Piglet born with heart-shaped spots.

Best part of that story:

"There has been a lot of interest because they are a fatty breed and it's a different taste to the normal type of pig - it's much more succulent."

Mmmm.... nummy piglet....

I think lunch will be grilled cheese.

and who linked to 90dayJane? I'm guessing fake - partly due to this line 'I mean, as an atheist I feel life has no greater purpose.' Sitting in the agnostic/ atheist camp- greater purpose is sort of an odd thing to say and the second thing - 400 + comments on her fourth entry? really ?

and thanks to Chicago turning into Hoth, my sinuses are in revolt.

Spares you the Tauntaun stench?

I had a bacon sandwich for lunch and the kids had mac & cheese.

I missed a blood draw for lab work today because I was too tired. Tomorrow's schedule is looking extremely packed. Olivia is turning into a tiny tyrant and Owen's going through a biting stage.

I will pay the first Buffista who can get here $1000 to babysit my kids over the weekend so I can escape.

fake? or not?

I hope to God fake, tiggy. Makes me queasy and angry just looking at it.

I've been paranoically monitoring how many views our flickr pictures get since another Buffista got creeped out last year by a huge number of out-of-the-blue hits on a flickr picture of her partly clothed sprog. So far, nothing untoward. But, brrr, lisah, creepy. I'm sorry we're now missing out on cute nephewness. Stupid people.

and the second thing - 400 + comments on her fourth entry? really ?

And she's already threatening to Goodbye Cruel Internets if people keep being mean to her?

Samurai dog armor shows pet armers how it was done in the good old days

While this armor for cats and mice is contemporary art (Itcy and Scratchy inspired, perhaps?), this suit of dog armor is authentic and 200 years old. Historians estimate that the armor was built in Japan between 1800 and 1850 (possibly before) and belonged to a high-ranking samurai. It's the only known suit of its kind and was quite expensive for the original owner — its materials include chanfron armor, doeskin leather, silk brocade, a hand-carved wooden mask and gold leaf.

I've been scanning through some output to verify it did the right thing. Did you know that if you are looking at a column of a lot of sixes, you'll start seeing fives where there aren't any?

Ahrg.

Heh.

Sometimes I take the 206 bus to work (from the Howard CTA station). At a distance it's almost impossible to tell the 206 bus and 205 bus apart. One of these days I'm going to end up at the Old Orchard Shopping Center instead of at work....
