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 book looks cool: Corrupted Science: the history, cause, effect and state of bad science

This part of the review stands out:

After this delightful and enervating overview, Grant moves on to different social causes of fraud: ideological scientists who fooled themselves (for example, the discoverers of "menstrual rays" and other improbable phenomena)

Huh? Menstrual rays? WTF? Google was of no help - two of the three matches were to reviews of this book....

Maybe "menstrual rays" were conjectured to cause womens' periods to sync?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Barack and Michelle Obama have one car, a Ford Escape hybrid.

Ha! First reaction is amusement at the "of course it's a hybrid!" and the one car, one house, how much more normal can you get? Second reaction is how do you manage those two lives with one car?

Yeah, I believe that was the super power of the 50 foot woman.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I believe that was the super power of the 50 foot woman.

I thought that was the super power that brought down the 50-foot woman.

Barack and Michelle Obama have one car, a Ford Escape hybrid.

I believe the Ford Escape is the mandatory candidate car, American and a Hybrid! I think he had a Chrysler 300 before running.

No, that was menstrual cramps.

Always Anti-fascist!

Go Emmy winning Ed Danvers! He was good in the half of Damages I managed to watch, but I've always thought he was good...I don't know what, like, pushed him over. Yeah, I agree. That hybrid sees a lot of action.

Allyson - a couple of words occurred to me. How about "twit" or "git"?

Hee. A cute guy with Ronon Dex hair just winked at me as he rode by on his bike. Some days it's the little things.
