And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
From the Department of Duhhhhhhhhhhh, Scientists recommend you not use your cell phone outside during a thunderstorm.
Esprit and other doctors at the hospital added in a letter to the British Medical Journal that usually when someone is struck by lightning, the high resistance of the skin conducts the flash over the body in what is known as a flashover.
But if a metal object, such as a phone, is in contact with the skin it disrupts the flashover and increases the odds of internal injuries and death.
You know, just in case people were thinking it was a good idea to be outside during a lightning storm holding a metal antennae against your head.

'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"
It's probably not a good idea to have a lot of body piercings with metal in them, either. In fact, it's probably a much worse idea.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In re the FreeStyle show - I read the article, with several pictures, in the Post. The woman had to ask someone from the crew to help her move the furniture in some way that she liked it. She was quite unhappy with the designer's version - much too cramped.
And several years ago - also in the Post - there was an article about some of the "best" interior designs and they showed a "library" ... with not a single book in sight. All the shelves had glass vases on them. There was quite a fuss - DC is a very book-y town.

Scientists should mind their own business and let the moronscell phone users do whatever they want.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy birthday, Tep! I hope you have a splendid day and a splendid year to go with it!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Americans mistakenly worried the United Nations is plotting to take away their guns on July 4 -- U.S. Independence Day -- are flooding the world body with angry letters and postcards, the chairman of a U.N. conference on the illegal small arms trade said on Wednesday.
"I myself have received over 100,000 letters from the U.S. public, criticizing me personally, saying, 'You are having this conference on the 4th of July, you are not going to get our guns on that day,"' said Prasad Kariyawasam, Sri Lanka's U.N. ambassador.
"That is a total misconception as far as we are concerned," Kariyawasam told reporters ahead of the two-week meeting opening on Monday.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Silly people. That's not going to happen until after the AntiChrist takes over the UN.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So, what are people doing this weekend?
For me, (pretending to do) some cleaning tonight, baseball game with Juliana and others from elsewhere tomorrow, Sunday major grocery shopping and actually cleaning, plus trying to get my cats to be able to be in the same room together without attaking each other, attacking me, or peeing places they shouldn't.
