Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Is this the impact of allowing same-sex marriage??

No, allowing Elizabeth Taylor to marry.

Cranberry scone:

In other news, I won an auction on eBay the other day, paid yesterday, and today I swear the pants are re-listed. WTFF?

Yeah, I'd say that's a case of not wanting them up at the same time to get more for each pair.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Or maybe the seller is a professional eBayer, and has a whole pallet of them in his garage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I swear it's the exact same pair. At least, it's the exact same picture of slightly wrinkled pants. We'll see if I hear back.

No, allowing Elizabeth Taylor to marry.

Oooo...I totally agree.

Well, it could be that they have a few pairs that are the same and they didn't bother with a new picture.

ION, I just scheduled my first interview at the Philadelphia MLA!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

YAY Megan!

Boo morning!

Britney and K-Fed

I recently read a blog where someone called him Fed-Ex. Which I think is brilliant.

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

Sexual reproduction is just a theory

A pretty funny parody of Intelligent Design stuff....

Abstract
Commonly-accepted theories in science are not subject to radical re-evaluation except in rare instances (see Kuhn for a fuller discussion). We here at the Indescribable Institute believe that the time is ripe for such a major paradigm shift in the current field of Reproductive Biology - namely, challenging the notion that reproduction (commonly defined as the "production of new individuals" or "perpetuation of a given species") occurs via currently-accepted mechanisms such as "fertilization of egg by sperm" and "36-38 week gestational period" which come under the umbrella of "Sexual Reproduction." Given the numerous inherent problems with the Theory of Sexual Reproduction, we propose that alternate theories such as the Stork Theory, the Cabbage Patch Theory and the Found Beneath a Bridge Hypothesis are deserving of fuller investigation, and should be taught as part of any meaningful biological curriculum at the high school or college level.
