I'm confused. Brain dead *is* dead, isn't it? I thought brain death was the standard used for harvesting organs for transplant.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Boy, the commenters on the story at Time Out are not amused.

Flea, I'd been wanting to stop by Youtube to see that video--thanks for the link! I first saw it last year and completely fell in love with it. Only Jim Henson would have his three most incoherent Muppets singing Danny Boy!

Because books.
And Animal's "oh, boy. Ohhhhh ... boy," is most excellent.

Happy Anniversary, Laura and Brendon!
Is St. Patrick's Day normally characterized by the extreme slowness with which it drags? It feels like it's lasted three times as long as Monday already, and it's only mid-afternoon!

Yes. TONY is quite possibly giving out incorrect informtion, with the informtation that TMZ has (sedated, swelling on the brain) sounding more like what I'm used to seeing in the case of that nature of head injury.
(A neighbor of my parents' died a couple of years ago shortly after a skiing accident at Whistler, and their current house guest wound up in hospital after a fall on the ice in Nova Scotia shortly after that. Mother being an RN, all reports included too much information on the medical front.)
(My conclusion from all this is not to fall down in Canada.)

If I've logged into my work e-mail and there aren't any frantic e-mails waiting for me, that counts as an eight-hour day, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

God, seriously. Although my day is almost over! I'm in the weird position of being the least busy person in my department right now.

Absolutely. Have you emailed your boss for extra coverage?

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

No, but with the time difference, it's a little dodgy. Plus, I have nothing to say (other than "yeah, I'm totally not working right now").
