Now tagless for your comfort.

Adam Walsh's murder is finally solved. Interesting quote at the end of the article:

What it also did, said Mount Holyoke College sociologist and criminologist Richard Moran, is make children and adults alike exponentially more afraid.

"He ended up really producing a generation of cautious and afraid kids who view all adults and strangers as a threat to them and it made parents extremely paranoid about the safety of their children," Moran said.

Many held the view if someone is meant to be with you, then they should know what you want without you telling them.

I can't be alone in thinking that people who hold this view earn every bit of frustration and unhappiness it brings them, can I?

Someone made a joke about making sure we have our badges with us because the Secret Service is here, and now I suspect it wasn't a joke after all.

Speaking as the daughter of one of these people, no, you're not alone.

Trust me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The Periodic Table of Awesomeness

Perhaps I'm being overly picky, but is it too much to ask that if they're going to put lasers and swords in the same group, light sabers should be there too?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I noticed they had "Boobs", but I didn't notice anything for those interested in boys.

This is fairly awesome: Special Barbie commemorates Hitchcock's The Birds

In 1963, Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense, gave us a tale of terror not soon forgotten in his film “The Birds.” Dressed in a re-creation of the stylish green skirt-suit worn by the film’s ill-fated heroine in an iconic scene, Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” Barbie® Doll celebrates the 45th anniversary of the acclaimed film. From the doll’s classic ensemble to the perfectly painted expression to the accompanying black birds, every aspect captures the film’s infamous appeal.

I dunno - Barbie doesn't look too terribly concerned, considering she's about to be killed by birds.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Barbie doesn't look too terribly concerned, considering she's about to be killed by birds.

I dunno. I mean, she has more of an expression on her face than Tippi Hedren ever managed.
