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

A prediction on future food from 1958: Closer Than We Think! Fat Plants and Meat Beets (1958)

There will be less grazing land in tomorrow's crowded world, so beefsteaks may have to be replaced by extracted vegetable proteins flavored with synthetics that taste like real meat.

According to Cal Tech biologist James Bonner, new varieties of plants, rich in fats and edible proteins will be developed. Interest in this idea is already evidenced at the Michigan Agricultural Board where plans for a "phytotron" - or ultra-controlled greenhouse - are under way. This equipment will facilitate the study of plant characteristics - and show how to modify them.

Bonner also predicted at a recent Seagram scientific symposium that future farms could be operated by tapes fed through master control panels.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Allyson, isn't this the same apartment building that banned you from the common areas during most of the time you would actually want to use it after one noisy (nothing worse) party? You have asshat landlord and neighborhoods who don't understand personal boundaries. Yeah, totally time to move.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Fat Plants and Meat Beets

Is that better than a Zoot Suit with a drape shape and reet pleats?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OK, Scola just made me laugh to death.

Yoda stamp the post office does release today

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Postal Service sought to harness the force Thursday, releasing a new postage stamp featuring Star Wars’ enigmatic Yoda, known for his odd syntax as well as his wisdom.

The Jedi master’s stamp was originally part of a multi-stamp Star Wars set and is now available as an individual stamp following a public vote on which of that set should receive special attention.

Noah made me happy and may have saved a tester's life.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy birthday, Brenda!!

it is called a "Fish cat" - at least that's the direct translation

Hooray, I got it right! The chicken photos still make me laugh.

Joe's mom is fine, though they don't know *why* her heart went racing at 200 bpm for about 6 hours. Enzymes and other blood work came back normal and she'll have a stress test and other stuff with her PCP.

Aimee, my mom and my uncle both have that (and I’ve had a couple brief episodes). It usually hits my mom when she already sick or is fighting something off. She takes medication to keep it under control. Before she started the medication she could often make it stop by relaxing and controlling her breathing.

Well, in ita's defense, she did say it was worse than goatse

And tubgirl! Which was more than ample warning for me.

Who went and slowed down time?

Hmmm...

What do we think is worse, Goatse or Tub Girl?
