Don't forget the existence of a predator of the predators upon the predator/prey ratio, too.

All the lovely talk of dogs -- last night I caught up with Mythbusters who were examining dog 'myths' like teaching old dogs new tricks, methods of escaping from bloodhounds and evading guard dogs. The doggies were adorable, and everybody had a lot of fun, especially the dogs.

It's definitely an episode that I'd recommend for people who don't follow the show regularly.

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

It's a good thing that the idea of "Turn two; the rest are food" never really caught on....

Generally speaking, ideas seem less neat if they get their originator burned up into ash in front of everyone's yes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Good morning, all.

Number of times I heard upstairs neighbors chant drink-drink-drink: 2
Number of minutes I hung on the doorbell waiting for them to hear it: 3
Volume of song that drew my ire: ca. 90 decibels
Number of years since Boys II Men was cool: infinity
Time of offense: 7:30pm
Status of upstairs neighbors: see above re: drink drink drink

And yet, after my epic yelling event (I eventually got one of them on the phone, and he clearly recalled the last time, which involved 4am, the effword, and threats), they quieted down considerably and left the house at about 9 to go annoy somebody else. But, I mean really -- Boys II Men, on St. Patty's Day, at 7:30pm? These neighbors were in the 3rd grade when Boys II Men was big.

Our wings are not tired.

Sheesh Nutty, you'll never get invited to their party that way.

Art Crawl!!!

Animal planet is showing a flyball tournament. Lots of fun and not 100 percent border collie and jack russell. (They had a German Longhaired Pointer on one team.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's so good. Continues to surprise.

eta I can so spell!

Yep. That's a big bus.

OK, this science story is a little... odd. Have you heard about the new and exciting cancer treatment? It's... antimatter. No, really.

“To achieve the same level of damage to cells at the target area one needs four times fewer antiprotons than protons. This significantly reduces the damage to the cells along the entrance channel of the beam for antiprotons compared to protons. Due to the antiproton’s unsurpassed ability to preserve healthy tissue while causing damage to a specific area, this type of beam could be highly valuable in treating cases of recurring cancer, where this property is vital.”

Agility tournaments are also fun to watch. Including a Yorkie who ran the whole course in great time -- yapping every second, I kid you not. You wondered how he could breathe!
