'Sleeper'
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.
I love Gossip Girl too, Sophia, but I have to avoid the talk about it places that aren't my friends list.
Jesus God, I know I am not the most articulate person, but reading a couple of board I felt like I was reading lolcat!
We should start talking about here! I think smonster and a few others watch it too.
That would be great, although now I can't think of anything to say. I am just in love with the costumes and the colors and beautiful, broken people.
An FYI for fans of Keith Olbermann's special comments--he's doing one tonight on Hillary, and it's not expected to be pretty. He spent some time on last night's show on all the Ferraro comments, and he was obviously pissed off about it.
The sword Susan posted is gorgeous. Must have now.
Also, my wireless is very slow. Slow, as in, spent the last meeting kind of talking with vague gestures because none of us could actually get anything to load. Came back to the office, and when I went to put in a ticket, there was a status report on the IT groups website saying: ISSUE: Reports that wireless may be slow.
Umm, thanks.
God, could we be any metallier?

So interesting! I hope your students appreciate getting to learn this stuff, Emily.

Why did we bother having an Iron Age, then?
They used up all the easily mined tin and copper, and iron was cheaper. Wrought iron is more brittle than bronze and neither keeps an edge particularly well. Then steel was developed, which was much better than both them.

Watch out for Bronze Man. I hear he could totally take you.

Biting back on a really-o truly-o LOL because it would be too hard to explain to the coworkers...

Isn't that Doc Savage?
Having sat on the Stupidest Case Ever with no evidence but testimony, and inconsistent testimony at that, this article [link] saying that city prosecutors are dropping fewer pre-trial cases (due to better investigations supposedly) doesn't fill me with confidence. In 2006 (when I think I had the stupidest case ever) they were throwing out 1 in 3. And THAT one got through? Sheeit.
