oh! oh! billytea! you know what else came up in the show about cuttlefish? There's the Flamboyant Cuttlefish - when it's threatened it kind of puffs up and gets bright yellow markings (since it's only about three inches long, it doesn't puff up very large). Anyway, some scientists were curious as to whether it did that because it was poisonous or if it wanted predators to think it was poisonous. So they found a female who'd recently laid her eggs (since she wasn't long for this world) and tested her. She's toxic; on a level with the blue-ringed octopus. Australia scores yet another poisonous critter. yay?

Huh. That's not how I remember that story ending.

So I watched part of the US/Korea baseball game at lunch. The Korean pitcher would do this sorta' sideways throw... what's up with that?

Really? I have no words for this trainwreck of a movie.

The crowd at Heritage got to see a trailer and a few minutes of clips 24 hours before either of them will be generally released. I’m a huge fan of the Zucker-Leslie Nielsen canon, and not much of a fan of Zucker’s ads for Republicans. The footage we saw floated somewhere in the middle of those two projects, quality-wise. Fat-assed Malone travels to Cuba, pledges to destroy America, and takes advantage of the invisibility granted by ghost status by grabbing a protestor’s boobs. Bill O’Reilly appears out of nowhere to slap him. “I just like doing that,” he says. Terrorists led by everybody’s favorite pockmarked tough guy Robert Davi bitch that they’re low on suicide bombers ("All the good ones are gone!") and all answer to the name Mohammed. In a scene that Sokoloff described, but didn’t bring, Patton and his soldiers storm a courthouse that’s about to remove the Ten Commandments and start opening fire on the people trying to stop them. “You can’t shoot these people!” Malone says. “They’re not people!” says Patton. “They’re the ACLU!” At this point we see that the ACLU members are unkillable George Romero zombies.

I just had a moment.

Yes, new shiny, but MY POINT IS, don't start playing with it until you can get it working with the machine it needs to work with. Doesn't do us any good until you figure that out.

I had to leave.

You know, I'm getting a tad bit weary over certain right-wing commentators "joking" about how people they disagree with should be killed.

Tell them they'll go blind.

And how we need to smite the morons!

Did you read my bat pirate song? It actually made my workday less irritating for five minutes.

A guy I went to high school with was hospitalized with liver damage for about a week after combining Tylenol and alcohol. (I don't know the exact amount. He had a party while his parents were away from home that got busted by the police. He took some Tylenol and went to bed, then woke up a few times, still having a headache, and took some more Tylenol. He said he didn't know exactly how much he took.)

Bret Saberhagen style?

Over 360 animals have been rescued from a hoarder in the town where my dad grew up. I'm betting my dad went to school with this woman.
