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.
Nicole and I are watching the Comedy Central "Night of Too Many Stars" raising money for autism. For $200 Brian Williams will read your name in a news story. We're more than a little tempted. Because it's Brian Williams. I mean, Brian Williams saying your name. That's worth $200, yes?
We'll be retiring to our bunks soon.
News hos.
Anchor sluts.
Have I not shown you the Daily Show clip often enough? We watched it a few times today already.
Hmm, race slut, anchor slut... I am bislutual.
Anchor sluts.
with impeccable taste.
Bislutual. Hee.
Hi all! A couple lovely Buffistas wrote me notes of missage.
So I pop in just in time for me to say goodnight! Do not know why I am still awake. The ball game is not exactly keeping me on the edge of my seat.
Looks like somebody didn't enter the numbers in time in Hawaii.
I just watched this week's NUMB3RS, and they've had the most egregious (and inexcusable, really, since they're supposed to have consultants around) misuse of the "let's blow up this image impossibly much and see lots of details." I mean, they had information encoded IN PIXELS. Dude, it's not a pixel if you can hide an entire Chinese character in it, and two names written in English within the character itself.
I mean, the premise of the encoding sounded fine until they blew up the pictures and found numbers written in pixels on the one chick's eyebrows.
Hmmph. I'm assuming they meant something like this. Not sure why they couldn't have shown it.
Hey, Laura!
Hmmph. I'm assuming they meant something like this. Not sure why they couldn't have shown it.Bugged me as well. It was a dumb error to have on the show.
The decay of elephant society. Very sad.
When an elephant dies, its family members engage in intense mourning and burial rituals, conducting weeklong vigils over the body, carefully covering it with earth and brush, revisiting the bones for years afterward, caressing the bones with their trunks, often taking turns rubbing their trunks along the teeth of a skull’s lower jaw, the way living elephants do in greeting.

The elephants of decimated herds, especially orphans who’ve watched the death of their parents and elders from poaching and culling, exhibit behavior typically associated with post-traumatic stress disorder and other trauma-related disorders in humans: abnormal startle response, unpredictable asocial behavior, inattentive mothering and hyperaggression. Studies of the various assaults on the rhinos in South Africa, meanwhile, have determined that the perpetrators were in all cases adolescent males that had witnessed their families being shot down in cullings.
