OK, this is one of the funniest sequences I've read in a while:

Does anyone know of any new physics news? Ideally something that high school students can summarize, if not comprehend. And it can't be the Hadron collider, unless something new has happened.

Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood.
Confirmed: Burritoville out of business! Fuck!
I'm actually pretty upset about Burritoville.
Damn woman, how fast does one have to find physics news to satisfy you?
It just had to be before the student decided to leave class to ask his physics teacher. Sorry!
I hate it when restaurants fail! it's so sad.
Not sad but hilarious (to me)

my neighborhood festival had everything! Including a dude dressed up like a sailor eating "Inian" food!
The Rear Admiral Joseph Grey! Awesome!
Cool unexpected thing of the day: About 20 minutes after I got here this morning, several of the secretaries walked in with 2 breakfast cakes and a box full of Mexican pastries as a belated birthday thing.
Nom nom nom.
The Rear Admiral Joseph Grey!
hahahahaha
so appropriate!
Yay for Perkins' work people appreciating her and her birthday having!
From the New York Times article on Goths today:
I just wore black, but Danielle Willis was a Satanic blood fetishist who had her own 19th-century phlebotomy kit, permanent fangs dentally bonded to her eyeteeth and serious drug problems. I once teased her about her decorative penchant for red velvet chaises, heavy curtains, ball-and-claw side tables, stigmata and other forms of morbid opulence, saying that they didn’t necessarily mean she was goth, just Italian. She clocked me pretty hard.
The link, by the way: [link]
Nice, Perkins.
You also share a birthday with British news-hottie Richard Wolffe, I found out on "Countdown" yesterday.
The Bush admin is lucky I don't know anything about them, because Mr. Wolffe would only have to give me a little Hugh Grant-grade fluster about his publication "Shedule" and he'd have me. Or maybe he'd ask me about Senator "Obamar"(Don't ask me why that kills me, but it does.)
Maybe *America* is unlucky that I'm not the dingy receptionist at the DOD.
