howcome, aurelia?
One or more people have been shot in the building - a Metra train station is in the building so they're shut down.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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

From the Chicago Tribune:
Keegan Greene, who works at Verizon Wireless on the first floor was helping a customer when fire alarms began going off.
"One of the security guards came up to us and started saying, "Run, run, run, run, run!" Green said.
Not something you want to hear from a security guard.

31? (That's how old Jesus was when he died, right?)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Gunman in the building, people shot, looks like most of Chicago's police, fire and emergency medical staff are there. TV is saying it's been resolved, but it's gonna be a mess for a while. The response was massive, so whatever office was hit must've been big.
Metra will NOT be running tonight.

It helps that I went all medieval on their asses and am torching them with copying out of a book
Oh my god, I remember this trick. You just flashed me back to Mr. Saunder's fifth grade class.
OK, I can go home now, right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think Jesus was 33.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Yeah, 33--he was 30 when he was baptized, and had a three-year ministry (according to the gospels).

Oh yeah - that makes sense.
I guess that just like math knowledge, there's a half-life for Jesus knowledge if you don't use it....

What is even happening?
IE 7 hates the Christopher Hitchens piece. Every time I open it, it gives me a message that it's encountered a problem and has to close, so I can't argue with him, this time. I'm nodding along with most of you, though.
It means that if Christopher Hitchens doesn't want to have sex with you, it doesn't matter whether or not you're funny.
Isn't he gay?

We just had Julia's (belated) birthday party. 10 little girls and I'm wiped out like I forged an icy river. They were very good, except for chasing Ben.
They're seven and eight years old.
Now I have to go check with people who'd know, to make sure my Narrator's okay.
