Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Kathy, the funny part is I missed that part. My reaction was to Clinton tonight.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh a trip out there to see the 'scopes I think will have to happen. What age would that make sense at?

I'd say whenever the kid has interest. In general experience (ie, my dad's tour requests) there is a peak around 7-10 and another in the mid teens, if they are sciencey. I think the 7-10 is sort of the most-fun, rather than career, interest stage. It's then still all about cool tools and machinery, and less about peers and life crap. This may be another bias talking as I pretty much find that age most endearing after the whole baby-kitten-cuddle phase.

OK, this Frontline program? Is seriously making want to punch people. I did hit the tv once. Threw a brush at it another. Saving lives or your fucking paper thin imitation facimile of christian or whatever morals, you fucking fuckhead?!

Really. Really. Hate. People.

I am reluctant to wish ill on people, even when I think them wrong. But I'm going there.

OTOH, there are some incredible people who pushed back. Them, I'll kiss.

Hah. Metaphorically. Though some of these peoples chutzpah would at least have me hugging.

Now I'm currently loving the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and I hate MicroSoft products. But, goddamn, that money is doing good. I see it again and again. Not going to make me like Excel or Word's logic, but...

This is an excellent program. I highly recommend people get their hands on it. It will piss you off. It will also give you people to admire. It will give you uncomfortable bedfellows (Helms+ Bono, anyone?)

edit: and oh fuck, it ends on a little girl asking her doctor why she has the virus, the doctor checking with mom, and saying that when she's older, they'll explain. God.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

sara, you'll be glad to know that Patty Stonesifer, who actually runs the foundation, is freaking awesome. I was at a small lunch with her last year.

I know, that killed me.

Bono's a capital "B" Believer. The Rock Star cover just hides it well.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

she and 7 other people in the courthouse staff were also suing Tempurpedic.

What over?

libkitty, I'm sorry I couldn't check online earlier today. I would have volunteered to be a "lower 48" delivery address for you. But it looks like Woot finally sold out an hour or so ago.
