but he turned out to be lazy, not actually paralyzed....
I know that's been the case before! I feel bad because he's gained some weight recently and someone has been peeing inappropriately (could have been his brother) but I hadn't gotten around to taking him in to get his levels checked. Poor Bob is getting thrown into the deep end of pet ownership.

omg that is JUST like me.
my lunch did not satisfy me and my mood has been worsening for the last hour. Nothing really sounds good, hmmm, maybe a diet coke.
Here's a fun game - it's called "Try to explain this flawed logic."
Last night on the O'Reilly Factor, Bill turned to the audience letters. From Peter in Canada: "Has anyone noted that life expectancy in Canada under our health system is higher than the USA?" Bill wasn't phased, but he did use some creative math to answer. "Well Peter, that's to be expected," he said, "we have ten times as many people as you do!"
I'm usually good at explaining "What were they thinking when they made this incorrect logical assertion?" but I'm drawing a blank on this one....
I am looking super cute today.
I agree, you are looking very cute today. I hope Tino doesn't notice.
ION, Transparent aluminum, fuck yeah!

"Oxford scientists have created a transparent form of aluminum by bombarding the metal with the world's most powerful soft X-ray laser. 'Transparent aluminum' previously only existed in science fiction, featuring in the movie Star Trek IV, but the real material is an exotic new state of matter with implications for planetary science and nuclear fusion."
lisa - I hope it is nothing.

It has something to do with them all being the same species. It's too complicated to explain.

That's a toughie. I think you could make a case that there are too many variables in life expectancy to use it as a metric of quality of health care. In this case, I think the best explanation is that Bill O'Reilly is an idiot.
oh msbelle, i'm so sorry about the bedbugs. Your Dealing with it efforts are truly admirable.

All I can figure is that he doesn't know what "life expectancy" means and is translating it into "fewer deaths/year" in his head or something.
I hope your cat is ok, lisah.
