Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Male-Female Crabs Split their Difference

David Johnson and Robert Watson thought they had seen all there was to see in the Chesapeake Bay in almost three decades until they pulled out a crab from the way that had a male left half and a female right half. Now, that crab, acquired by Romuald Lipcius of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science at the College of William & Mary, has moved sideways into the world of natural metabolites where its gynandromorphic peculiarities have helped scientists, for the first time, discover that some molecules can be made only by one sex and not the other.

"Gynandromorphic Peculiarities" would be a good band name.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Apparently the weather service has a slogan to convince people not to drive into high water.

Turn Around, Don't Drown.

I guess it rhymes better than "What are you, a dumbass?"

Russians given day off to have sex

I told y'all about my idea that people should be able to call in "all sexed up" right? I think it would make the world a much more pleasant place. Seriously.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nuh-uh. I don't want to hear about other people's sex lives at work! My job is full of enough TMI.

Yeah, but it's no: "You shall not pass. Dumbass."

(CBS) SACRAMENTO A woman is admitted to the Sacramento mental hospital, after trying to drive off with a fire engine, half-naked.

Fire officials say the attempted theft happened when they were on a first aid call. The driver of the fire engine says he was at the back of the truck, when he heard the accelerator. He found Schilicia Griffin in the driver's seat, and pulled her out.

Officials say Griffin was just released from the mental hospital shortly before she tried to steal the truck. She has been re-admitted for evaluation.
