[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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?

Not Exactly Rocket Science is my favorite Biology-centric blogs, and has links to lots of good recent articles.

Er... fuel? Thanksgiving? Less than three weeks until? I dunno, really. Maybe I should save it for summer.

Don't save it for summer! I miss you.
