Oh, I have a PR question: Has Uli heard all the criticism about how she only makes the one thing? Because I could not believe that even last night -- when everyone else was making a conscious effort to break out of their ruts -- that she said, "Oh, I'm making a hippy Miami dress...."
Zoe: So you two were kissin'? Book: Well. Isn't that... special?

She must be aware on some level because she seemed to be responding directly to the earlier challenge criticism about her dress "only" being good for Miami, LA, the south of France... (Which, come on, for the jetsetters challenge? Where else do they go? Besides the Hamptons, which Michael had covered.) So she's hearing it but...not so much with processing.

I totally love the Hodgeman. Though I think I would love his book more if he was reading it, than I do reading myself, where it's only medium funny.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
if I was floating in space and there was a marble that was orbiting me at, say, five feet away - how long would it take for one orbit?
145 years.

Today on YouTube -- A monkey protecting a kitten from a chicken. (Or maybe it's a chicken trying to rescue a kitten from a monkey. It's hard to tell.)

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.

Let's see....
For a body in an elliptical orbit of semimajor axis a about a much more massive body of mass M the orbital period P is given by
P=(2 pi a3/2) / √(gM)
Unfortunately, I don't know what g (acceleration due to gravity, I think) would be.... oh well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a guy here at work who's very patient with me, like it's all he can do to avoid blowing his stack with me.
Thing is, he's like that whether I agree with him or not. I cannot even begin to imagine how to calm him down. Sure, many of the times we disagree I'm right, and that may be annoying, but when we're in accord?
Perplexed.
