And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

This was my first thought as well.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I wonder if this is to try to distract people from the legal question about McCain's citizenship (which, while valid, is also ridiculous).

When I read about that on Snopes I nearly wet myself laughing.

Jeezis, can't we find ANY Amurricans to run?

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

This is the most awesome painting of a major historical event ever! The Surrender

I'm not sure it's 100% accurate, as I know of no documentation that Robocop was at the Battle of Yorktown. Also, I think most paleontologists would agree that even as far back as the American Revolution, the dinosaurs were already extinct, in which case it would have been impossible for George Washington to have ridden a triceratops into battle.

But the important thing is the painting got the spirit of our enemy's surrender right....

eta: note from the artist:

I painted this for the 225th anniversary of the Battle of Yorktown when George Washington and the Continentals traunched the British. The county would not dignify it with a response, however, George Washington's Mount Vernon estate kindly wrote me an e-mail saying they would "pass it along to the staff".

I need to clean. And run to Walgreens. And buy a wedding card. And figure out all my insane travel arrangements.

I need to make lists. Otherwise I may forget to pick up Dana from the airport tomorrow.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

And suddenly I'm concerned about Allyson's bat.

He's a Mexican free-tail.

On his way to Argentina as we speak, where he's going to stay with vampire bats for awhile.
