It was very cute. The bride's mother made the collars as a surprise. They only wore them for photos, but they held up very well.

Greyhound Carl has the earitude to pull that collar off.

CARl! yes I know those books....

Em! I made Matt come and watch her cance.

All hail the internet. I have ice cream in the freezer, and in the interest of giving back, have just put up a whole lot of Keith Hamilton Cobb.

What goes around will come around.

Off to the bread.

Freaky! May be scary if you're drunk.... It has protrusible jaws, which make it even more freaky.

That thing is all kinds of Alien.

This is weird. From the Sunday Times:

US generals ‘will quit’ if Bush orders Iran attack

SOME of America’s most senior military commanders are prepared to resign if the White House orders a military strike against Iran, according to highly placed defence and intelligence sources.

Tension in the Gulf region has raised fears that an attack on Iran is becoming increasingly likely before President George Bush leaves office. The Sunday Times has learnt that up to five generals and admirals are willing to resign rather than approve what they consider would be a reckless attack.

“There are four or five generals and admirals we know of who would resign if Bush ordered an attack on Iran,” a source with close ties to British intelligence said. “There is simply no stomach for it in the Pentagon, and a lot of people question whether such an attack would be effective or even possible.”

A British defence source confirmed that there were deep misgivings inside the Pentagon about a military strike. “All the generals are perfectly clear that they don’t have the military capacity to take Iran on in any meaningful fashion. Nobody wants to do it and it would be a matter of conscience for them.

In a new documentary, Producer Cameron and his director, Simcha Jacobovici, make the starting claim that Jesus wasn't resurrected --the cornerstone of Christian faith-- and that his burial cave was discovered near Jerusalem. And, get this, Jesus sired a son with Mary Magdelene.

No, it's not a re-make of "The Da Vinci Codes'. It's supposed to be true.

I was under the impression that there's very little evidence that Jesus actually lived.

Anyway,

...film-makers Cameron and Jacobovici claim to have amassed evidence through DNA tests, archeological evidence and Biblical studies, that the 10 coffins belong to Jesus and his family.

Ever the showman, (Why does this remind me of the impresario in another movie,"King Kong", whose hubris blinds him to the dangers of an angry and very large ape?) Cameron is holding a New York press conference on Monday at which he will reveal three coffins, supposedly those of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene.

I remain skeptical. And am confused by the "DNA evidence." It's not like there's a long line of Jesus' descendants that we know of....

Uh oh -- I just realized that I mis-wrote the notes I took off the computer and into the kitchen for the bread making, and used twice as much yeast as I was supposed to ! What's going to happen? Will it take over my whole kitchen??

Wasn't there an episode of I Love Lucy about that very same thing?
