I've tried to think of a good reason for the I Am African things...but wow, what the hell? "I know you don't care about the continent, but if Gwyneth Paltrow pretended she came from there, you would!"
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, I love Phantom Limb. LOVE.
He's really grown on me this season. I loved the rapport he and Brock had when they had to work together.
And is it just me, or is this season so far even better than last?
Also, the season 1 DVDs show Brock holding what looks like a Samurai sword. That is just so wrong. Brock's only weapon should be his Bowie knife, plus whatever objects he finds lying around or weapons he can take from his enemies. Or he can take his enemies and use them as weapons agains more enemies (like the dream-thing he had, where he simultaneously fought off cowboys riding dinosaurs and frogmen riding motorcycles with polar bears in the sidecars).

I think I would love Brotherhood, Gus. Has a lot of my buttons in it. Not that interested in being a compass, though. Am however very fricking excited about the Wire special that will be on next week. There may have been audible squeeing, which I confess is not very West Baltimore of me. Interesting about the spices.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'll go even further than Gwyneth. Doesn't work with David Bowie, either.
Unless he's done a lot more work to support Africa (ok, a concept so broad as to have very little meaning) than I'm aware of. Which is perfectly possible, since I don't really know what Bowie has done lately.

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

Iman.
Less flippily, I think it egregiously doesn't work with Gwyneth, while still not working with, oh, anyone that's not African. Shiloh Jolie Pitt might have a swing at it. But only a swing.
We Are The World makes sense. I don't get I Am African.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"I know you don't care about the continent, but if Gwyneth Paltrow pretended she came from there, you would!"
Basically. Although I just read that article about how Africa is so hot, so now.
Yay cuteness!
I just had a long lunch with coworkers, but no cupcakes. Ah well.

I'll be over here eyerolling about the "hotness" of Africa.

"It's like...Africa hot." Just a minor Biloxi Blues moment.

Erika, Frank, -t, and other HBOviators: there's a discussion in Bureaucracy of having another TV thread to avoid spillover.

Recently on Yahoo, some bozo posted something claiming that the bible was all correct, and that genetics would show that bats were actually birds. But that's not the real prize. The real prize of the discussion was in the ensuing thread.
A doubter posted the following question:
please explain 1 kings 7.23 and how a circle can have a circumference of 30 of a unit and a radiius of 10 of a unit and i will become a christian
23 And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. (1 Kings 7:23, NKJV)
And the answer is one of the all-time greats of moronic innumeracy:
Very easy. You are talking about the value of Pi. That is actually 3 not 3.14....... The digits after the decimal forms a geometric series and it will converge to the value zero. So, 3.14.....=3.00=3. Nobody still calculated the precise value of Pi. In future they will and apply advenced Mathematics to prove the value of Pi=3.
