'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Also, outgrowing women and living in a men-only world? Sounds kinda gay to me...

Sounds like Sparta. What could possibly be gay about Sparta?

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

Wow.

Postal Worker Stole 30,000 Netflix DVDs

(SPRINGFIELD, Mass.) — A former postal service employee has pleaded guilty to stealing more than 30,000 DVDs that moved through a western Massachusetts post office.

Myles Weathers, formerly of Springfield, took DVDs that were mailed by Netflix to customers for a year beginning in January 2007.

Federal prosecutors say the movie rental company alerted Springfield post office officials that a suspiciously high number of DVDs were disappearing. As many as 100 movies a week were disappearing.

Weathers was arrested in February 2008 after investigators filmed him taking DVDs from packages and slipping them into his backpack.

He faces 10 months to 16 months in prison and restitution costs of about $38,000 at his Dec. 23 sentencing.

That guy is going to be pissed when he finds out about bittorrent.

I shouldn't be so amused - darkly amused - that Dr. Gupta got H1N1 while reporting from Afghanistan, right?

It's an absolutely brilliant, spot-on deconstruction of the theology/soteriology, as well as lambasting the execrable writing.

Lambasting the writing seems almost unfair, it's it really all about the theology with the plot, characters, and dialogue as sort of afterthoughts.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I got an awesome review from Scrappy that has been keeping me buoyant.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Also, the Bible mentions male homosexuality five times, but doesn't mention lesbianism at all.

Very minor nit: isn't there something in the stuff Paul wrote about "...strange ways, men lay with men, women with women". However for us Jews I think the statement is true. Nothing in OUR bible about lesbians. Except maybe a passionate romance between two women if (as is often done) you interpret Naomi and Ruth that way. Really minor nit, because dead on in the main point.
