Oh, good, I'm glad I could be a little helpful, even if I didn't really have answers! I'm always glad to see people contemplating clinical trials--otherwise, we wouldn't have new medicines, and I wouldn't have a job! :)

t edit: and I"m pretty sure you were cc'd, java...

Shit. I need to talk to the IT guys. The thing is, the filter isn't one like I've got at home (McAfee) where the crap sits bold-faced in a folder in my Inbox and I can check it. The work filter filters at the server level, and I have no idea it's there until I get the occasional "these messages were not delivered" and it's sometimes days after the e-mail was sent. Totally random and driving me nuts. And since it's at the server-level, there aren't settings available to me to adjust.

Did all y'all see on Fark.com, the Muppets blooper reel? HYSTERICAL. Go, watch.

javachick, I'd emailed you too, at yahoo listed in your profile! Maybe I got spam filtered (my address is like my name with gmail.) If you want me to try again, will do.

Anyone else watching Frontline's Bad Voodoo's War ?

These guys' attitude remind me so much of my brother. He got out after the Serbia thing, my SIL a while later. For which I'm selfishly grateful because they had it easy and to think of the changes that would've happened to them had they still been Army these days, well, it would kill me. So instead, my heart just breaks for all these soldiers still serving. It's so fucked up.

Interestingly, the box jelly/sea wasp stings are more likely to kill women and children than men -- not because they're weaker, but because abundant body hair is sufficient to keep the stingers off the skin. I understand that in some places in Australia, the lifeguards wear pantyhose which is also sufficient protection.

If you want me to try again, will do.

Okay, just checked Yahoo bulk folder but it's usually 300+ every morning and I delete it daily. Nothing there. Yes, please re-send. Thanks!

I am Sarameg. It is making me sad.. Poor soldiers

My apple is too sweet. What's with...nature? I wanted crisp and refreshing, but this jazz apple has perfect texture and too much sugar.

I'm watching a random episode of Enterprise, and they fail 100% in stylistic continuity. TOS had a tremendous lack of screens displaying data--they worked in flashing lights and panels. Enterprise is someone going nuts with an oscilloscope and a budget for colour.

Ack. Sugar apple.

javachick, I just resent. Re-sent. That's a difficult word...

Hey did anyone mention the book Physics of the Impossible which tackles a lot of scifi -ishes, especially out of Star Trek? I read a review in the Monitor today and it was largely positive.

Come on, people! Check out the Muppets blooper reel! It involves Beaker....
