Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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

Now I wish I was like Elmer Fudd with a spear and magic helmet, so I could smite those people....

Huge Outburst from a Magnetar

I think magnetars are my new favorite stellar body. I just love the name magnetar (although I wanna read it as maneater, sending me to an annoying Hall and Oats place).

The source for these events was a magnetar, a type of neutron star that is the most highly magnetized object known, with a magnetic field some 10,000 million times stronger than Earth’s. The new magnetar, christened SGR 0501+4516, is of the type known as Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters (SGR), and is the first such found in the last decade. Magnetars are known for spectacular periods of irregular burst activity, changing their luminosity up to ten orders of magnitude on timescales of just a few milliseconds.

Now I wish I could change my luminosity up to ten orders of magnitude on timescales of just a few milliseconds.

Also, a "Soft Gamma-Ray Repeater" sounds like a deadly Nerf gun that you can buy at ThinkGeek....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Do we need to send out the laser cats to eliminate them, sara?

This is back, but I think those glass frogs are an evolutionary attempt to avoid dissection.

I had more, but I need to scramble to get ready to leave town now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There are no annoying Hall and Oates places.

Leave me alone, I'm a family man. And my bark is much worse than my bite.

Huh. I thought it would go the other way.
