No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Cross psoted from my LJ, but I thought you folks would like to see the cat with two faces I met the other day.

Wayyyyy too early in the day for two-faced cats and fugly, lipstick-wearing "fish".

Yeah, but the cat's not ugly. Really, it's an absolutely beautiful animal. Just, you know, with two mouths and three eyes.

Not ugly, but very disturbing. It looks like it could be a model for the wax lion from WONDERFALLS.

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

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

Can someone talk me through why this is news? Is it because it's the first time scientists have looked into this? Or am I imagining it's something mundanely obvious but they're really talking about something else?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nusbaum coauthored a paper in the Journal of Memory and Language that reported on a group of experiments said to provide the first evidence of "analog acoustic expression" -- people unconsciously modulating their voices in ways that provide an additional channel of expression understood by others.

No, really?

Yeah, that does sound obvious.

Sounds like. 'Cuz nothing is true until Science says so....

It's our tone discussion... now with science!
