You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

I'm getting the pig!

My favorite classic quote, because it's so very true:

Boss: So, is there any other duty that you do on a daily basis that we should include on this list?

Worker: You mean other than miscellaneous bullshit?

Boss: Well, how much time do you spend on miscellaneous bullshit everyday?

Worker: Depending on the day, between 10 minutes and 8 hours.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Can a drug interaction between Dayquil and Wellbutrin make you feel hammered?

A common side effect (~22%) of Wellbutrin -- even on its own -- is dizziness. And 2 of the ingredients in DayQuil can also cause dizziness.

I'd say drink a lot of water, and maybe avoid caffeine.

The combo won't kill you; the dizziness is going to be more annoying than harmful (unless the dizziness is so bad that you whack into a wall or something -- so avoid walls).

Mostly lurking...

Happy Birthday, Hil! You share a birthday with my uncle, who is turning 70 this year! Craziness! Actually, I just wrote a special 70th birthday "Mad Lib" for my kids to fill out today. I will call him tonight and share it. I expect there to be hilarity as their favorite verb and noun is fart, and their favorite color tends to be pink.

Emily sighting! Umm...$600 seems excessive, both for airfare and for Christmas presents, but I admit that I'm a cheapy.

I can do this all day

Thanks, Tep.

Man, usually I have to drink a few beers to feel like this.

If only I wasn't at work, this might be kinda awesome.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Trudy, this. You'd probably still have to go through security, but it'll be more open.

The inauguration itself, though, is a ticket-only thing, although they're expecting huge crowds on the Mall.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thanks, Todd. My sister will be so psyched.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Happy birthday, Hil!

Does anyone have any suggestions for recent biotech articles (at a NYT reading level) that would be interesting for high school students to discuss?
