My cats are actually touching each other! In a friendly manner! OK, so they are both passed out and it is more a matter of stretching limbs winding together, but...that particular arrangement has never happened before.

People know that if you wake up with a bat in your room you should get treated for rabies immediately, right? Just FYI.
I did not know that. Glad I do now.

I had a very similar reaction.

Price. Less.
That's really all I've got. No original content today, but I was paying attention, see.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, speaking of paying attention, I did read the link from earlier about the Christian Coalition, and it seems to me like they're permanently marginalized now, which pleases me no end.

To those House lovers out there? Wow. This episode is blowing my socks off.

Yeah, that was rough.

I can't tell if I like this House arc or not. On the one hand, yay for shaking things up, but on the other hand can't we ever spend sweeps just treating bizarre and improbable illnesses? Does November always have to be Vicodin Month?

Speaking of freaky scientific speculation -- if there aren't parallel universes now, maybe we could make some:
One day (far off, no doubt), it may be possible to go into a laboratory on Earth, create a "seed" -- a device that could grow into a universe -- and then there would have to be a way to get that seed, on command, to safely expand into a separate, infinite, unexplorable but very real alternate universe.
The seed, he suggests, could be a black hole. Not the big black holes that sit near the centers of so many galaxies, but what he calls a "mini black hole." Black holes, he says, don't have to be big. They can, in theory, be very small.
Greene also describes a kind of energy, called a "repulsive force," that might be capable of turning that seed into a new universe. The problem is, no one is yet sure how this force works or why. But Eduardo Guendelman, a physicist at Ben Gurion University in Beer Sheva, Israel, and Nobuyuki Sakai and his team at Yamagata University in Japan are working on the problem right now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Thanks, but I'm already freaked out enough by CLOAKING DEVICE IN THE NEXT BUILDING OVER at work. Because everyone knows that where there are cloaking devices, there are Romulans.
