I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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

Not just a pretty breast.

Well, this is a good thing:

United to bring call-center jobs back from India

United Airlines plans to stop using an Indian call center to field passenger complaints about in-flight service or other travel issues and will hire 165 customer relations agents in Chicago and Hawaii to handle those duties.

Chicago-based United told its employees Tuesday that as of the end of April, customers who wish to share complaints or praise about a flight will have to do so via email or letter. The nation's No. 3 airline plans to turn off a customer relations phone number.

However, United's call centers will still handle reservations, queries about lost luggage and refunds, said United spokeswoman Robin Urbanski.

I hope someone has a recommendation, because the MP3 player I just bought has horrendous ones that I desperately need to replace.

Because books.

I can't wear earbuds, Perkins, so I don't know. I think my ears are actually too small -- every pair I've ever tried has hurt.

This is also awesome--Salma Hayek breast-feeds an African baby

While being filmed by a "Nightline" camera crew on a recent humanitarian mission in Sierra Leone, actress Salma Hayek came across the starving baby of a woman unable to breast-feed. What is an international sex symbol to do in such a situation? Why, pop out a breast on camera and nurse that baby, damn it. Top that, Angelina!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Kathy's a skimmer, pass it on.

Matt, did you see the photos of the koala that climbed into a tub of water that some kids filled for him? How do you not anthropomorphize in situations like that?
