What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Can someone with an actual graphics program help me out? I have acquired a hi-res version of donut mitosis, but I want to crop each individual print into a file. It's a very simple task, but the only photo-editing software on my work computer is Paint.

(I am going to use this for my cancer pharmacology workshop. Yes, I will be teaching science with donuts.)

I have at least one gay friend who says he knew from kindergarten. He just didn't want to pull any girl's ponytails.

The conscious realization hit me at 13, but as my parents have a photo of my preschool "girlfriend" clutching me like Pepe Le Pew with me frantically trying to escape her grasp, there were perhaps signs to be read earlier than that.

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

Oh, my god, they need ANOTHER REFERENCE.

I have beer! And I need to drink it quickly, because I need to leave the office in 30 minutes to meet friends for dinner.

Thanks, Ginger. Someone else has already offered, though, so I'm covered.

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

I started sorting through some of my files to see what I can get rid of. A newsletter was stuck to one of my files that must have come with my filing cabinet. It the International Financial News Survey, published by the International Monetary Fund, from December 21, 1956.

A Christian woman who grew up in Austria tells the How to Take Back America conference how Obama is just like Hitler. [link]

During her session, Werthmann went through a litany of examples of how President Obama is like Adolf Hitler. She noted that Hitler, who acted “like an American politician,” was “elected in a 100% Christian nation.” Although she failed to once mention Antisemitism or militarism, Werthmann explained how universal healthcare, an Equal Rights Amendment, and increased taxes were telltale signs of Nazism.
