Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

What issue is the Beat article in?

Weird - I guess they're afraid of people downloading the whole thing at once.

Happy Birthday, Matilda!!! Poor thing. I still can't stand people singing happy birthday to me.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

It took two people to write that song.

I hate singing Happy Birthday. It always sounds like a funeral dirge, people sing very slowly and often off key.

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

A friend of mine from West Virginia use to sing what he swore was a genuine West Virginian version of Happy Birthday, to the tune of the Volga boat song:

It's your birthday *stomp*
It's your birthday *stomp*
People dying, children crying
It's your birthday *stomp*

I doubt WV really gets the blame, but it does make a change from the usual version.

Happiest birthday, Matilda!

We have had A Day today and tomorrow I'm taking a group of my students to the Getty for a field trip. On a Sunday.
