Phone just rang. Verbatim conversation:
Guy on phone: "Hey, how's it going?"
me: "Hi, who is this?"
Guy: "My name is Tony Somethingorother, and I'm sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ tonight. Can I share it with you?"
me: "No, thank you." Hangs up.
Christian telemarketers? What fresh hell is this?

Maybe they get a commission when they get to heaven.
Hobbits were real!
(No, really Homo floresiensis has been established as a new species of tiny humans.)
ita- I hope your father is better soon.
Also, WRT the Christian Telemarketer-- I feel that "Good News" is rather outmoded. I mean, shouldn't good news be surprising and new. Jesus died a long time ago. But I come from the point of view that evangelizing of any kind seems sort of rude to me, and perhaps like something Jesus wouldn't have done. He seems like he wanted to help the less fortunate and, you know, not throw stones if we live in glass houses and such, and in general be nice and good toother people (do unto others). And I bet Tony does not want us calling him to telemarket Buffy, or devil worship, or anything.
Have no idea if the hobbit thing is true, but one thing I do know, is not to trust the BBC News Science section. E.g.: [link]
ion I shouldn't celebrate with candy corn. Candy for dinner is NOT GROWN-UP!

How lawyerly of you. Going to the credibility of the expert witness. Oh, I see your game, bon. Mmmmhmmm.
As for the hobbits, the original discovery was made in 2004 and it's been hotly debated ever since with some arguing that it's really a dwarf with microencephaly. But the new tests indicate that is not so.
