'Safe'
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.
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.
Is she answering in the form of a question?
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.
Heh - flea, I just said the same thing in Bitches. I think I'd have to be swimming in a vat of whiskey.
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.
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.
I love that one!
So, what's everyone having for lunch?
I just finished mine--red pepper hummus dip for veggies and pita chips and some chocolate pudding for dessert. I won't be on this diet food after this week ($120/week is just too damn expensive, and they're cutting back on hours at the bookstore), but I will say that they do offer some yummy food for the money.
So, what's everyone having for lunch?
Chicken salad (made w/red grapes) in a flour tortilla, string cheese (2), and a cup of beef barley soup. Possibly some strawberries later.
