I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Apparently I value my very, very expensive Aeron chair more than my aunt's day of wedded bliss. But I was at her first wedding, at least! When I was five.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I found my local precinct! And called the detective bureau! And talked to a very nice man who told me to just come in with all my paperwork and whatnot. The policeman is my friend.

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

Hopefully he's cute too.

Fingers crossed. I guess I'll go up there one day next week.

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

Coooooooooooool:

A 16-year-old high school student has invented a new way of producing electricity by harnessing the brawny power of bacteria.

Kartik Madiraju, an 11th-grader from Montreal, was able to generate about half the voltage of a normal AA battery with a fifth of an ounce of naturally occurring magnetic bacteria. And the bacteria kept pumping current for 48 hours nonstop.

OK, I rarely get earwormed too badly. And when I do, it's usually something obscure. TOday is no different.

On the radio UH-oh, on the radio UH-oh

Yes, that's it. Over and over and over.

Oh man, that's the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Not sara's earworm.

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

Online auction site eBay rules that New Zealand not for sale

SYDNEY, Australia -- New Zealand is not for sale, despite somebody in neighboring Australia trying to offload the nation of 4 million to the highest online bidder.

With a starting offer of just one cent, brisk bidding for the prime chunk of South Pacific real estate quickly boosted the price to 3,000 Australian dollars (US$2,330) before eBay pulled the plug on the auction this week.

"Clearly New Zealand is not for sale," eBay Australia spokesman Daniel Feiler told the New Zealand Press Association, adding that 22 bids had been made before the company acted.

Who would be dumb enough to bid $2,330 for New Zealand?

Also, I bet the shipping costs would be a bitch....
