Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

“Not dead yet!”

I think air dry completely first, Burrell, then wash and dry again.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I stopped by the department admin's desk to score a doughnut (leftover from today's meeting) only to find she also had fruit leftover from last Friday's meeting. When I asked her if those were available for snagging, she gave me a bag and told me to take the whole lot. Four oranges and two apples for free--yay!

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

Popular Giant Star Shrinks Mysteriously

In 1993, measurements put Betelgeuse's radius at about 5.5 astronomical units (AU), where one AU equals the average Earth-sun distance of 93 million miles, or about 150 million km. Since then it has shrunk in size by 15 percent. That means the star's radius has contracted by a distance equal to the orbit of Venus.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

How could the bandwidth for a podcast of This American Life cost $120,000? Couldn't they just have Itunes host it?

Whoa thunderstorm. With hail. Cooled things nicely off, if making the power a little flickery. Now that the rain isn't going sideways, have all the windows open.

The bathroom is really noisy in a hailstorm.

Unfortunate phrasing on the radio: "Springer was allegedly killed in Iraq by someone..."

Surely he was actually killed. It may be a point of allegation as to who did it, but death of soldiers is pretty well into the factual realm.
