Oh, my god, this woman on today's Jeopardy episode keeps answering without actually ringing in first. It's painfully embarassing.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is she answering in the form of a question?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The day of the first McCain/Obama debate, I asked my boss if I could leave a little early so I was sure I made it home on time. Yesterday she called and told me I should leave early today to make sure I caught this one too.
I think she just wants to have someone she can laugh at Palin with.

Yes. There is that, at least.
Going into final Jeopardy, Ken Jennings had $35,000. The next closest person had $5,000. The premature-answer woman had around $1,000, and made it out negative numbers on the second to last question.

I can't possibly watch the debate tonight. Were I to drink enough alcohol to make watching the debate in any way tolerable, I would pass out.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Heh - flea, I just said the same thing in Bitches. I think I'd have to be swimming in a vat of whiskey.

Ann, that's a ferret.
This is my fave:
Bolsters Sarah Palin's foreign-policy credentials by giving her a German shepherd, a Siamese cat, and a Dutch long-eared rabbit. (Cheryl Lynn Helm)I raised Dutch rabbits as a kid. They're at least cute.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hey, now, so are German Shepherds and Siamese cats!

Radioactive scorpion venom could be used to fight brain cancer
With the added benefit of turning you into a superhero....
Scientists have discovered that a non-toxic extract from the venom seeks out and locks onto malignant cells after it is injected into the body.
By irradiating it before it goes in the body it can be used to target the cancer cells with killer radiation but at the same time leave the healthy cells unharmed.
The scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus lives in the Middle East and among the powerful cocktail of neurotoxins packed into its venom is a peptide that is non-toxic to humans but binds to tumour cells.
In laboratory experiments, the peptide has invaded tumours in breast, skin, brain and lung tissue, but left healthy cells untouched.
That's actually pretty awesome.
