I've always wondered: does Hell have good dental insurance?

No, but I bet you'd get hazard pay. I hear it's on everyone's hot list....

Lee, I hate when that happens. Can you take a long lunch and do some window shopping or the like?

Make up a reason why you need to go to the Stanford library and go home instead!

Hmmm.

Eh. It's okay.

I'll tell you what really sucked: They never turned on the air conditioners.

I've heard the ninth subbasement is pretty cold though.

That would require actually leaving, and I think I'm too lazy for that, unless I'm going home.

Hey! You are me! Give it back!

Just tell them that somewhere on this earth it's quitting time right now, and you're going home.

I woke up at 12 today. One thing I love about being a grad student -- I can pretty much set my own schedule. Except that lately there have been some incidents that make me a bit scared to stay at the office too late -- I don't want to be the last one there.

I really need to get dressed and go grade papers for a little while. I really don't want to.

I've heard the ninth subbasement is pretty cold though.

And it's filled with roaches.

But that was being taken care of by some guy with thick glasses who got moved down there. Kept muttering about a stapler. And fire.

Or I could just leave and see if anyone actually noticed.

Imagine the entire world networked together with pneumatic tubing.

Would it look like a giant gerbil habitat?

From an AP article:

So far, melamine's been found in both wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate imported from China. Media reports from South Africa suggest a third pet food ingredient, corn gluten, used in that country also was contaminated with melamine.

Chinese authorities have told the FDA that the wheat gluten was an industrial product not meant for pet food, Sundlof said. Still, melamine can skew test results to make a product appear more protein-rich than it really is, he added. That raises the possibility the contamination was deliberate.

Wilbur-Ellis Co., the U.S. importer of the tainted rice protein, said Thursday it was recalling all the ingredient it had distributed to five U.S. pet food manufacturers. The San Francisco company in turn urged its customers to recall any products that may be on store shelves.

So far, just two of those companies have done so: Natural Balance Pet Foods and Blue Buffalo Co.

Natural Balance, of Pacoima, Calif., announced a limited recall Monday of its Venison and Brown Rice canned and bagged dog foods, Venison and Brown Rice dog treats and Venison and Green Pea dry cat food.

Blue Buffalo, of Wilton, Conn., followed Thursday by recalling 5,044 bags of its Spa Select Kitten dry food. The company intercepted most of the kitten food before it reached distribution centers, company co-founder Billy Bishop said.

FDA officials would not release the names of the other two manufacturers that Wilbur-Ellis supplied, citing its ongoing investigation.
