Kristen: In unrelated news, can someone explain to me why people name their local electric chairs?

Yeah. Old Sparky. Old Smokey. Old Betsy. (There does seem to be a continuing theme of "Old" going on here. Maybe people who name their electric chairs just lack vision.) Yellow Mama. WTF?

Hec: I'm thinking that Old Smokey is not my preferred method of exit from this planet. Maybe New Instanteously if really pressed on this issue.

Betsy: People did name guillotines and executioners' swords.

ita: People name their genitalia.

People can be strange.

Betsy: The named genitalia freak me more than the named executioners' swords. Thanks, ita.

aurelia: Now I'm wondering if Mrs. Bobbit named her knife.

News story: 'We can already use DNA, for example, to make electronic circuits so it's possible to think of a smart yoghurt some time after 2020 or 2025, where the yoghurt has got a whole stack of electronics in every single bacterium. You could have a conversation with your strawberry yogurt before you eat it.'

JZ: I keep trying to think what the yoghurt would say and all I can come up with is "God no please please please oh Jesus help me please don't eat me I'll do anything just please please no," and really I'd just as soon it kept quiet.

if someone asked me for porn, I swear I would give them pictures of furniture in Pottery Barn. Or Williams Sonoma shit.

Oh, that's so funny! I need to make a folder called PORN on my PDA with those three categories of pictures.

Then, they'll find it in my personal effects after my death, and my mother will cry a lot.

From over in the fanfic thread:

askye: A couple months ago she had a "rod iron" head board for sale and then later a "Chip and Dale" table with chairs.

Calli: Awwww. Chipmunk-themed furniture. Too cute.

amych: You say that now. But then it starts singing.
