TV star Bill Nye has requested a restraining order against his former fiancee after she allegedly tried to poison him. Nye, also known as Bill Nye, The Science Guy, sought the order in a Los Angeles court on September 4, after spotting his ex, Blair Tindal, dressed in black and acting suspiciously near his home. The order would prevent Tindal from coming near his California house and contacting him. The legal papers filed state Tindal "emerged from my backyard... carrying two plastic bottles filled with some sort of solvent. Apparently she was trying to poison my plants including some vegetable(s). She fled on foot and then a car sped away from the scene." Tindal had driven by his house twice in the previous three weeks. Nye also complained in an abuse report that Tindal "left a coffee pot on my porch" on August 16. However, Tindal filed a response on November 13, disagreeing with the terms of the restraining order. A hearing has been set for December 20.

shudder....

Lesson to be learned: when you dump a Science Girl you might get poisoned. Or blowed up.

I did it in just under 6 minutes so it's sorta crude.

Still made me laugh.

Couple of pictures of them being eaten by bears should develope a little appreciation.

If you don't listen to me, I'll photoshop your picture into a Teletubby screencap, don't make me do it!

Kids getting eaten by bears sounds like some sort of deranged background image for putting Kings 2:23-24 on.

I have to blame Dana, on Livejournal, because I just joined eMusic to download Bersnstein's Mass, which I have loved since HS, but only have on audio tape

Huh. OK. I"m wondering, if 100 is supposed to be "average", at what point people are noticeably smarter/dumber than average.

Among the people I know, I think everyone can be pretty relatable on a normal conversational level up to about IQ 155. The ones higher than that tend to have the brain-in-a-jar quality, where you get a sense that no amount of explanation will let you understand what they're thinking.

If all y'all keep talking about IQ, I'm going to seek out an online test and take it and then either cry or brag.

No one wants that.

I might.

I suspect the online IQ tests always score the user high so the user will want to buy their complete report for further ego stroking. Maybe I'm just too cynical though.

dear god - no, no online IQ tests. that way lies madness and endless discuss of the validity of said test with links to 4 or 5 more. There is cooking and cleaning and packing to do today. right?

me? I am still just avoiding work.
