Oh puhleeze
You talk so big. You won't even re-name the girl.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
All the experiments I want to do on babies are totally unethical. For example, raise a group of babies in a completely isolated environment with robots that don't speak, to see what kind of culture they come up with....

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
You talk so big. You won't even re-name the girl.My dad rightly pointed out that we'd be disowned if we renamed her so their names would combine into a race car driver's name.
All the experiments I want to do on babies are totally unethical.Sad, but true.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What they all said about the adorableness of Mac. We may have to start calling him Pete.
Shrift, I'm keeping myself awake by reading old Pete Wentz interviews. I think my heart grew three sizes when he talked about CMM being hot.
You need to share these.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy brithday, Jessica!
Oh my gosh mac is adorable! His smile is just melty.
tommyrot it's totally fascinating watching kids learn to count. You can totally see the wee cogs working. Right now Isaac is big on counting, his sister is working on spelling.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The kids or the robots?

I love watching the cogs in children. If you're paying attention (and are lucky enough to be around at the moment) you can practically see the spark in the synapses when a cognitive leap is made. It can be hilarious. Like telling you not to look when they are in the midst of havoc, which you wouldn't have noticed had they not mentioned it!
Learning the basics of manipulation can be pretty hysterical, too. I'm not talking simple cause and effect, but more deliberately- trying to get you to give a specific kind of emotional response. Like what D was doing when I was there. He'd try to rile me so transparently and once he realized I wouldn't play would cheerfully proclaim "let's talk about something fun now!" Hah.
