'Out Of Gas'
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.
Allyson - how about a cherimoya or atamoya (sp?). They're firm enough to do some damage, obscure enough that it would throw some education in, and their appearance is pretty interesting.
In animal news - Nova last night had a show on cuttlefish. They're fascinating animals! and, seemingly, wicked smart. Also - they do a kind of light show with their coloring (bands of light and dark pulsing down their bodies and tentacles) that seemingly hypnotizes their prey.
More Olympics:
On the gymnastics, I wish they would tell you the difficulty ratings on the routines upfront as a matter of course, as well as explain a bit more about what goes into that.
Re the medal count discussion yesterday - American stations that I've seen are listing them by total medal count, not heaviest gold take first. Wonder why?
I was actually wondering if they would put the US at the top of the list even if we were actually in the middle of the rankings.

For the record: cherimoya.

NBC's web coverage had a chart of each team's total difficulty rating going into the competition -- I don't think they broke it down by routine but I'm hoping they will before Friday.
Thanks, Nilly. She got dropped off a little while ago and the surgery will actually happen this afternoon. I'm trying very hard not to think about it.
Deserves it's own post:
Lots of ~ma for Lucy and brendam!
Surgery-ma for Lucy.
