A grad student just sent me his CV for a job. It's SIX PAGES. Sweetie, I've been working professionally for over ten years, and mine is two pages. No, no, no.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can early cat ownership protect children at-risk for asthma?

A study released by researchers at the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health (CCCEH) shows that cat ownership may have a protective effect against the development of asthma symptoms in young children at age five.

The study, published by the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, found that children with cats in the home were more likely to have made allergy-related antibodies to cats. At three years of age, children who had made antibodies to cats early in life were more likely to have wheeze, a respiratory symptom associated with asthma. However, by age five, the same children who had grown up with a cat were then found to be less likely to have wheeze.

Is it an academic vita? Those are supposed to be as long as possible, IME.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Who's the cutest little wrathmonster? Who is? You are!

Hold still while I kick you with my sparkly rainbow shoes, which are pretty damn cute, no lie.

you know, when they had me do that a few years back, it gave me enough data to argue for a large raise.

I so doubt that this will be the case for me, considering the economy and my current industry. I mean, I will get a bonus if I write this damned thing, but I'm not sure they'll be paying me enough.

Probably not enough, but more is always better.

I read a long article about Perlman (in Vanity Fair?) and his shit is BANANAS. Really incredible scams.
