Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

The Max costume wouldn't be too hard to put together. A white fleece jammies and a little hat thingie with big ears.

Hmm. Plus the big fluffy tail.

My ex-boyfriend was planning on making a Max costume for this Halloween. He could totally do it, too. Sew the costume, I mean, not pull off the look.

Ha! The look is hard to pull off once you can raise your arms above your head.

Hey, msbelle, if your profile email works I want to try sending a picture to you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh. He made a bumblebee costume that he wore with tights and a crown a couple of years ago, so he's clearly willing to go for it.

Tell me you are dressing her up as Bettie Boop for Halloween? I want to find a Max the Wild Thing costume for Isaac. It's his favorite book right now. Plus he kinda looks like Maurice Sendak drew him.

I may dress her as a Clovis Minion. Evil bunny baby!

Clearly, we need Isaac pictures! How's he doing? How big is he?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

We Are The World makes sense. I don't get I Am African.

I skipped and skimmed, but isn't the idea here more like "Ich bin ein Berliner!" No one thought that Kennedy was claiming to be German (or a jelly doughnut). They just thought that he was expressing his concern and his kinship with the Berliners in their adversity (or in the adversity of their pastries).

YES!!! Oh, you have no idea how happy that would make Clovis. And me.

Clearly, we need Isaac pictures!

Yes, we do.

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

Freaky -- remote-controlled humans!

To investigate how the body's ability to sense head movements can contribute to balance control and guidance control--two critical aspects of bipedal locomotion--the researchers stimulated nerves that normally communicate signals from the so-called semicircular canals, structures that are part of the vestibular system that assists in orientation and balance. The researchers found that artificial stimulation of semiciruclar canal nerves afforded "remote control" that was accurate enough to keep subjects on pathways and avoiding obstacles while walking blindfolded through botanical gardens.

The article doesn't say how the nerves were stimulated. I'm assuming this isn't something that can be done wirelessly without someone's knowledge.
