. I'll just cast my bits as integers."

I hope my computer didn't take that the wrong way....

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

I'd like to see the sexual satisfaction numbers by gender.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

If the ring finger is longest, it indicates a high testosterone level.

I think if this were so, then men's hands (and women's, to a lesser extent) would change shape all the time! Your testosterone levels go up and down over the course of your life (possibly your day, or week, or month), but your fingers do not get longer or shorter after a certain point in life.

Or else there would be much more fashion influence in men's gloves, since they would have to buy new ones alla time.

I wonder if that's supposed to work for women too. My ring finger is the longer one.

With extra padding for the ring finger. Sort of like the late-medieval fashion of wearing codpieces.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I'd like to see all of the numbers, because there's that thing about correlation and causation again. I'm assuming it's a crappy article, not a crappy survey.
